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".

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
