I feel like I am doing something wrong!! I was sleeved on Feb 14 and the scale has slowed down to a very slow crawl!! I even gained 1/2 pound at one point. I know I should be happy with the 25 pounds I have lost (includes pre-op diet) but I just feel like I should be losing more than I am. Is this normal??? Will it get better once I start the "mushy' food stage?

Hello, I was sleeved before you, I have "only" lost 22 lbs, but seriously, do you really want to lose all your weight altogether? The slower the better, your skin has time to adjust and you won't have it hanging around so much...

Do you weigh yourself ever single day? I used to do the same, then my hubby decided to hide the scale and take it out only on the weekend. Flucutations are normal, it can be the fact that you are (probably) not going much to the bathroom, or who knows whatever! Your body is adjusting to all the news (as is mine) so don't worry too much! And 25 lbs are already a lot. Give yourself time!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! I should be thankful that I am finally on my journey and I don't have to lose all the weight in a month! I need to change my way of thinking -- the scale is going down and not up - thats a good thing!!!

Its so funny because my husband hid the scale from me!! He says I am being a little obsessive - which I agree!! I am going to weight only 1x per week. Thanks for encouragement!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
