2 weeks post op

[Hopeful24 1]

Im 2 weeks post op today and I dont see any more weight coming off.. I lost 12 lbs the first week and seem to be suck. I dont think I have lost anymore.. What is going on ... I am getting discourage that I will ever be as skinny as I once was. Has this happen to anyone else?

Hopeful,

oh, I feel for you! I haven't been sleeved yet, so maybe this is empty advice for you, but try to just focus on your Fluid intake and Protein. You know, when our body has a trauma (and sometimes even a heavy work-out can be considered a trauma...certainly major surgery!) the body tries to protect itself and pad with Water...hence Water retention. Don't worry. It will happen...like you, I've read about this happening to others and it is only temporary. Focus on your fluids and Protein and the rest will follow...

Chin-up girl. Remember that this too shall pass!

I am 3 weeks post op and eperiencing the same thing. I lost 15 pounds in the first 2 weeks, 20 if you count the 2 days of liquids pre surgery. I am able to eat solids but I barely eat more than 3 spoons of food twice a day. I know that I am not getting 64 oz of watr or the Protein but many others have reported that they could not get all of their nutrients; yet they are loosing. I feel your pain.

It happened to me. We all hit stalls I am almost two months out. Make sure you are getting enough Protein and Water and be patient with your body. It took me about two weeks to start loosing again.
