Wannadance 0 Posted November 10, 2012 Hi, I am new to all this, I just had my sleeve done on October 25. I lost 21 lbs on the pre-op diet and have not lost any more weight since the surgery. I am 16 days out and have not lost a single pound. Is this normal? It is frustrating to be eating so little, drinking so much, exercising daily and still not see the scale move. Anyone else ever have this happen? Also I am still having some slight left lower abdomen pain intermittently. Is that normal? I am following my Dr.'s instructions to a T. Any words of advice out there? Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geno5150 168 Posted November 10, 2012 I don't think that it's normal, but not unprecedented, either. Have you taken body measurements- I would be interested to see if those have changed at all. Going strictly by pounds isn't necessarily the best judge of anything in such a short time period. The pain sounds like typical healing post major surgery. I would follow up with your doctor- their opinion is the one that counts this early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tealover 46 Posted November 10, 2012 What exercise are you doing? It's very early days for you to be doing that daily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
