Hello, I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 1/19/16 and my weight at surgery was 267.5 lbs. I am lucky in the fact that i have not had any complications and everything has gone pretty smoothly. The first two weeks after my surgery, I lost 10 pounds (my surgeon said that was a normal amount). I am now starting my second week of the pureed diet and I haven't lost any weight since my last check up (over a week ago). I know that it hasn't been very long and I shouldn't really be weighing myself but I wanted to see if this was normal. I know of a number of people who had the surgery and lost a ton of weight in the first month and I feel like I am not loosing at the same pace. I follow all my directions and have been getting about 80 grams of Protein and about 700-800 calories a day (my doctor wants me at 800-1000). My clothes do not really feel any different and I just feel like I stopped loosing weight as soon as I went on to the next phase of pureed foods. Thank you! Avery

Thank you- it is encouraging to know that I am not alone.
