I am very frustrated right now. I have only lost 23 lbs and this was done in the first 3 weeks. From there I haven’t lost anything. I have been at the same weight for 5 weeks. I don’t know where I am going wrong. I am eating the required foods as suggested. Only thing is I buy my food from restaurants or out the frozen section. I am logging all my food and counting my calories and carbs. I can’t quite understand why I am experiencing this. I strongly feel that my sleeve isn’t working and will not work. I work out and walk daily but nothing is helping. My next step is starving myself at this point. Anyone have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks for the replies and advice. I am eating low carb meals like breakfast bowls rotisserie chicken, baked chicken, vegetables, and I eat very small quantities and which I am tracking in my fit pal. I usually over calculate to ensure I’m not underestimating. Even with over calculating I am hitting 8-900 daily and no more than 40 carbs. I don’t understand where I am going wrong but I am starting to try to make my own meals to see if anything changes. as for water intake I am right at the 64 oz sometimes I am a bit shy by bottle lastly my bowels are not good either once weekly sometimes not even I have started a stool softener to help increase. i just truely hope that this procedure is not a failure

I am eating roughly 1100 calories a day. Is this normal I feel as if I have stretched my stomach already. I Followed the diet, and started eating soft solids, but I feel that I can eat too much comfortably. I have not experienced any issues like most others. I don’t have to eat slowly as I am able to eat fast with no problems. i can eat a 5 oz yogurt in one setting in probably 5 minutes. I have lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks. I believe that i will be the exception. I’m terrified right now I think I am eating too much. anyone have this problem or am I the only 1?

Thanks everyone for the insite. My 1100 calories does include my 2 protein shakes a day. However, I am still feeling a lot normal. I started soft meats and get full very fast. As for liquids, I can swallow big gulps, but it does take about 3 hours to finish a 16 oz bottle if I drink consistently. I ate with my colleagues and finally realized how slow I eat so it may have been my exaggeration of how fast I eat. I think I am so worried that my sleeve will not work to it is haunting me lol. Thanks again everyone and best of luck on your new journey. 15lbs down so far

Good to read everyone is feeling like me (great) i was really afraid that something was wrong. I lost a 11lbs only to gain 3 back. I have been following the diet precisely. Week 2 for me tomorrow

I had 4 c-sections and the gas pain on immediately after was the worst ever for me. Once I got thru day 2, I felt normal. Overall they both are painful and to compare the two (with my very first c-section) I believe it’s about a tie; however, the sleeve recovery seems to be much faster and easier. Get past first 2 days and you’ll be fine

I had the sleeve 1 week tomorrow. I initially lost 11lbs but gained 3 back (weird). I feel perfectly normal as if nothing has happened. I am able to drink with no problems, but sometimes feel gas if too fast. I feel no pain. I am still on the liquid stage and the broth does satisfy me but I still want food. ( I think that part is mental) I am not experiencing any of the dilemmas that I have read. I’m concerned if my sleeve isnt working because I feel too normal. Anyone go through this. Any tips will help thanks!
