I am in exactly the same boat I was sleeved on 12/30/2015. I have gained back 15 lbs and I am so unhappy about it . I still log my foods and walk regularly

hubs and I are starting today. just planning on getting going on a bariatric type diet, some clean Proteins, low sugar, lots of Water, etc. Cutting the fruits, carbs etc. don't know how it will work out but it has to be something of a starting point. as we go along we'll see how we both do and tweak our needs. eating in a bariatric style is very comfortable to both of us because I've done it (surgery) and my husband did it by default. incidentally, he lost about 28 lbs during my pre and post op phases (over about 4 months) and really enjoyed the food.
So we'll be doing things like eggs for Breakfast, shakes for Snacks, lunch of small condensed Protein (he will eat more) and some good bari recipes for dinner. for both of us it will be the greatest challenge to control portions, and for ME the major challenge over the next few days will be eliminating pop. But I've don't that in my life several times so i'm ok with it,.

My daughter was just going thru her phone and came across some photos that were taken on the day of my surgery on October 27, 2014. So I put it together with a pic that was taken last week on vacation.
Whoa!! You really see the hard work when you see a side by side comparison in photos. LOL
I'm working hard to hit the 100lb loss mark by my 6 month surgiversary!! Wish me luck!!
P.S. I finally got a pic to post the correct way, not sure what I did different though. LOL HAHAHA

The chocolate Peanut Butter is great .

I am one month out and I lost 21 lbs so far . My surgery was 12/30 and i couldn't be happier I have never lost so much weight in a month . I wouldn't worry if I were you everyone is different .

I am 4 weeks out and have lost 18 pounds; on track with what my Dr. wants by my 6 week Visit. I wish it were more but am happy it is going down, not up.

I have been having the same issue the scale just hasn't been moving . I was sleeved on 12/30 I have lost 16 lbs and I am following the plan to a tee . I hope I start losing soon .????

well said babs, well said.
im there as well i was upset , i am 35 days post surgery and I was a bit upset that im only down 37 pounds. then i realized thats over a pound a day!, so now im switching from daily scale reading to weekly scale reading. no reason for us to beat ourselves up anymore than we already have.

When was the last time you lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks? Do me a favor and just STAY OFF THE scale for a while and concentrate on your Protein and liquids and getting healed up. You are also in the 3 week stall period of time. Your body has to adjust to the fast weight loss and take a little break. Stay the course, stay off the scale, and continue to heal. You're doing just fine

Use the search engine here or even just Google "three week stall" -- you'll see, what you are going through is almost universal. Virtually everyone pauses in their weight loss somewhere around the third week out. You are right on track. Keep following your program and put the scale away for at least the next few weeks or it will make you crazy. Relax, you are normal!

Ditto, three week stall, it's your body adjusting to all the changes. Mine lasted 2 weeks, but haven't hit any since.

Ive had two stalls. Sleeved 11/11. First one lasted two weeks and the second about ten days. Down 37 pounds and four sizes. Follow the rules. You'll be fine.

I am so glad to see this.... I am down 22.5 pounds, two weeks and two days post op. I have stopped losing and have been terrified. Thank you for this post! I thought I was doing it all wrong!!! ????

Hello everybody i wanted to share my progress so far highest weight 265 preop 257 current 193 surgery date july 1st feeling awsome 72 lbs down!! and have a little more to go for my personal goal but this pic is from today in my first size12 jeans in 12 years!! Cant believe i! its so surreal all of you have been an inspiration. cant believe that im sharing my progress with you now so blessed! Next wedding dress here i come!!

Here's what I had sugar free Popsicles ( these were a life saver), sugar free Jello ,broth , Decaf tea and I loved the premier vanilla Protein Shakes from costco they went down the easiest . Hope this helps .

@@JennAlex Soup and more soup has been the easiest for me to digest. I tried a scrambled egg it just didn't sit well same thing with tuna . I stuck to broths , applesauce , yogurt , ricotta bake , Jello and sugar free pudding . it's definitely trial and error :]

I am feeling a little frustrated I have followed everything to a Tee and I haven't lost an ounce since 3 days after i came home from the hospital. I had surgery 13 days ago . Has anyone experienced this ? I am now on my last day of puree. I didn't expect a weight loss slow done so soon.

Thank you @@Sherry W what you wrote makes perfect sense . Thank god for this site it's so nice to have other people to talk to that are going through the sam thing as myself !

@@hootney1214 I'm 13 days out and I've not lost much either. It's very frustrating. I really want to add some exercise. I don't feel like walking is enough. I just keep telling myself that things will get better. Once we hit the six week mark and can do a variety of exercise (I like zumba and Water aerobics) and can eat other foods I.e. veggies and lean meats, the weight will fall off. We just have to get through the healing phase first.
