I lost 20lbs in the first 2 weeks after surgery, then gained 17lbs at 2-3 weeks post-op, and then lost it again 5 days later. Apparently Water retention and my body just going into some shock from the surgery. This was while I was still on the liquid only diet. I have started losing again, but it's slower than I had expected based on what I've seen in other people. Your body might be in a little bit of shock, too.

So I am 7 weeks post-op, and this past week I am queasy whenever I eat and exhausted all of the time. Granted there has been a lot of "life" going on the past week and I started heavy at the gym a few weeks ago, but I don't think I should be THIS tired. And what is with feeling icky whenever I eat all of a sudden? I've had no issues with food intolerance up until now. Could dehydration or just not enough fluids cause both of these issues? Anyone else had similar problems? Thanks!

I had mine on 1/18/16, lost 20lbs in the first 10 days, then gained back 6 and have stalled. I'm encouraged that at least I'm not the only one who has stalled, but the weight gain is what has me worried. Guess we'll have to have patience and wait it out, which is always fun...
