apeek 9 Posted July 20, 2018 I had my sleeve on 7/21/2018 and I started losing a pound in a half a day. I was 350lbs pre surgery and I have STOPPED losing weight and I am stuck at 313lbs. I weight myself every morning and noticed this morning I was actually 316lbs. This is super discouraging and so I wonder that is happening. What should I be doing differently? I recently started walking and swimming on a daily basis. Trying to walk always 30 minutes of some exercise a day. Nothing seems to work. I feel like these last 16lbs are taunting me! Some help ease my mind :-) 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odds are you are gaining some muscle mass / retaining some Water. I assume you aren't tracking your body fat %. Because it's very possible you've gained "weight" but lost fat. There have been a LOT of times when this has happened to me, I'll gain a pound or so but lose a few tenths of a % of body fat. If you are hitting your intake goals and consuming less calories than you burn in a day... then I wouldn't worry too much about it. 1 apeek reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted July 20, 2018 If there is much salt in your brother that might make you retain Fluid. But keep on with your activities and I'm sure it will smooth out.😛 1 apeek reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted July 20, 2018 I meant broth, not salty brother although that could be something desirable,like salted caramel? At any rate I should smooth out if you don't stress, Relax and Go With The Flow in Life! 1 apeek reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Numbheart 108 Posted July 26, 2018 Keep on grinding, you're becoming a muscle. Your fats fluctuate, and your muscle grows that's why you don't lose weight. It is not about the weight, it is about your body content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarinaGirl 609 Posted July 26, 2018 What are your calories like per day? Are you tracking what you’re eating with an app like MyFitnessPal? I like this quote, “Weight loss happens in the kitchen, not the gym.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tankman77 0 Posted July 26, 2018 Thanks for quick reply that's what I was thinking HBP pills usually a diuretic which could explain the weight gain...I started to take half a pilly was getting light headed on full pill! thanks, Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
