patiscuba 28 Posted May 14, 2013 Ok, I am in no way freaking out, YET, but I am a bit frustrated. I was sleeved may 3rd. I feel wonderful. I am active, still struggling to et Water in due to pain and nausea from the water, but prior to surgery on the 2 week pre diet, I lost 20 pounds. I get sleeved, yak for 3 days, come home on liquids, and to date have only lost 1 whole pound. Am I doing something wrong, or missing something? I just though the stall didnt start till 2 weeks, but this is a bit disappointing I guess If I am honest 1 ZaKiya reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiffanykj 48 Posted May 14, 2013 Im 9 weeks in.... Since my surgery I have struggled with 3lbs. I will lose a lot and then stall an go up and down three pounds then I will lose. Then I will do it again... Up and down 3lbs. I asked a lady that had the surgery and she said to drink lots of Water bc she does the same. I know you said you get sick, but I did what she said and it worked. I know everyone is different though. Just a tip for you. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TES 858 Posted May 14, 2013 You probably still have Fluid retention from the IV fluids you received in the hospital. I gained 14 lbs of fluid from that but it came off in around a week, and then I started losing "real" weight. Hang in there and try not to weigh for at least another week...and drink as much Water as you can and walk as much as you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIJourney 490 Posted May 14, 2013 That's great you los 20 lbs on the 2 week pre-diet! I'm guessing your body is still adjusting to that huge loss and you will see another drop soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
