I am ready to pull my hair out. SW 266 i lost 16 lbs on pre op diet so before VSG I was 251. I am 16 days post op and I was down to 241 but I started puréed and now the scale will not move from 243.5, it has been five days and I’m going crazy. I thought two weeks post op that I would lose more weight than this. Is it normal to have a stall this early? Thanks

Thanks. I just was at my wits end! I’m gonna be patient

Just an update, I had my surgery April 2nd. Stick to the pre op diet and lost 15 lbs before surgery. I’m 10 days post op and have lost another 11 lbs. I have to say that I was very uncomfortable immediately after surgery, the pain from the gas is sort of weird and it’s just hard to get comfortable and pain medicine really didn’t help. Once I was up and walking around and sipping fluids I felt sooooo much better—so to all you getting sleeves in the future, the first couple hours after surgery suck but push through you will find relief! Especially from walking. It has definitely been an adjustment drinking I was a “gulper” before now I constantly sip. I feel full from very little amount of food like 2 tablespoon of yogurt and I have to eat really slow. Just today I am starting to have my apetite back, I’m still on full liquids until I see my surgeon next Thursday and I’m hoping he advances me to puréed. Good luck everyone!

I’m having surgery on April 2nd too. We can do it!!!!

I’m having my surgery in two days on April 2nd. Very excited but also nervous! The liquid diet was hard for the first three days but after that I felt like it got easier. Good luck to all of you!!
