Look up the "three week stall." It is so common that it has a name.
This stall happens to the majority of newly sleeved people sometime between the second and fourth postoperative weeks. It appears your stall came one week early. So did mine.
Also...stay off the scale for a few weeks. These frequent weigh-ins will only create more anxiety. You did not become obese overnight and will not lose it overnight, either.
Only a small minority of people lose at the rate of 1 pound per day. For the rest, the weight comes off in a nonlinear, unpredictable pattern. For instance, I lost at the rate of about 3 to 6 pounds per month, but still attained my goal.
I also agree with previous respondents to lay off the exercise for the next few weeks since you are not consuming enough calories to fuel your activities properly. You'll potentially throw your body into starvation mode.

My Dr said the first 6 weeks post-op are for healing not losing weight.

I'm so hungry and I was worried! So it is good to know you felt hungry also. Did you have trouble staying awake after surgery?

I'm glad we aren't alone! Sometimes the hardest part is making meals for everyone else and being mindful not to take a bite or anything.

Hi. I had my surgery on the 10th. Now 8 days out, I'm feeling better and better. Had a lot of nausea the day after and no one likes to feel that...however, I walked as much as I could and kept reminding myself "this will pass." And it does! I wasn't too sore just took it slow. Walk, sip Water, rest repeat. It's amazing how much better you feel each day. Best of luck to you and take it slow and steady.

Congrats! God has you! [emoji1488]

I'm scheduled for the 26th. Feeling a bit nervous. Excited but scared! Lol. Good look everyone!
