15 days post op and still no weight lost. I go to the gym and work out everyday and I follow the menu plan as best as I can. Should I be concern because I'm feeling like a failure already :(

Don't even worry!!! You are swollen and stitched and all that. My weight loss didn't pick up until I started solids about 4 weeks post op. You are doing just fine...take it easy, continue to follow your doctors rules and the weight loss will come in time. You need to heal.

The first 4-6 weeks post surgery are for healing, not losing. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

If you really want to lose even during the healing phase, start counting calories and keeping your food to a cup or less per meal.

Best wishes.

You are working out already? Wow...good for you... My dr wouldn't let me do exercise for a month.

That said... Are you on solid foods yet? If so are you tracking your calories? Even tho this is a time for healing we still need to be aware of what we eat and drink.

Have you gained anything?

I was on liquid foods from the 8-16th. After that i was put on soft foods but what's the difference between soft and regular diets lol? The sample menus I was given pretty much are the same in my opinion. As far as my exercises im just walking for now... they want me to do 30 minutes but I go for a hour. I feel good and people tell me Im losing but the scale say something totally different

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
