  1. Hey guys, I was sleeved on 5/16, and I lost 10 lbs in the first 10 days, and since I started purees I have stopped losing weight and actually have gained 3 lbs. I know they say you can stall at week 2 or 3, but this is so beyond frustrating.
    How in the world have I GAINED weight? I haven't eaten more than 800 calories in a day.
    I know I just need to keep at it, it is just so upsetting that I went through all of this and I'm not getting any results. (Not losing inches either, I checked).

    I could've written this post because the EXACT same thing is happening to me. I was sleeved 5/16. I gained three pounds one week and I have no reason why. I lost those three pounds after a week. However I've only lost 1 pound since surgery. I feel your frustration.



  2. I was cleared for anything 3 weeks after surgery. I started Water aerobics, walking, weight training, and zumba then. I didn't start running until much later. I was about 9 months out. A 72 year old lady in my zumba class ran a marathon. She had bariatric surgery 8 years ago. I decided that in 2016 I would run a half marathon. The first one I found was in November of 2016. I signed up and then started the couch to 5K app. I hated it at first. But, I had told everyone that I was going to run a half so I kept at it. About 5 months in, I actually started to enjoy it. I saw a half marathon that was offered in September for $1 so I signed up. I upped my training a bit and was able to run it. I was slow: 2:41:52. I did better on my 2nd one in November: 2:27:34. I will run my 3rd half marathon in 2 weeks. My husband and I try to run some sort of race every month. We do anywhere from a 5K to a half marathon. I eventually want to train for a marathon.

    Good luck! That's so awesome! Thanks for the insight and inspiration!
