Today is exactly 1 month I got my surgery. Im feeling better after a few complications I had. Im finally starting to feel like I have more energy and Im ill be back to work tuesday. And doc said I can start soft foods tuesday also. So far all together I have gone from 234 lbs to 198lbs and hopefully once I start the gym there will be more weight loss. Congrats also to all my fellow June 28th sleevers. And thank you all for the help this last month. Ill be around still just wanted to say Thanks.

Congratulations!!! That's amazing. It was one month ago today that I was under the knife literally! it was scheduled for about 930 but my surgeon was running a little behind so we began closer to 1030. I did not lose any weight pre op (purposely). My pre op/surgery weight was 253 current weight 233.4 I'm hoping to be in the 220's by week 6.

I will be starting back at the gym so hopefully that will help move things along. Again congratulations! Oh that's right I start soft foods today!

Candygurl Hi! Congrats on your new journey. Just curious... Why did you choose to purposely not lose any weight pre-op?

I chose a surgeon that did not require me to do a pre-op diet as for me this was psychologically a big no having done diets all my life there was no way I could face yet another. Luckily I found a surgeon who was fine with that and I had no issues during or after surgery.

Hi,

I was also sleeved on June 28th. I am currently on soft foods. I eat 1/2 cup of food 4 times per day. I am only eating what is permitted, (Cottage cheese, yogurt , Soup, mashed veggies, scrambled egg and low fat soft cheese) . From Pre op to 9 days ago I lost 31 pounds. In the last nine days, 1 pound. I am walking more and more and not loosing anything. Has anyone hit a similar "stall"? Any suggestions???

I eat a bit less food and replace it with Protein drinks instead.

Me! The "three week stall". My scale didn't move for 7 days! Extremely frustrating. My doctor said its normal! He every cleared me to go to the gym at my 1 month appointment. Follow my journey at jenvsg.blogspot.com

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. We all experience stalls and just about everyone a stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program, focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements as directed, and exercise when cleared.

Yes, I too plateaued for about a week. I was sleeved on 11th July & over the next 2 weeks I lost 17.5 lbs. The third week I lost nothing. Just today I weighed myself & thankfully found that I had lost 2 more pounds. My surgeon told me that people with a high BMI tend to plateau on weeks 5 & 6. My BMI was 34.5 on the day of my surgery (which wasn't that high) so I plateaued on weeks 3 & 4 instead. He encouraged me to start hitting the gym, but I'm still light-headed because my caloric intake is so low, so I cannot exercise at the moment to help shed the weight off. Good luck with ur weight loss. It's bound to come off eventually

Congats to all of you!!

One month out, about how many calories are you getting in each day? Are you able to meet your Protein targets easily?

I'm taking in about 700 -800 calories a day. My activity level is still quite low too because I fatigue easily. Right now I get my Protein from chicken noodle Soup blended with some chicken, egg white (I ate it twice & gave me a tummy upset all day so I stopped eating it) and light cheese. I do not live in the United States so I don't have the Protein shakes u do. This week I'm supposed to start on a larger variety of food so hopefully my protein sources will be more

I'm also at a stall. I was sleeved June 28 th. I am able to eat soft foods. I was instructed to eat Protein first then I can have some cooked vegetables. I am so trying to get over this stall I work out 6 days a week. Any help to get me out of this is greatly appreciated

I was sleeved on 7/6 and have plateaued for the past 12 days. I'm eating right (incl 60-70 g protein/day) and riding a bike and/or walking at least 30-45 minutes/day (avg 150 - 400 cals burned) but haven't went beyond the 21 lbs I lost those first 2+ weeks post surgery. I'm not worried though since my BMR is 2200 cals/day and I'm only consuming about 50-60% of that a day - my body is just continuing to adjust and adapt to the new intake.

The one area I'm going to take steps to improve is my salt/sodium intake - since I'm now eating beef, chicken, chunky Soups, etc again, I need to more closely watch the sodium. Other than that, I'm just sticking to the plan, continuing to exercise (probably start adding some aerobic - but no ab or core work yet!), and let my metabolism do the rest.

Whatever you do, do NOT deprive yourself of calories and put your body into starvation mode - keep reminding yourself you have to eat to lose ... but eat *right*.

We all plateau - use it as an opportunity to prep and plan for your next weight loss period. Good luck!
