Hi im one week out of sleeve surgery. Im down 12 pounds first week. Feeling good. Was wondering if that was about normal loss first week? Keep in mind I lost 20lbs before surgery so prolly not all Water weight. Started at 290lbs down to 258lbs. Also I was wondering when did everyone start taking there Vitamins after surgerys?

There's really no "normal". I lost 8lbs, some gain because of all the fluids, some lose more, some less. Lots of variables, so try not to compare yourself to others. Sounds to me like you're doing great! Glad you're doing well :)

I took terrible chewable Vitamins, so my surgeon gave me the okay right away. What did yours recommend?

Newly sleeved. Lost 10 the first week, only two the next week and two the week after. I was supposed to take vit d, Calcium and B12 the next day but had to wait until 3 weeks to start on a daily Vitamin and b complex.

My dr had me taking Vitamins and whole Tylenol the first day! Just broke the Tylenol in half before swallowing

I lost 9 first week, 6 the 2 nd 3rd week 6 and now only 4 this 4th week...certainly slows down fast that's for sure but it's still all adding up!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
