I'm a low BMI patient. My BMI was 35 prior to my sleeve. I'm only 3 weeks and have lost 20lbs. My nausea level day 1 was non existent. My pain level day 1 was probably a 3-4. My first stall lasted 48 hours and happened at week 2, my second stall lasted 72 hours and happened at week 3. Erin - 35 - illinois HW:262/SW: 228/CW:210 Surgery date - 6/22/16

I've read of others who hit a stall at 3 weeks. I don't think it's uncommon to hit stalls as your body readjusts to its new size. Erin - 35 - illinois HW:262/SW: 228/CW:215 Surgery date - 6/22/16

I'm almost 2 weeks post op and feeling great! I walked almost 4 miles yesterday after taking a 2 hour nap. It seems I do better when I can sneak in an afternoon nap which is relatively new for me. I'm not able to sleep in like I used to so perhaps I'm just grabbing the extra hour or two I would have if I could sleep in. Or it could be that I'm still recovering and my body needs the middle of the day rest. Erin - 35 - illinois HW:262/SW: 228/CW:215 Surgery date - 6/22/16

Thanks @sleeveittobeaver I actually started walking the 2 miles in my pre op! I wanted to be ready and it took my mind off of food! Erin - 35 - illinois HW:262/SW: 228/CW:215 Surgery date - 6/22/16

I feel really good! I've been walking over 2 miles each night and I think that's helping my weight loss! Erin - 35 - illinois HW:262/SW: 228/CW:215 Surgery date - 6/22/16

I'm in my second week post op and I use MCT oil. I add a little bit to my Protein smoothie and it does the trick. Check it out! Dr.oz did a bit about it awhile ago! Erin - 35 - illinois HW:262/SW: 228/CW:216 Surgery date - 6/22/16

I had my surgery 6/22 and only lost 1 pound. I gained 5 from the surgery and evened out yesterday. I'm focusing on getting 60g of Protein this week so you're doing great! I also have had 0 nausea! Erin - 35 - illinois HW:262 SW: 228 CW:219 Surgery date - 6/22/16

I lost 8.2 pounds on my week pre op. You can do it! Erin - 35 - illinois HW:262 SW: 228 CW:219 Surgery date - 6/22/16

In my entire pre op week I only lost 8 pounds. You're doing great! Your body is likely just holding onto weight as it slides into survival mode. Erin - 35 - illinois HW:262 SW: 228 CW:219 Surgery date - 6/22/16
