I was sleeved June 6 as well and I've lost 16 pounds the first 2 weeks. Just like you, I haven't loose any weight since then and yes, I'm frustated. I think I need to get more Protein in, and eat a little more. Today I ate 800 calories for the first time and had 60grs of Protein. I plan to continue this way and be patience until the scale moves again... Good luck to us! and hang in there, I know how this feels

@@dski Don't go by your FitBit. At this point you should be concerned about eating Protein and drinking Water (non caloric drinks). My plan suggests 1-2 ozs of protein every 3 hours while awake and increase to 3-4 ozs week 4. Track your protein and water intake. Don't worry about calories right now.

Hello there!!

I feel your pain I am in the same boat... I was sleeved 5/26 so about 1 month post op and I lost 22 pounds first week and a half and then a 2.5 week stall. I sought out advice here because surgeon said the same, so I recently increased my Protein and Clear Liquids, added a colace stool softener everyday( i go only every 10-12 days the Constipation sucks) and when I sit for a meal I only eat my Protein and 20 mins later if still hungry I eat my veggies or fruit. My NUT approved oatmeal and cereals at stage 5 but I cut 90% of CARBS and within the last week I am slowly loosing again. Oh, and I try to walk a lot more daily as well. Stalls are normal and my surgeon told me to weigh in biweekly and stay off the scale lol..

Good luck!

Focus on drinking your Water, getting in enough Protein and walking at least 30 minutes a day. This is your part the weight loss will follow. I went through the same thing at first and now I. Am down almost 80 lbs. [emoji4] Trust the process.

Dski the article posted by RickM was great. I would caution you not to do any weight lifting/strength training though until your surgeon clears 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.
