Hi guys, I'm 11 days post surgery and my weight hasn't moved in 4 days... Is that normal? I'm still on liquids for another 3-4 days)though I feel I'm ready for puree stage) and I'm hitting my protein goals. My NUT is happy with my diet of optifast, runny yoghurt, and protein water. I'm also walking 7k to 10k per day (I averaged 1500 steps before surgery so I've increased my activity post surgery). According to the scale my weight and body fat % has not moved in 4 days now... It's hard not to get discouraged. Any tips or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yay! I am doing well, not so sore now but I notice the last 3 days I am not losing weight... I am able to drink a lot more than last week so I am assuming that y body is just rehydrating. My clothes are feeling a little looser so that gives me confidence

Well done! I am just starting, I was sleeved 10 days ago so currently reading all I can on what to expect for the first 3 months.

How's the progress Shermand?

Just jumping in on the thread - I am a 36yo gay male from Australia. My surgery was on October 31st and I am looking to loose around 150lbs.

Hello, anyone else here sleeved on October 31?

Hi Rei, how is your progress now? I am almost at the 2 week mark now (which is where you were when you posted this) so I'd love to know what your progress is now.

I got really sick of them too, but then I got a Nutribullet and started blending them with a lot of ice (and water) to make it more like a slushi - It doesnt change the flavour but it made it a little more interesting.

I'd certainly check it out - I am always on the hunt for new podcasts to listen to while walking

That's great advice, thanks!

Good for you @Kiwijet! I was at a very similar starting weight (sleeved 9 days ago) so I am hoping to achieve similar success.

I barely know my surgeon, I had a phone call with him before surgery but didnt meet him until 24hrs after the operation. I can't say I love him, but I love what he did :-) I don't think liking or loving your surgeon is important, I think that what IS important is that mutual respect is shown. If you research well and you're comfortable with who you have chosen then that's enough (for me).

Thanks @defibvt ! Well done on your 89lb loss, amazing effort!

Amazing, well done!

Jerr_Bear your comment is even funnier when I saw your signature!

I must learn these tricks you speak of!

My highest weight was 401, so I just qualify for this thread! I am 2+ days post sleeve and so far no complications. The first 48hrs were ROUGH but then suddenly the clouds parted and I feel great!

Loose skin is a concern of mine too, but it's certainly a better option than continuing to live life at 400lbs. I plan to get in to lifting as soon as I am able (I believe 10 weeks after surgery...?) Hopefully that will help!

I am 36yo and gay - I was sleeved 2 days ago. Looking forward to getting down to a healthier weight!
