paula512 32 Posted March 11, 2013 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrmBig4Evr 152 Posted March 11, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveNZ 219 Posted March 11, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why am I lot losing? 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! =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
