JULY 2014 SLEEVERS GROUP

[No Day But Today 5]

I was sleeved July 1 and doing well. I lost 10 lbs pre-op and 15 more in the first two weeks. I have been stalled for almost three weeks. I lost 2.5 in the last few days but it is frustrating. I see my Nut and Dr next week and am hoping my stall will be over soon. I think what is frustrating is that I believe I am doing everything right. I haven't even eaten out once. I cook all my food. I must say I was a nervous wreck prior to surgery and feel great this last week and a half just tired due to working long days. I am excited for everyone on their journey! Best of luck.

I am right there with you. I was sleeved July 1st. I lost weight the first two weeks and then nothing for the last 3 weeks. I follow the plan, drink my Water, get my Protein in and exercise 60 minutes 6 days a week. I am getting discouraged. I am a heavywieght, so I thought I would lose quickly in the beginning. They say the first 6 months to a year you lose the best......I'm bummed that I am stalled so early on and for 3 weeks straight. OYE!

Hey fellow sleevers. I just had my one month check up. I've lost a total of 43 and I'm stalled out. I can pretty much eat anything, but not much of it. I am a little discouraged with this stall. But we've all been there before.

Stalled too

I was sleeved on July 31st. I was on Clear Liquids and Jello until today when I got to eat some soft solid food. I have been healing great, getting in all my Water and then some. I sometimes deal with air bubbles or something in my stomach that are uncomfortable for a moment but then pass. So day one of eating has been interesting. I was super excited and I felt pretty good after the first meal which I could only take in about 2oz. My second meal, I took in about 3oz. 3rd I was back to barely 2oz. I don't feel great tonight, my stomach is gurgling like crazy so tomorrow I think I am going to try sticking to some yogurt, cottage cheese, maybe refried beans... All super soft. Plus I have to get going on Protein Shake as I have to have those for all my Snacks for the first 2 months. (my surgeon didn't have the lengthy liquid/protein shake diet before surgery.) The only other notable thing is my energy dropped drastically yesterday and remained low today. I am hoping now that I can start my Vitamin regimen and am starting to get in some food that I will start feeling better! Glad I found this group of people who are close in timing as me- it's helpful to read everyone's experiences.

I agree I was sleeved july 28th and will be thrilled if the 10lbs I gained in hospital is gone in the next 3 weeks. Remember slow and steady wins the race!

I was sleeved July 18th. Came home 12 pounds heavier. Took me 5 days to lose it. At my 10 day post op appt I had l Iost 4 pounds. My doctor tried to hide her disappointment. When I told her of the 12 pounds weight gain she admittedI was now putting out enough urine during the surgery so they just kept pumping fluids into me. I've lost a total of 15 pounds in the 19 days since my surgery.

correction*I was not*

My surgeon warned about gaining 10-20 pounds from the surgery. When I was weighed the day after I had only gained 3 pounds. But I was urinating like crazy the afternoon of surgery and every day since! I am down 14 lbs since surgery (today is my 6th day post op)... But I just got off clear liquids and am now starting to eat some food and drink Protein Shakes so I am guessing the weight loss will taper off now.

I was sleeved on July 14 and have "only" lost 22 pounds. Have stalled for the last 5 days but i am not getting worked up about it. Of course, we'd all like to wake up 40 pounds thinner in the morning. And, of course, we know that's unrealistic.

My mindset on stalls is this: When I was gaining weight, there were times I ate a TON of food and didn't gain an ounce. I didn't see that as a failure. So, I decided for the duration of this journey that I am not going to see the non-loss as a failure either. It's just what the body does from time to time. The smartest thing we can do is keep working and stay focused on the goal.

According to my home scale, I have not lost anything in three days. I hope this passes quickly. I am only 10 pounds away to what I was when I got married.

Totally change up what you are doing, that kick started me. I went back to mostly just Protein shakes!

Woooowee!!! 43 lbs in one month!! I'm so jealous!! I am one month post op and down 25 lbs, which I am so thankful for especially because I have made a lot of mistakes, but 43 would have been so great !! Lol

I hate the stall part of this.... Only down 20 pounds and NOTHING since July 19... Whats up with that!

[pegcrain 7]

Don't worry! Have you started walking? Add something different to your exercise routine! Even if you don't, the stall will eventually end n
