Heidi Kat. ... I have been stressing about not losing anything over the past two weeks and being concerned it would be a marker for after surgery. So glad to see your success. On the the next two weeks of liquids.

Hang in there....i think the body freaks out and trys to hold on to the weight. It trys to protect. Once it realizes you are healthy. IT WILL START TO RELEASE.

@@megnun21 I'll be 2 weeks out tomorrow. I'm not even bothering tracking weight loss at this point - we had a lot of swelling and Water retention from the IVs and weight can fluctuate up and down drastically during this time. Concentrate on getting plenty of fluids (at least 64 ozs) and meeting your Protein goals. Don't restrict foods - eat as your plan suggests! There's no way to compare your progress with anyone else. We all lose at different rates - and have different amounts to lose. Just keep doing what you're supposed to be doing - the weight will come off. It's not a race.

exactly what KristenLe said! but if it makes you feel better - in the first two weeks I lost...NOTHING not even a tenth of a pound. Now at 4.5months out, I'm down 70lbs. So everyone loses differently but if you follow your plan, you will lose.

Wow, at 4/5 months and youre down 70lbs. Thats freaking awesome. Hell, i only have 120lbs to lose so that would be great fir me. Im really not trying to get to the goal he wants me at. 145lbs because im 5'7. But im 51, and ive always maintained that weight until 3yrs ago when they started steriod treatments for my health problems and i ballooned up 150lbs. Im trying to maybe get to 160, size 10. So right now its coming off good. I started out in a 3x, im in a 1x now.

How do I give a thumbs up or add a new post on here? I want to give you all a "thumbs up" simply for taking the bull by the horns and making your future healthy self a reality! I'm an RN, 9 days out VSG, nothing but problems - I spent an extra 4 days in hospital due to nausea/pain spasms, came home for 3 days, back in the ER yesterday having IV fluids, spent last night having major diarrhea with my first bowel movement in 10 days (curse you, Milk of Magnesia!) and lost around a liter of RED Fluid, now it's morning and I'm feeling a lot better. Yes I know I lost blood from somewhere and I should have gone back to the ER but at 4am I just couldn't do it - I'd had enough of hospitals. More diarrhea just now is a normal color. Anyone else on here having bowel trouble?

Me, me, but its the complete opposite. Im so constipated man. I had same procedure on 10/4 so a month post op. Ive been doing great until tuesday. They repaired a huge hernia and gallbladder at the sametime so my recovery, ive been taking it easy. Ive been able to reach each goal ive set for myself. Im up to 2miles a day walking, im on pureed foods but i cant keep anything down the past 3 days. Ive had 1 bowel movement 2 wks past surgery and nothing since. Ive taken mom's also for relief. Now im in so much pain, and dehydrated that im here in the er waiting to recieve a iv for fluids. Ive been kicking myself in the ass for 2 days wondering why all of a sudden, im going through this. Heartburn is just so bad i feel like im on fire on the inside. They just took my vitals and my pressure is through the roof because of pain. I just hope they call me back soon. Damn my dr for being on vacation right now and i had to come to another er. If he was in town, he cohldve just called the fusion center and had them hold me a chair for a iv. But im at another hospital where another bariatric dr is on call for hispatients just in case of emergencies. Wish me luck, and i hope u start to feeling better soon

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
