Questions

So, I am asking this for my brother. He was sleeved December 20, 2013 (after 10 years of begging him to have WLS)....I had the sleeve in 2010. Anyway, he is about 6 weeks out. He was down 65lbs and now is only down 58lbs after gaining the past three weeks in a row. He is SOOO discouraged. I was a previous band pt before revising to the sleeve. Only lost 30lbs with the sleeve, 110lbs total. BUT he is much heavier than I ever was and I just knew he would lose weight soooo fast. How can I make him believe that his body is just calibrating to the fact that he is on regular foods now? He is sticking to the program 100% so I know he isn't cheating. He is getting his water and protein. So I guess I'm asking, is this normal???? Any advise or encouragement would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

    Hi, I was sleeved the day before your brother in Oz. I too have had two separate weeks where I put weight on and initially was disconcerted and worried that it was'nt going to work for me. I haven't looked at the scales now for 2 weeks and whilst I would like to know what the number is my clothes and continually changing body shape tell me all I need to know. My surgeon assures me that it'll be at least 6 months before my body settles completely.
