Hi all, I had my sleeve done on June 1st. I went into the hospital at 239 and came out two days later at 230 and have lost NOTHING since. I hover back and forth between 231 and 230. Stalling so soon after surgery I am really starting to worry it didn't work!! I am eating very little, mainly because I have had problems with diarrhea - so right now I am probably only getting 30 grams of Protein a day. HELP! Is this normal?? I am trying to get my fluids and protein in slowly, but right now my main concern is that I am consumming almost nothing and the scale isn't budging. Jen

That is so funny - my husband JUST threatened to hide the scale and I think I am going to have to let him. I can't resist. I can tell my clothes are fitting differently and I am obviously eating far less, I am just anxious. I am on the lower side I guess, given that I only have a little bit more than 100 to lose - so if the more you need to lose the faster you lose is true, that makes sense. Congrats on your loss!!

Hello! I was sleeved on June 1st - I had lost about 9 before the surgery (two weeks of shakes) and once I got home I was down to 17 pounds lossed. That seems like a REALLY big jump for in the hospital and then nothing since. I have been at the same weight for 5 days. I am new at this, but I am panicking it didn't work! How fast is the weight going to come off in the beginning? It seems like for some people 30 pounds in two weeks is normal but for others 30 pounds takes two months... Is staying the same weight for several days just after surgery normal??
