5 week post-op

im 5 weeks post-op today and have only lost 17lbs. I was down 15 lbs at 2 weeks post-op, at 2.5 weeks i had to get IV fluids which made me gain 5 lbs. i keep looking at everyones weightloss that had surgery after me and most have lost way more than me. :( Im tracking my protein, carbs and calories trying to keep it around 500-600 cals, 60 protein and under 30 carbs. i know I'm a slow loser but to see my scale only move .4 in a week and I hardly eat anything just makes me want to cry.

Im having problems when i first get to work, the past 3 days i damn near past out while dealing cards and have to go sit down for a 10 mins and then im fine. not sure whats causing this my mom thinks low blood suger. TMI- Im also having problems with BMs Im lucky to go once a week and then its not much that comes out. Ive tryed maralax doesnt help, 4 days of exlax in a row never went.

Gastric Sleeve Patients

Hello,

I was sleeved on Oct 6th. I will be 6 weeks out tomorrow. I started at 247lbs pre op. Lost 18lbs pre op so I started at 229lbs.

I am now at 210lbs so in 6 weeks I have lost 19lbs. Just over 3lbs a week. Total weight loss is 37lbs. I have slowed my weight loss per week so I have to start exercising more. I will get to a healthy weight.

Don't be discouraged. Some of the people who have had the sleeve are really lossing fast, me well I'm going like a turtle.

Keep the faith.
