Am just wondering am I gonna be the 1st one who made the sleeve operation and didn't lose weight

My sleeve was 17/12

Down like 6 kilos and then a stall for 4 weeks and then down another 3 kilos and stall AGAIN!!

I don't know how to manage my food actually.. am always hungry .. maybe every 2 hours .. I eat and then I feel runny nose and sneezing every time I have a full stomach

I honestly wish I had some answer for you just don't give up. I lose 5 or 6 than stall constantly. I would say just continue to do what you're supposed to and don't give up and think it's not working. Try to stay focused.

You are going to have to sit down and plan out 3 meals and 1 snack at very specific times. For example, eat at 8, 12, and 6, with a snack at 3.

Stay away from food at other times, but keep drinking your sugar free beverages.

If you are eating every 2 hours, you have no time to drink! (Think about it.. 30 minutes before, plus 30 minutes for the meal, plus 1 hour after with no liquids).

You are doing what is called "eating around your sleeve" eating more frequently and not waiting to drink... I'll bet you aren't getting 64oz of Water either ;)

If you are truly uncomfortable, you may have too much acid, or some inflamation. Talk to your doc and nut.

You can do this!

I am 3 1/2 months post-op and I've been on stalls as many weeks as I've lost weight. It's just part of the process. The scale continues to move down and my clothes are getting bigger so it's all working out. You just have to be patient and follow your program. Make sure you are eating your Protein, drinking your Water and avoiding carbs as much as possible. Also make sure you are working out 4-5X a week.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
