One month post op

[NewNewMe 277]

One month post op (surgery date 4/30/15):

1. Lost 25 lbs by week 3 post op.

2. Hit first stall - no loss in last week

3. I am never hungry!

4. Doc wants me to eat six small meals a day 60-80g Protein. This is a real chore! food is no longer enticing.

5. I seem to eat about 600 to 800 calories per day.

6. Getting Water in is extremely hard during busy workweek.

7. I have been super lethargic this last week.

Would love to hear from others in this similar timeframe.

Omg! Me too! I'm so freaking tired. Water sucks to get in. Forget about the Protein. I'm pretty overwhelmed and daily life is just a chore right now. I'm almost 4 weeks now. Down 25-30lbs.

One month as of the 28th.

Very tired. Added b complex Vitamin to get to help with it. Not even close on Protein goals. Kinda Water. Down about 25 pounds. Isn't it weird to just eat a few bites and be full? Message me if you like. I would love to have buddies to chat with.

Curious. Is it a downer to only have a few bites especially when it's something really good?

[hello new me! 9]

Sleeved 5/13/15, down 22 lbs. I have stalled this week, it's been 4 days since I have lost any weight. I am also very tired, I have to have naps during the day! Glad to hear it's not just me, I was starting to get worried. I sip on Water all day but I'm still not getting down what I should. Thanks for sharing!

No, it is really weird. Eating is more of a chore. I am not wanting more even when it tastes good. You feel satisfied and not hungry. I don't know if or how much that will change. Right now food is not calling my name. I can definitely leave it but need to make sure I get my Protein in.

Thanks all for your replies. I am also glad to hear I am not alone with the fatigue and the stall. My scale finally moved again today after an entire week. I hope it keeps going now.

Dear New Me,

I was sleeved on 5/11 and was scheduled to go back to work on 6/1.. Going to have to postpone, am fatigued during the day and experiencing dizziness most days too. I swear I felt better week 1 than I do now.. I thought it was supposed to get better .. I'm drinking about 40-50 oz H2o but having difficulty getting in the Protein. Guess we just have to keep truckin!

Good luck to you and all sleevers .

Dizzy is not good. Are you using Protein Shakes or powders mixed in your food?

[Dreamer33 11]

I'm using the Protein Powder

I am 4 weeks post op. Omg what did I get into. I have lost 30 lbs and I am at a stalemate. I haven't been able to meet 64 oz of Water only 42. I'm unable to meet the Protein need with the shakes because they make me nauseated. However I am doing ok. It truly is a lifestyle change. I am glad I found this group.

[Alleyhamilton 4]

New to this app but I was sleeved on 5/1, I had major nausea and vomiting post op and ended up being readmitted upon discharge. I am currently doing ok but holding down fluids and getting the Protein shakes in are very difficult. Glad I have someone to talk to.

Hi,

I'm new to this site too. I had VSG surgery on May 14th, weighed 216, now I am post surgery 16 days. The good news is I hit Onederland this week, where I haven't been in 3-4 years. The weight loss is thrilling, however the learning curve of the sleeve has been difficult. As several of you have said it is hard to get in Water and Protein. I went back to work last week, and now I wish I

d had an extra week or so to recover. I don' have much energy, even though I am walking and taking Vitamins. I guess it's a process to get the new way of eating down.

I am glad to meet some fellow-sleevers. We can get through this together!
