August post op sleevers: Check in

[jelmore8312000 114]

How much exercise is everyone able to tolerate at this point. My surgery was August the eleventh and I barely have the energy to do a little over a mile.

omg energy I barely have any it seems like I'm on a roller coaster one minute I'm up and then the next I'm down. I'm taking all the Vitamin I was told. I just know one day it will get better.

@@jelmore8312000 That is exactly how I am. My first week home after surgery was terrible. I completely wished I hadn't had it done. It was hard for me to do ANYTHING. I'm slowly getting better. I pushed myself hard today and made myself walk a little over 2 miles.... Now I am drained. I know it will get better with time so until then I am patiently waiting!

Well I am karen I was sleeved on 8/20 and have lost 17 lbs since surgery. Alittle down now seeing I have not lost anymore. Alittle disappointed that it hasnt been more. I am now on purée and I can drink without sipping but can't eat too much. The most I eat is 600ish cal and still in a stall as they call it. But still hanging in there and love the support here. ????

Hey everyone. I decided it was time for us to set up a post op section for the August folks. there are a lot of yu guys on here and I would like to be able to see how you are progressing. Any changes? Concerns? We can help one another.

I am day 9 post op and all is well with me. Trying to stay hydrated and sipping on the portein shakes. I am able to sip more now, thank goodness. I feel thirsty all the time. Even if I wake up in the middle of the night, I am sipping. My fisrt post op visirt is on the 8th and hopefully eveything will be good.

Later Losers!

I was sleeved on August 22nd. Everything is going smooth. Down 21 pounds, walking everyday eating pureed foods. My only problem is I don't feel full. I am only eating the recommended amount and food but just not full.

I'm stuck too! 20 lbs the first week, then nothing for almost two! Is this normal? How long should it last? I'm so discouraged!!!

I've been stuck since after my first wk of surgery!

me too. I thought I was alone. Do we just wait continue doing wat we r doing and the weight will come off?

[ekh21ash 26]

@@Karen Scott - I was told to just keep doing what we are doing. I've also been told that this stall is perfectly normal and to just be patient and the weight will start coming off again. So with that being said.... I am just patiently waiting for this stall to go away. I have been in it for about 2 1/2 weeks.

Hello All I was sleeved August 19th I'm down 17 pounds. I've decided only to weight myself once a week or go nuts. I lost 26 pounds pre op. My incision still bugs me so I can't swim like I want to just yet. Congratulations and good luck to you all.

Sleeved on 8/15/14 loss 12 pounds during the first week but have been stalled now for 15 days, needless to say I'm frustrated. I'm consuming anywhere between 600-800 calories a day and exercising 5-6 days/week. ????

I was sleeved 8/26. I feel better every day. I've lost about 10 pounds since surgery. Working on getting my stamina back. We're in the middle of moving this next week so it would be great to have more energy but I will try not to over do it!

[JenWants2LoseWeight 9]

I'm still struggling over not being able to eat, my heartburn and severe upper back pain. I'm still wishing I hadn't done this surgery. People keep telling me this is just the hard portion because of learning to adjust but it doesn't feel like it. Life just feels so hard. Hopefully this will get better.

[m4nurse 19]

I have some regrets too! Eating such a small amount of food and exercising more than usual and the scale is stalled. I truly hope this stall comes to and end.

[lindseyzzzme 12]

How the heck do you guys exercise?! By the time I get home from work and night class, I basically collapse on the bed?! No energy!
