You've lost a large amount of weight in 2 weeks. Great start. Weight will keep dropping if you keep following your plan. You may not see a drop every day or every week even but it will continue. Your body is still healing from major surgery and needs to adjust every so often to dropping the lbs. Good luck on your journey!

2 weeks post op' date=' I've lost 20 lbs.... How is everyone else doing? I think I'm beginning to feel frustration!

I am 2 weeks PO on Monday and I too have reached the stall. Including my 2 week pre op diet I am down 30lbs. It is frustrating to me because I'm not able to eat anything and I'm still not losing, but it makes sense that there is an adjustment period!!! Keep your head up, you're not alone!!! Hope you're healing well!!! :)

Exactly how I'm feeling... Can't eat, & slow process... Thank you for the well wish, healing pretty well, but still very sore along with gas & what feels like terrible reflux!

Don't be frusrated, you are only 2 weeks in. You knew going into this that it takes longer than 2 weeks. There will be stalls and its ok. In my stall days i think my clothes actually got looser during those days than when i was losing. Hang in there and remember this will take time.

Sorry, but I can't find any way to say this that doesn't sound mean - cause it's not meant to be. It's only a reality check.

Buuuuut, Really?????????? Two weeks post op and already stalling? You might want to consider having a sleeve revision. :P

Yes, 2 weeks and stalling wasn't expected, had no idea it would happen so soon. I just wanted to hear other stories of if in fact it has happened to anyone else!

A large majority of us stall between the 2-3 week. Just keep doing what your doing and it will start up again eventually.

I think it would be a big ask of our bodies to sustain that sort of weight loss continuously. I'm just a couple of days over 3 months post op and have had several short periods of stalling and even twice regained a little weight - and I'm post menopausal so can't blame Fluid and hormones! Always comes right in the end.

Post sleeve we eat such ridiculously low calories, ( are you tracking your food so sure of your calorie intake?) that you WILL eventually continue to lose weight. Either than or you're a medical miracle!

      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.
