  1. Thank you all for the encouraging words! I will try upping my calories. My nutritionist said that they didn't want us to snack during the day, just 3 meals per day. But I can only get 1.5 to 2.5 oz of food in per meal. And I've noticed that I am getting hungry 2 hours later but I don't eat. I usually just drink a little bit of my protein shake. I try not to drink a full premier protein between meals because then I don't want to eat during meals time and I get even less food in. I'm starting see how tricky this balance is going to be lol. I will be email my nutritionist and see what she says about small snacks.
  2. Hello everyone! I'm new to this site. I had Gastric sleeve done on 12/28/2020. Today marks 4 weeks post op and I feel pretty good. My only concern right now is my first stall. I lost 17 lbs for the first week after surgery. Then I hit a stall. Which was fine my doctor warned me about it and he said it would last a little bit. So I expected 1 week to 2 weeks max. But today I hit the 3 week mark on this stall and my weight keeps fluctuating 3 lbs. I gain 3lbs and I lose 3 lbs. I'm very frustrated. I've gotten between 70 and 80 oz of water each day and protein is about the same. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Has anyone experienced this much time between stalls? I see my doctor on Wednesday. So I will definitely ask him if it's normal. I'm just curious if anyone else has gone through this?
