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.

      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.
