I would have loved to be your size lol..i highly doubt it, i think you going through surgery can be dangerous and risky...thats why there is a requirement.

Well i am now loosing an average of 1-1.5 lbs a week so that makes me happy

Thank goodness I had read about the stall before I actually got to it because I too would be freaking out now. I started my pre-op diet at the end of July until my surgery on August 17th, I had lost 16 lbs. Since surgery I have lost exactly 20 lbs, but I have been stuck at 20 down for almost a week now and what do you know, I just passed the 3 week mark. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it is going to pass soon and will keep pushing forward.

Thank you..my husband wants to throw it away..and i think i will, i dont want to get discouraged..
I appreciate your words

Thank you!!

I had surgery on Aug. 19th but then had complications and was sent back to the hospital for emergency surgery again on Aug. 24th. I came home with more weight on me than before I was admitted to the hospital. Like svasquez said, your body is catching up to the trauma. I'm the kind of person to get on the scale at least twice a day. I get discouraged everytime I don't see a pound being lost. It will come, don't worry. I got depressed and everyone that had surgery that I have become friends with on here is going through the same thing. I'm sick of broth, broth, broth.

I had mine on August 27, I too have only lost 15lbs. I mean I wish it was 30 but I know I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing, so at this point, if I stay a fatty.... I've really truly tried everything in my power not to be. Hey look at whales they swim all day and eat fish, yet they're still big fat whales!!! Maybe we're just mermaids!!!!!!????????

Haha maybe! Thank you! It feels good to know that others are going through the same thing too at least i hope it's a normal

Hello..i am 20 days post op and i feel so worried and stressed. I have only lost about 15lbs since the pre op diet wich was 3 days along with post op diet. I dont know why i am stuck on the weight..should'nt the first weeks be when you loose the most? Ive failed at loosing weight all my life that i am scared to death ill fail at this too..i need a friend who's had surgery around august 20..can anyone relate? Am i going nuts?
Everything i read says that the first month is when you loose a whole bunch..and my scale just wont go down..this is so deppressing

Thank you..my husband wants to throw it away..and i think i will, i dont want to get discouraged..
I appreciate your words

Don't be depressed. What you are experiencing is very common. You are recovering from major surgery which included lots of IV fluids and swelling. Plus, almost everyone experiences a stall about week three as your body catches up to the trauma.
As long as you focus on following your post-op instructions, reaching your Protein target, and staying hydrated, you will be fine. If the number on the scale is going to depress you, then stay off the scale.< /p>

Here is a recent one for me. Starting weight 278.4, after picture weight 128. What an amazing journey it's been. I'm coming up on 2 years post op this week. I have more pics in my blog (linked in my signature) if you're interested.

Hello! I am almost 10 days post op and i am very confused..i see that most of you have to stay on liquids until day 14 or more, i had surgery done in mexico and my dr's regimen is eating on day 8 so i have been..ex.. an egg white, a little tuna, cottage cheese etc. Therefore i am terribly confused!! I guess all doctors are different but im scared ive damaged my sleeve i feel perfectly fine, i still dont feel that restriction i should feel so at times i stay super hungry..anyone can relate? I need help :/

Even the first days though? That sounds almost impossible
