Surgery was 4/23/13. I've hit the 2-3 week stall also. I have lost 13 pounds, but the scale isn't budging. I eat just under under 600 calories daily, 60-80 grams of Protein and about 45-50oz of Fluid. Fluid intake has been the hardest for me since the start. I'm walking a 1/2 mile each day. We just have to trust it will come off if we follow the plan.

I had my surgery May 7th. The day of surgery I weighed 219. I came home from the hospital weighing 228. By the end of the first week I was back at 219 so I lost nothing but the hospital Water week one (I was soooo pissed). Week two I went from 219 to 208. So I lost 11 pounds in one week. I am in my third week and have only lost a pound so far. Total lost since surgery is 12 pounds. I am praying I dont reach a stall but it seems inevitable. I have a HARD time drinking all of the liquids and I get 350 to 450 calories per day. I just strated back walking (slowly). I think not weiging your self every day really helps (sooo hard not to though).

I was sleeved on 4/24 and I have lost 25 pounds so far. My weight fluctuates between 278-275 everyday. I'm am so depressed and now recently I'm so nauseated to the point of where I don't want to eat. I work at night and sleep all day so I don't get my liquids and Protein in. I just took a zofran abt an hour ago and I'm still nauseated. I'm not sure what to eat. Besides fish. I'm tired of that. I'm tired of this stall that I've been on and idk what to do abt it. I'm regretting my sleeve bad now...

I was sleeved the day after you. 4/23 I am having the same issues. Don't want to eat and nausea. I need some recipe help. I am tired of not eating or being afraid to eat.

I am so glad to see that you all posted this! I am three weeks out from my surgery - and between the two weeks prior to surgery diet and post surgery, I had lost 28 pounds - it was FLYING off, but this week I've barely lost 0.8!! I was starting to think that something was wrong with me! I'm drinking the Water like crazy, sticking to the suggested foods list, and exercising as much as I can, but the scale wasn't moving. I was starting to freak out - thank you SOOOOOO much for your posts! Light at the end of the tunnel :)

I could have written this! same pre-op weight to amount of weight lost in the first 2 weeks, low calorie count and struggling with Water. Surgery was 4/23

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
