Try increasing her dose of prisoner to 2 pills or even a different kind like nexium or pepcid

Especially since surgery was 4 weeks ago

Yes but to have only lost 9 lbs since surgery can't possibly be right

Ok, so I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow. I lost 9 lbs on my 3 day preop op diet. Then lost 13lbs post op and gained 4 lbs back. For a total of 18lbs. 9 lbs pre op and 9 lbs post op. Why am I not losing? The scale hasn't moved in over a week. I wasn't getting enough water in so I have been diligent about increasing my water intake. Some help please! Starting to think I am gonna be the small percentage that fails. Also I work 12 hour night shifts 3 days a week. The other days of the week I'm a day shift person. Some days I am up all day and then go to work and work all night with only a short nap in between.

Ok, so I am 2 wks post op and the scale still isn't moving! I have lost 15 lbs since beginning my 3 day preop diet. 8 lbs since surgery. I have been going for walks and watching my calorie intake and following my plan. Why is the scale not moving!?

I probably shouldn't weigh myself every day. Sometimes I weigh multiple times a day.

Ok, so I am 11 days post op. Surgery was 10/23. I have only lost 14 lbs since I began my 3 day preop liquid diet. Only lost 8 lbs since surgery date. Why is my initial weightloss so low. I'm hardly eating food at all. Its been full liquids. I have noticed that my sleeve holds more than 4 Oz easily. Especially if I go slow. I usually get at least 60g of protein, but have a hard time getting all my water in. I have only been slightly active. Went on a few walks and did some yard work raking leaves. When will I see a significant weightloss. Something to motivate me more.

Ok, so I am 5 days post op and haven't lost anything! I am really getting frustrated! when will the weight start coming off? And why hasn't it already?

@@Sydney Little Merle the I have also been struggling to get all my protein in and have been down right HUNGRY! I was sleeved on the 23rd. It has been a rough road. I gave thought many times about testing my sleeve and trying to eat food. I haven't though and once I started passing gas (TO I I KNOW) and bowels moving. (Again TMI) I started feeling better, also moving more helps. But am still hungry! I am still very swollen as well. I actually weigh more now than the day of surgery. Only 5 lbs more, but still more. Hopefully this part will be over soon and we can move forward to happier, less hungry place. We can do this!!

I haven't been able to tolerate anything sugar free either. It just tastes too sweet.

I am only a few days post op and am feeling hungry for real food. I haven't had any, but definitely feel hungry

Glad to be home. Trying to sip my fluids in. You almost have to sip constantly. And I have never been big a fluid intake even before this surgery. Part of the problem I am having is that all th sugar free jello and Popsicles as well as pre-made protein drinks are way to sweet. I have pretty much been sticking with chicken bullion cubes, water, and my powder protein shakes made with skim milk. I can't wait to start seeing some results. Thank you everyone for all your encouraging words. It means a lot to me.

Ok, not so well now. I can't seem to get the fluids in. I feel so full and bloated. The neck and shoulder pain is also unreal. Looks like I will need to stay another night in the hospital do to the fact that I am unable to get down enough fluids. I Really Wanted To Go Home.

Trying to decide if I should stay in the hospital another night. Having a hard time getting all the fluids down and dehydration is a concern.
