2 plus weeks post op, zero weight loss



Recommended Posts

I'm between 2-3 weeks post op and literally have not lost anything since surgery. I weigh exactly the same as I did the day of surgery. Granted I lost all the surgical fluids and IV fluids that were pumped into me the two days in the hospital. Those fluids came off within days though. The three people that were sleeved the same day as I was have all lost between 11 and 24 pounds. They did have substantially higher BMI's than I did however, I'm the only one of the 4 of us that walks daily and I follow the program diligently. Is this common, the no loss part? On a lighter not, at least I won't have to worry about the dreaded 3 week stall. Protein intake? I aim for 90 per day with ease. I have regular bowel movements, drink minimum of 70 ounces of fluids 75% is Water. 50% of that is with lemon. sleep well and feel no different now than I did pre op. I feel great. Your thoughts?

I’m two weeks out and lost 21 pounds but now I’m at a stall. I suggest talking to your Nutrionist and/or doctor. They may have do something different. Are you exercising?

Stay the course. ((hugs)) I struggle with loss while on all Protein Drinks. I build up Fluid cuz they can be insulinogenic. I don't think I will really start losing until I'm able to get my insulin back down again while eating real food. That may take 3-5 weeks after surgery.

You might want to talk with your nutritionist about how much Protein you should be taking in. Mine told me between 70 and 80 grams a day. She said if i have too much i could gain weight.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
