I was sleeved on the 19th May. I have gained 3 pounds since my Op. I'm having no problems drinking and getting in my Protein and I am walking everyday. I lost 126 pounds myself, in the 12 months before the op, but still have a way to go as I'm still 340 pounds. Before the op I plateaued for a few months and was looking forward to continuing to lose weight post op. I'm starting to feel low, as I expected to have started to lose weight by now. I'm really impressed how other May sleevers have done, keep up the good work.

Hi all, I'm getting worried. I had my sleeve gastrectomy on the 19th May, and I have just gained 2 pounds. I understand that due to surgery there is swelling, with the gas and IV drips, but I haven't managed to have a bowel movement and I am wondering if something may be wrong. I would appreciate some help from those who have had similar. If this is normal, how long is the average before you start to lose weight? I am drinking plenty of liquids without any problem and strictly following the liquid diet given by the hospital.
