Yes very weak!! Hoping my energy and strength come back soon. I was sleeved on 5/5/15. It's been a little rough, but I know it will be all worth it. Hang in there!

Hi! I was sleeved on 5/6 had some serious set backs along the way (allergy to meds put me back into the hospital & internal suture popped) so I was out of commission for the first 2 weeks. Here it is 6/2 and I'm 15lbs down. I've had a stall over the past week but I'm hoping that passes. I meet with the surgeon on Thursday and I'm hoping he clears me for more exercise besides walking.

Hi there, my name is Kimberly and I am also very tired and week. At first I had energy but this week it is at a zero. I only did a 1 week pre op diet since my BMI was at 40

Start wt - 244

At surgery - 238

6/2 - 229

Oh surgery date was 5/19

The scale hasn't moved in 3 days but I have had a hard time getting my Water and Protein in.

Not much worried since last time a couple days passed it jumped down a few pounds at once.

Hi, I had my surgery on 5/18 and I'm doing pretty good. I started purée foods yesterday and its a bit better. I've lost 12ibs since my surgery and that's encouraging. I had my post op today and they said all looked good. I'm just kind of over the liquids. I also had a 2 week pre op diet of liquids. Just trying to get my Protein and Water in. I've also been feeling hungry, I guess? Going to try an anacid like Pepcid, like a lot of people have been suggesting. I tried tums but that didn't do a thing.

Hi May sleevers,

I had my surgery on 5/18 and I've lost 22 lbs since my pre-op. Losing pretty slow I think. I went for my 2 week post-op today and the surgeon was pleased with my results so far. She did tell me I was dehydrated and if I didn't increase my Fluid intake I could be hospitalized. Working on increasing my Water, Protein and food. I'm sure this is why I still feel weak, lethargic and dizzy all the time. I feel like I'm getting better, but my weight has been stalling and creeping up, not going in the desired direction (down). I walk almost 10k steps a day, I'm just ready to lose????

Hi all. I was sleeved on 05/20 and I'm doing well. I just need to drink more Water. It's hard to get it all in during the course of a day. But other than that I'm feeling fine. I'm down 12lbs since my surgery and I managed to lose 50lbs in as many days before my surgery.

Hey all,

I was sleeved on May 26 and I am down a total of 19 lbs from highest of 312. I had a very difficult time losing weight on pre-op diet. I had such a hard time losing, period! My metabolism was so effed up from yoyo dieting, and meds I was on.

Good to hear from everyone.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
