No weight lost

[nonnilynn 43]

I had Sleeve surgery one week ago yesterday. I have followed all the rules and have had low calorie choices for my daily intake

So far, t have not lost an ounce since my hospital discharge and yes, i have been very mobile and exercising as bestbI can for one week out

I took a brisk 45 minute walk 2 days ago and even that did not help

Am I weird?

You are only one week out. Give your body time to adjust. Every one's body reacts differently to the surgery. Some people (like me) actually gained weight because of the fluids given in the hospital and swelling inside recovering from surgery.

Just keep doing what you are supposed to and it will start coming off.

Exactly. I had some complications so my supposed to be 3 day hospital stay turned into almost a week. I was so pumped full of fluids I came home weighing probably 5lbs more than I did on the day of my surgery. At this stage don't even bother looking at calories. Protein & Water goals should be your only concern. If those aren't being hit that can cause a slow down in loss.

Don't get discouraged but more importantly don't overdue it exercising. Last thing you want to do is hurt yourself forcing you back into the hospital. Things will kick in soon enough. Just be patient with it.

I lost the least amount of weight the first week after surgery. It went much better from there.

I lost 13lbs and now I'm stuck for 4 days. I know I'm in a stall right now but it's annoying. I go to the dr tomorrow for my 1 month follow up.

It's not just about being active. It's a mixture of calorie restriction and activity. However, you just had surgery so I wouldn't worry about it. When you lose weight it's not going to be consistent. It's going to be like walking down the stairs slowly. You will "pause" on steps before moving down again. We call those pauses "stalls".
