sadams70 18 Posted May 4, 2016 Hello, I had the sleeve 15 days ago and have lost 18 pounds. I think I'm doing everything as direcited. I'm pretty tired and have not lost anything for 2 days.

FrankyG 1,450 Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) You're hitting your first stall - totally normal and will happen many more times over the next months/year. I'm still shocked at how no doctor tells folks about this.

As to being tired, you just had major surgery and are still healing. Focus on getting in your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins, and be gentle with yourself. You are allowed to rest!

JamieLogical 8,719 Posted May 4, 2016 For me the fatigue lasted until I was cleared for solid foods and could get my calories up. As for the stall, that's perfectly normal and could last as little as a few days or as much as a few weeks. You shouldn't be worrying about weight loss right now. You should be focusing on healing, getting your Protein, Water, and Vitamins in, and getting up and moving around a little every hour or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recycled 2,182 Posted May 4, 2016 There are two things you're gonna need to remember and be very cognoscente of during your weight loss journey. 1. You will encounter "Stalls" (several) - periods of time where no matter what you do, you are unable to lose another ounce. (could be a couple of days or a couple of weeks) 2. Firmly remind yourself constantly of the weight you have already lost, what you have gone thru and the effort it took to lose it, and as long as you continue that effort, you WILL resume losing weight. That's it.......that's how you deal with stalls. Everybody gets them and if you follow this mantra, you will get past them everytime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any advice out there? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App sleep, drink as much as you can, and stay off the scale. Measure your loss by how your pants fit. Take pictures of yourself in a doorway wearing the exact same outfit so you can get a good perspective on how you look. Side, front, back. I suggest leggings and a tank top. That's far more important than the number on the scale.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nene91 3 Posted May 4, 2016 Im 16 days out. I have no energy as well. I measure myself on Sundays and weigh myself on Mondays. I probably will space it out to not get myself upset if i do stall. Down 30 lbs but cant tolerate much puréed foods. Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
