TerpGirl12 4 Posted September 16, 2013 I haven't had surgery yet, so I'm probably not much help.... BUT, you also have a lower starting weight than most people. So you may not lose as fast! 1 grateful-1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grateful-1 30 Posted September 17, 2013 Thank you everyone:) Hannah55, 18 days ,yikes!! So about how many calories were you eating during phase 2, and was it when phase 2 was over that you started losing? I actually got in almost 1100 calories in today. I don;t know if that;s too much or not, but I figured it was worth a shot. Thanks again:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At 2 weeks out I was still at 300-400 cals/day and then 500-600 average until my 6 wk follow up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovelyv 2 Posted September 19, 2013 I had my sleeve done 9/4. Recovery is going great. Felt weak the first 4 days and just minor soreness at one incision. Feel great now. I have followed everything to the tee, pre op and post op. I am getting all of my Protein in and fluids and just started puree. My NUT said I may not be getting enough calories and to drop one Protein Shake and get the protein from foods now that I'm on puree. I started doing that yesterday. I have lost 6 lbs. since surgery (plus 9 lbs. pre op), and now have been at the same weight for 4 days. I also have been walking. I have read so much about stalls, but mostly around week 3. Why am I having one at 6 days? I worry I'll have another one at 3 weeks. Getting discouraged, but I keep trying to tell myself it will come off, but still frustrating:( I am very grateful for the great recovery though:) Yeah I am having the same problem and had mine 8/29. It is fristrating but not looking at the scale everyday is helping me this week...we can get over this because its going to work. Think about it we have to let out body heal before it can really work, just because the incisions are healed fdont mean our insides are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chantel 67 Posted September 19, 2013 I had a stall that started about 2 weeks post op and lasted about a month. No kidding! But... I started losing again eventually and now I'm down 45 pounds since the start of my pre-op diet on 6/25/13. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
