I had sleeve surgery done 5.29.17. I've lost 17 pounds lost op however I have been waffling back and forth with the same pound for a week. I am getting 55 grams of Protein a day. Walking on treadmill for 45 minutes daily. And the scale hasn't moved since about 15 days post op. I can't eat much so my calories are around 600 a day. Who doesn't lose weight when obly getting 600 calories? I'm irritated and disgusted. Failure is not an option.

I was sleeved on the 26th and have been in a stall for about a week now. I eat about the same amount as you. I hear its possibly the 3 week stall and that this is normal as your body tries to adjust and heal.

God I hope so. Its not like I need to see 10 pounds gone but the one pound yoyo completely sucks.

I was sleeved on 6/1 and have lost 16 pounds. I have not lost anything in week 3-4. I'm hoping I can see some change in the coming weeks. Keep motivated!

This journey is a series of one stall after another. As long as the trend is downward all is good. I am 5 months post op and down 45 pounds. Seems like I'll go a bit without losing and then one day I wake up down 2 pounds. As long as your staying true to your plan you will drop the weight.

55 g of Protein is not enough but I remember early on I had a hard time getting my protein in. As you heal you will be able to eat more and that helps. I shoot for 60 - 100g a day. Most days I get closer to the 100 mark. At 1 month I was lucky to get 40g.

Congrats on your surgery. Take care

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
