That's me too! I lost 8ish lbs after surgery (1st week), and so far nothing since then! According to the scale at work, I have gained a pound (but our scale never matched the doctors, so I am not too concerned).

Hello sleevers,

I am 8 weeks post op and had a stall at 2 weeks and then again at 4 weeks.

Don't worry, your body is in shock and just needs to catch up with what's happened.

The scales will start moving again. Also even though you aren't losing on the scale doesn't mean things aren't happening, your body needs to reassess what has happened and is will change other things.

Keep following the diet and you will start to lose again real soon.

Good to know. I was sleeved on the 11th and lost 8 pounds but in the last few days nothing. I keep telling myself that it is normal. Thanks for the encouragement.

My husband and I were sleeved 2 weeks apart. His first week he lost 18 pounds and his 2nd week he gained s pound. Started loosing again in week 3. My first week only lost 5 pounds. On my second week now and since we have started walking I see the numbers dropping on me a lot. My biggest concern is stalls but I know everyone goes through it.

Had the sleeve on the 10th. Morning of surgery I was 219. Day after surgery I was 231!! All Water gain from them pushing so much Fluid for the surgery! Now at 216. I know I have to start walking more but I am still having discomfort and tire quickly! Other wise things are going ok, getting most of my fluid in through Protein Drinks etc.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
