2014 Sleevers

[Jschultes 9]

How is your process going I hit a stall after the first week. My tummy feel yucky after each meal. Do that mean I am eating the wrong things or am I eating to much or am I now a vegetarian? I have no idea. Can you help me out? I am three weeks out.

A better title for this thread may have been "2015 Sleevers" (assuming you recently had surgery).

Morning.

Depends upon when you had your surgery. If you just recently had it, first 2 weeks is liquids only, weeks 3-6 is mushy foods only, weeks 7 to year is GRADUALLY adding different foods (one at a time) because you have a brand new tummy (BABY tummy) and you have to think that way.

Would you put food in a 7 week old baby that is food you would normally eat? This is why your tummy most likely feels yukky. As for not loosing weight, are you walking or just sitting around?

I have not yet been cleared to go to the gym yet, hopefully on Tuesday I get that clearance. I have been walking 30-60 minutes per day since surgery. I loose about 3 pounds per week sometimes more. To date I have lost 58 pounds (I have to update my little scale person). I had my surgery on 11/21/14.

Hope this helps. Have a sparkling and healthy day.

I'm not sure what your surgeon will say but mine at least said that it was natural to now start experiencing the pretty rapid decrease in appetite. I've become virtually disinterested in more than a nibble of food but I eat my 1/4 cup anyway since I know I need too.

As for discomfort, I'd ask your doctor, it could be multiple things. For me I occasionally have it in the morning which I was told is fine. Otherwise you might be eating too much, or something that disagrees with you. Or it is something entirely else.

I only hit a short stall, and I think it was because I wasn't getting enough calories, but I run/jog a couple miles a day. Are you/have you been cleared to exercise? You really won't see weight falling off if you don't.
