I'm just shy of a month out of surgery, so I'm starting to eat a lot less than I ever would before , and have completely cut out unk food/coke/etc - sometimes I'll have some sugars and so on, but my weight has just come to a standstill these last 2-3 weeks. I lost about 8kg (15lbs) first up, and then just.. nothing , if that it's even gone up 2-3lbs (1-2kg) did anyone find the same thing happened ? Is it because your body has just gone into shock from being restricted so much ? I try and eat 3 "meals" a day, even if it's just yoghurt and tea for Breakfast , and I'm on a clean eating program of lean Proteins and vegetables + minimal carbs.. but still just.. nada. Did this happen to anyone else post surgery ?

I am 9 weeks out. I slowed down like you did and have now started losing at an incredible pace. Will blow right past last months record of 22 lbs. With a week to go to end the month I am 25 lbs down. 7.5 lbs in the last week. Wow. I dont know whether this is good or not.

I'm right there with you. I'm at 5 weeks postop and my scale has moved very little in the past 2 weeks. Really frustrating when you feel like you're doing everything right. I'm going to to kick off my exercise plan and maybe that will get me the results I'm looking for.

My scale didn't move at all for a few days after 4 weeks then I had an appointment with my surgeon, he told me to eat more to lose more.

That also when he ordered me to eat solid food just a day after I started losing again, slowly but losing, since then (10 days) I lost 1.4 kg (3 lbs).

I had a 12 day stall 2 weeks out. Most people do stall out shortly after getting sleeved. Follow your doc's recommendations and incorporate as much walking as you can and it will start back up.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
