I would really appreciate your thoughts on this!!

I started my nut. supervised diet on Sept. 21,2012. I weighed 215lbs. & I'm 5'2" & lost 20lbs. On my 1 week pre-op liquid diet I lost 6lbs. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Feb.26 2013. One week after surgery I has lost 6 more pounds. Last Monday I was feeling really sick, no energy, & faint....and my blood pressure was very low. I went to see my family doctor and he took me off all my meds. Thanks goodness!!! That was one of my main goals!! I've been off all my blood pressure meds. for 1 week today & I gained 2lbs. I'm still on the full liquid diet....I'm eating about 400-600 calories a day. I'm getting all my Water, Vitamins, and protien in. My problem is I HAVEN'T LOST ANYTHING IN A WEEK & I GAIN 2LBS!! I know it has only been 2 weeks today from my surgery, & I still have swelling, AND my body is adjusting to no blood pressure meds. BUT I'm frustrated!! Am I exspecting too much to soon? Why am I lot losing?

Its normal, your body is adjusting. You can never compare your results with someone else. You've had the surgery. Do what your doctor instructs you to do and you will lose. There is always a stall in the first few weeks to a month or so. Getting off your meds is the best news I hear! It really is a life saver and tells you that your body is on the right track!

Take your messurements ... guarentee your scale isnt telling the truth :) like the poster above said - you are experiencing a stall. Your body is in starvation mode and holding onto everything its got. This can often lead to a gain. You'll start losing again soon.

I had surgery the same day as you and I'm not losing any right now either. The past couple days. It will eventually come off. Just keep doing what you are doing! =) Our bodies are just in shock, that is all LOL! =)

      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.
