Sexy30inthemaking 4 Posted November 8, 2014 Hello WLS family I'm new here. I had my sleeve on 10/28 and my start weight was 294 after my pre-op I was 281 day of surgery. 5 days after surgery I was and still is 270. I'm only doing Water, Protein, (not the full 60) and broth. So why would I not be losing weight? Anyone have this problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forsythia 882 Posted November 8, 2014 Classic stall. We all stall. Sometimes stalls can last days, or weeks. Sometimes you will gain and lose the same 5 lbs for a couple weeks. And then when you think you are a big failure who cannot follow instructions, the weight starts to fall off again. Typically we all still a couple weeks after we get sleeved. I stall out every month, right around my period, and gain a bunch of Water. It sucks balls. But it is reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcanMakeit 1,318 Posted November 8, 2014 You just had major surgery. Your body is still recovering and adjusting. It is pretty normal to see little to no loss at first (some even gain Water weight). But as you heal, and start hitting your water and Protein goals, you will see some results. Hang in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kikicoates78 220 Posted November 8, 2014 Congrats on your 24 pounds!!! That is great! Ur body is still adjusting. It's kinda storing everything u eat right now because it thinks u are starving. It will all even out. I was 275, hit 265 day of surgery 10/23 and down to 249 today which is 2 weeks post op. That's 26 pounds in 3 weeks. That's what I keep telling myself. Even when I don't see movement. So be proud. 24 pounds is a lot and there will be a lot more! Keep ur chin up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

athena3127 199 Posted November 8, 2014 My cousin received her sleeve 3+years ago. She advised that stalls are normal. If she hit a stall or even noticed a gain she would revert back to clear liquid for a week them full liquid and walk through the step up to full food. It was a break in the normal and would kick her body back into the program. Just a thought that might help others. Best of loosing to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
