I was on a liquid two weeks before surgery and two weeks after - I lost minimal weight right after surgery then gained three pounds when I started the puree/mashed diet, which lasted four weeks. During those four weeks, after my body adjusted to food again, I lost over 20 pounds. Hang in there, it will happen :-)

I was also sleeved 2/3 so far ive lost 6 lbs from surgery day.. I honestly think its the fluids that our body's are still holding onto. Once they are completely flushed out of our system we will drop a big number. Just keep sipping.

Well I'm a hater of the scale and when i got home from the hospital from surgery, i threw it out. . . I only weighed at the doctors appts and this is how that went, first 2 weeks 25lbs gone, 7th week 53lbs gone, 1 year out 150 lbs gone. . .I never had to witness a stall in the first year and was very very happy with my fabulous results. . I refused to be a slave to the scale. . . now I'm 3 years out now and lovin it. . . good luck!

Well, I'm losing inches but not many pounds!! It's a little disturbing!!! I've lost 22-24 pounds since surgery on 12/19/11..

I'm hoping to lose super quickly.... I went for a walk had some creamy chicken Soup " soup at hand" I'm going to save the container so I can warm up my Soups and take them with me everywhere I go and it will be convenient for me at work too

I can't remember how soon after my surgery I started loosing pounds. I do know that it seemed like I was loosing weight but not inches for ages. I had lost 25-30 pounds before any of my clothes started to look/feel loose. I was beginning to wonder if all the pounds I was loosing was off my feet, fingers and sinus passages, as my rings were loose, my shoes were loose and my allergies/sinus congestion had cleared up! Then all of a sudden, boom! My clothes started getting to big for me, and stuff (like my pants) started to fall off. I am now almost 8 months post op, and the weight loss has slowed down significantly, but I am still loosing about 1-2 pounds a month. I am so happy with my sleeve! I am down right at 100 pounds (it varies by a pound or so daily). I have gone from a size 26/28 top to a 12/14, size 22/24 pants to size 8 and my weight has gone from 258 pounds to 159 (this morning. Last Friday was 158. It varies on how much I ate the day before, how hydrated I am and how my scale feels like treating me each day!) I wouldn't go back to where I was for anything!!! Hang in there, the scale WILL start to move, and you WILL lose!
