I had surgery on July 16th and lost well the first two weeks, then I haven't lost anything in the last two and a half weeks. I have read that people have a stall at about three weeks, but do they last this long? I am trying to get more liquids in, but my rings are tight every morning, so I know I am retaining water. Also having trouble getting more than about 40 grams of protein in a day. I am thinking of trying more meat because I am really sick of my protein drinks and they only have 12 grams of protein anyway. Should a stall be this long when I just had surgery a month ago?

New And Not Feeling Well
· Ruthsdaughter3 · 07/24/12 03:53 AM
I just got the surgery in Mexico by Dr. Garcia on July 16, 2012. I have been adhereing to the liquid diet but I gained 27 pounds the first week. I started peeing a lot yesterday and lost 15 pounds and lost 15 pounds again today. I just don't feel well. I am walking around and even did a couple hours of gardening (light) yesterday, but I feel almost like I have the flu. I want to eat too, which is not what I am supposed to be doing right now and even drinking tea is kind of difficult. One drink goes down pretty well and the next is all bubbly and I don't have a sense of how I am supposed to drink, let alone get all of the liquid ounces in. I wish I could just take a hot bath. Does anyone know how long before you can bathe? I live in the Pacific Northwest and hope to find some support group here to meet with once in a while until I feel I understand how this is going to be to live with. I hope I didn't make a mistake. I had the lap band from 2001- 2005 when it slipped and I had to have emergency surgery to remove it. I was pretty scared to try another wls, but once I gained all of my weight back and tried for seven years to lose it, I decided on the sleeve. Any words of wisdom, support or encouragement would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
