so the first week post op I had Lost a total of 24 pounds 7 of that was pre op.. After the first week the second I weighted the same now the third week I weighted myself and I have gained about 3-4 pounds not only I'm in a stall since week one but I am gaining weight! Now I have heard about stalls but so early out is it normal? And how about the gaining?

I was reading and I'm not sure why but didn't look at the failure ratio of the sleeve and its a 30%.. I'm so scared I'm in that 30%... Any reassurance guys would be great to me :,(

Back away from the scale. You'll make yourself nuts. Resolve to only weigh at the doctor's office. That's what I do -- and I've never had a stall. Because even if I hadn't lost or even gained from one day to the next, I don't know it. I am 3.5 months post op, down 52 lbs, co morbidities resolved, and not living and dying by a fickle, lying scale.

If you are following your doctor's plan, getting your fluids and Proteins in, taking your Vitamins and moving every day you will not fail.

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!

^^^^^ The voice of reason.

People....burn those scales. They're a bunch of lying evil temptresses. They tease you and toy with your emotions by offering you easily attainable satisfaction...then they ****** all hope and joy from life. And ironically, they don't even begin to tell the whole story.

You are right I think I need to back away from that scale I just feel my pants a little more tighter that's why I was freakin out but I am going to take your advise and won't weight myself follow doctors instructions and wait until I weight myself at the docs office... Thank you!

      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.
