Hi there - so I am 3 weeks post op from my gastric sleeve. I lost 15 pounds in the preop diet and another 15 the first week after surgery. I have not lost a pound since then. I am getting in between 60gram to 80grams of Protein a day. My calorie intake ranges from 500 to 700. I am drinking 60oz of fluids a day and am walking for an hour. Is this normal? I am getting frustrated. Some changes in my clothing size but nothing significant.

My numbers are about the same as yours. I'm three weeks post-op today and I'm STALLED also. Hope this ends soon.

Week three stall. Totally normal. Almost everyone of us gets it. Don't worry it will pass. You're body is rebalancing.

Yes it is perfectly normal. Stay positive, your body will adjust and the weight loss will start again. You might want to try tracking measurements, sometimes when the scale isn't moving you will notice changes in your sizes. Stay positive, stay on your plan and everything will be fine. Good Luck.

I'm experiencing it too! Though the past week I haven't lost but thus morning it is down 2-3lbs. So I'm hopping that this is the end of it. I wad told by my nut to not worry about calories just worry about Protein. Which I'm getting. But I know yesterday I did not meet my Water goals. It is frustrating. I am down roughly 35lbs from July 10th when I was sleeved. But I still fit into allot of my clothes. I'm compacting, as my husband says. I'm losing it from my shoulders up and my thighs down. Hopefully it ends soon and I can start dropping again.

Thank you everyone, just reading these posts has calmed me down. I am just going to keep at it and I know the weight will come off eventually.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
