Weight loss slowly

[Jazy 2]

Hi all,, I did my sleeve on the 16th of this month (september) I lost a few pounds on my first week,, and now I'm almost finishing me second week and didn't loose anything, although I'm on the liquid diet still and I walk everyday,, is this normal? When do I expect to start loosing?

A search will show you dozens ... and dozens ... of threads about the stall that happens around week 2-3 post-op. Your body just had major surgery. Give it a break and relax and get well. Put the scale away and don't bring it out again for a couple of weeks. Be good to yourself, let yourself heal. Stalls happen all the time, this isn't a sprint it's a marathon.

Thank you ❤️❤️ that's a relief and one more thing,, how can I get a bowl movement?

Firstly yep it's normal as in the first week I lost 14lbs then it took 3 weeks before I lost any more that was for my body to catch up ..& I came on here and asked the same questions as you in regards to a bowl movement as long as you are not constipated you will be okay because at this stage you are barely eating (drinking) enough to keep you going so if your not constipated don't fret ... If you are constipated trying adding fibre supplements to your diet like the benefibre powder which can be added to food & also there is a tea called alpine tea which has natural laxative properties which might help

I didn't have a bowel movement for a few days and then I had wicked diarrhea for the next five days. It was probably my fault because I took 5ml of milk of magnesia. It seems since surgery I spend a great amount of time thinking about what goes and how it's going to come out.

Omg I'm so happy to read this thread! I'm 3 weeks out all this past week after losing 17 lbs nothing happened NO LOSE in spite of walking daily over 4 miles and following completely my diet plan! :-( I was feeling very down till I read this!

Same here was sleeved 8-25. I now only weigh once a week. I weigh on my Wii fit so it makes it just a tiny bit more inconvenient.

I have found that better because I was not losing fast enough for me either. Some people lose really fast but it may have something to do with how much people have to lose. I had lost just over 60 pounds since May31st so all my Water weight was gone already. I am doing what I am supposed to as far as Protein and walking so I am doing my part now the scale needs to do its part! I was hoping to get the 30 pound weight loss the first mint like some others, but we are all different with different pasts so I will have to take it as it comes. I try not to compare myself to others but it is very hard to do.

Thank you!!!!! I am 3 weeks post op and feeling really down about this. I knew to expect stalls just didn't know they happened this soon! Thank you for your encouragement. Going to go put my scale away now!

Anyway feel better that this is the norm,
