21lb in 10 days.... REALLY???????????? Oh my heavens! And I FEEL great! Love my sleeve. I think I need to name her

Congrats that is awesome! God you give me hope! LOL Don't forget to update your ticker

[cab0ad]

great job! I am 3 days post op and I'm actually up 10 pounds right now! very discouraging! did you have swelling or weight gain after surgery? I am so worried/disappointed that I'm actually gaining massive amounts as everyone else is losing! what does your daily food intake look like?

[Binks]

cabOad---the gain is from the massive amounts they pumped into your through your IV, give it a day or two of you out, about and walking around, and it will start falling off! Best of luck!!

I didn't weigh for about 4 days after surgery but I looked about 7 months pregnant so yes I had some bloating. Ticker is updated and daily intake:
Breakfast: Protein shake
Lunch: Pureed veggies
Dinner: Soup and pureed veggies
And as much water has I can force in that bad boy through out the day of sipping

Congrats to all! It really is amazing! I just weighed and changed my ticker AGAIN! Since my pre-op diet I've lost 18 pounds total (20 days). This is definitely a first for me. Since surgery, I gained 3 pounds at first, then lost them, plus 9 more! 9 pounds of real fat gone for ever since surgery, in 6 days!

gosh, great job everyone! I went to the store this afternoon and walked around as much as I could but honestly, it wasn't much. only about 10 - 15 minutes tops. I still get very weak and dizzy when i walk around. I also noticed my calves are wanting to cramp up on me. I'm sure it is lack of fluids. I'm trying really hard to get them in but even sipping all day long I'm only getting around 40. I am so jealous of all of you! Keep up the great work!

I'm happy for you Mindy, I hope the wieght continues to to just drop off of you.

Give it time, I came home from the hospital 9 pounds heavier but lost that and more. The cramping I would bet is from dehydration, I had the same thing, just do your best to have a cup in your hands at all times and keep sipping and you will feel soooo much better. You're on your way ... it just gets better.

Let us know what you "name" your sleeve. I have been calling mine "Volcano" since it erupts with acid so often. Not thrilled about that, but I'm taking Dexilant and it's a little better. Congrats on your quick loss, keep up the good work.
