sher0929 17 Posted May 6, 2019 I am on day 10 post op and I am not losing any weight at all. I don't get it! I was sleeved Friday April 26th. The following Tuesday April 30th I was 7 pounds down from the day of surgery. I have weighed the SAME EXACT THING since then! I am following the diet to a T, sometimes not even hitting my calorie goal, averaging a little less than 500 calories per day 60 grams of Protein, and the scale isn't budging. What gives? How can someone eat so little and not lose even .1 of a pound? Tomorrow it will be one week of zero weight loss. I'm beyond discouraged right now. Anyone else experience anything similar? Do I just need to give it time? I could cry! :( 2 Orchids&Dragons and *Meaghan* reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted May 7, 2019 It will be ok. You're still very swollen and maybe retaining fluids because of that. All of a sudden you'll probably experience a huge whoosh! I know being patient is hard. We all want to see that scale move. Some doctors advise against weighing at all for the first month because it can be so discouraging. Keep your chin up, you'll get there! 4 MrsGamgee, sher0929, ProudGrammy and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sher0929 17 Posted May 7, 2019 Thank you! Hearing encouraging words definitely helps! I know I'm being impatient. Might have to kick the scale to the curb for a few weeks and stop stressing over it. So hard to do though! lol 1 1 Orchids&Dragons and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
