One week post op and no weight loss

[Frenchie1977 262]

I am exactly one week post op, I started losing about a pound a day then I starting gaining a pound a day and now I am right back to my pre-surgery weight. I'm so frustrated. I have no problems getting in all my liquids and Protein, I track my calories and gett anywhere from 600- 900 calories a day. I'm on full liquids, I have not cheated, but I also have no restriction, I can easily finish the whole container of yogurt when I eat. Any advice

You're probably just still really swollen. Give it some time I'm sure it'll start to come off! Best of luck!

stay off the scale right now. your body is trying to heal - let it heal. I didn't lose anything the first two weeks. you were pumped full of iv fluids in the hospital and you just had major surgery - let your body focus on what it needs to. the weight loss will come.

also, on full liquids - you are not going to trigger restriction. you'll feel the restriction once you move onto dense Proteins. Some people have issues getting their liquids in initially but that is due to swelling not the true restriction of the sleeve. It is important early out to measure the amount of liquids/food recommended by your practice and stick to that. (non caloric liquids being the exception - consume as much of that as you possibly can).

900 calories seems like an awful lot that early out. I wasn't really tracking calories while on full liquids but I was definitely below 600 calories a day. Even now at 6 months out i'm at 700-800 calories a day.

Remember coming right of surgery u r bloated. Because of all the medication in the IV so give it a few more days and you'll be seeing the results

Wow thats a lot of food for one week out. Im still at 2 - 3 ounces per meal. Any more than that makes me feel aweful. Measure everything and put your utensil down between bites and enjoy. I found I eat less doing this but have to remind myself "put the spoon down" lol

I was sleeved on December 6th and haven't lost any weight since then. I am still on liquids, and I feel so disappointed

Me too. Sleeved 11/28. Lost about 15 pounds the first week and then stopped. No loss over the past week. Discouraging...

Practically everyone has a stall in the third week. Your body is just catching up to all of the changes. Just stick to your plan, and the scale will begin to move again soon.

Good luck!

It has just been a week since your surgery. Your body has been through a huge trauma, and is trying to recover. Also the fluids and gas they pumped into you during the surgery take time to exit your body; in fact, most people gain a little during the surgery process itself.

Just stick to your plan and the scale will start to move soon. I would stay off of the scale for the time being if it is going to upset or discourage you.

Good luck!

It's all those fluids they pumped you full of. Keep drinking and flush those out and the scale will move...in the right direction. I promise!! I was so puffy that first week!
