Had Gastric Sleeve done on Dec. 18 , 2017, when I started this journey I was 211- 209 lbs. Day of Surgery 199 and post OP I am 189.4. I have been walking and biking over 1 hour a day. Taking weekends off. Following my nutrionist advice but having a hard time getting all the water in. I have stalled in any weight loss for nearly 1 week and a half. I'm feeling discouraged. I did get my period 4 days ago. I have been off insulin since the surgery date. My glucose levels are monitored 24/7 as I wear a monitor. I have been suffering with low blood sugar going into 40's and 50's a few times this week and last week almost 3 times a day. Need advice.

I feel the same at times. But we need to understand that our weight fluctuating is normal.

I gained 2 lbs and lost it. The feeling was very discouraging. But I was told by the surgeon that it was normal, and he also explained that my hormones could have played a role.

You should reach out to your doctor the swelling the first week was normal for me. day of surgery I was 199 the following day I weighed 212 lbs due to all the fluids via IV . Which took 2 days to come off. My stall I went up 2 lbs then dropped it. this week I lost 3 lbs. I have been exercising a lot. Walking a lot. On the bike at home one hour a day. I got B12 shot from my primary doctor today, and I have to go weekly now. Speak with your surgeon as soon as you can about the swelling.

Abefroman329 Even if you stall for a week it's okay. Our bodies are doing what it needs to do and at the pace it needs to do it. Something must be going right because your fat percentage is going down.

My stall is over. Lost 2.4 lbs since my last post. My surgeon wants me to stop weighing myself everyday. He only wants me to weigh in at the office. I did a 2 hour walk today. I meet with the nutrionist tomorrow. Persistence is the key. I like how organized some of you guys are. I need to step up my game and start writing things down again.

I know the feeling. Its frustrating but your doing what your supposed to do and your very organized and keeping track of everything. This will pass. At least according to my aunt who had a similar experience this is normal. Tomorrow I have a follow up with my Surgeon. Will post a update.

Half a pound is great. don't weigh yourself as soon a you wake up. give your body some time to wake up. I spoke to a relative who did the surgery 2 years ago. She explained that the body will go into starvation mode and that I should really try to get in all of the protien and water. She explained the stalls happen when in starvation mode. imagine 1/2 a pound a day or every couple days could easily loose 2 to 3 lbs in a week.

Well stepped on the scale this morning lost 1 pound. With exercise and hard work. Feeling a bit more optimistic.
