Oh, I know how you feel because I am going through the same thing!!! I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and my weight loss has stopped! I have lost 24 lbs, but most of that was in the first week! I'm guessing that it's because our bodies have to get used to the weight loss and the shock that it has gone through, but it is scary!!!! I have to say that it is nice to know that someone else is going through the same thing! I was starting to think that maybe the 20 lbs was it. that I was going to be the person that didn't lose anything too!!!

Oh, I know exactly what you mean! I was craving mustard, hot dogs and chipotle!lol The cravings have gone away now (I'm almost 4 weeks out), but I still miss the thought of eating large volumes of food. The first time I got to eat soft foods and filled up after a few bites, I nearly cried. The food tasted soooo good in my mouth and then it was over! I knew that t was going to be like that (getting full so quickly), but I didn't think that it would hit me so hard! I have to say that it is getting a bit easier, but it's hard.

Hi, Pamela! I had my surgery done July 13th and went back to work July 23rd. and Honestly, I could have went back sooner than that! I was off of my pain meds with in 5 days and felt normal a few days after. Everyone is different, but my healing was really quick. The only issue that I had was feeling a little faint sometimes, but I quickly realized it was because I went a little long with out my Protein.

Good Luck!!!

Okay, so I had my sleeve done July 13th. It's been nearly a month and I love lost 24 pounds, which I am very excited about. However, my iss is that of the 24lbs, 21 of it was lost in the first week. Now....one pound a week. I figured at first that it was probably because it was sooo mcuh weight loss so quick, so my body needed to calm down and then I would start losing again. But, it's been weeks and only losing a pound here and there is really frustrating!!!! I suppose it wouldn't be so bad, but when you are barely eating and still not losing weight...it's upsetting!

Is this normal?! Did everyone else go through this? I'm getting 60 grams of Protein in, I'm drinking at least 64oz of fluids...help!!!!!

Thanks,

Merry
