rian_ 7 Posted November 17, 2015 So I had my gastric sleeve done on 11/10 last week. It's been exactly one week so far as of today, and I've lost a total of 11 pounds. I weighed myself this morning and I didn't lose anything at all today. am I not getting enough Water? Should I be drinking more Protein Shakes? Shouldn't I be losing weight like crazy right now? I'm so upset I did somethings wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

byebyefat 262 Posted November 17, 2015 I only lost 17 pounds in 2 months but a lost is a lost, so I'm so grateful that I lost 17 pounds instead of gaining 17 pounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted November 17, 2015 If this is upsetting to you then you have some very unrealistic expectations, You are not guaranteed to see a loss on the scale every day. I would highly recommend that early in the process that you only weigh at doctor's appointments early in the process. At the very least, try not to weigh more than once a week if your mental state is dictated by the numbers on the scale.< /p> None of us lose at a constant rate, and in the first few weeks after surgery you are dealing with fluids from your IV, swelling, healing, dehydration, etc, etc. Focus on doing what you are supposed to do: get in all of your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements when and as instructed, and exercise when you are cleared (walk as much as you can in the first few weeks). And, stay off the scale. Stalling is a normal, natural, and necessary part of the weight loss process. One day of no change in the scale is not a stall, but you will experience a stall at about week three.
