Hi,

I was sleeved July 13, so I am 12 days out. The first 10 days I lost 18 1/2 lbs. It just fell off. Now since Saturday not only have I not lost any, I have gained a pound! How is that possible? I did graduate from clear to full liquids, but really the only change is I have a bowl of real Soup (like chicken soup from chick-fil-a) and eat that broth. I have read about stalls, is this what I am having? Really what more coud I do right? I can't really exercise yet, although I am walking. Do I just need to be patient? Cathi

Yes be patient. I was sleeved on the 8th and I haven't lost in a week and a half. Continue to follow your doctors guidelines and you will be losing again soon. We both have to be patient while our bodies adjust.

Hi Ashley,

Thank you so much for responding. How are you feeling now? Over-all I feel good. My biggest issue is I am not able to take pills yet without crushing them and I use to live on tylenol. So my body just aches. I do take liquid tylenol at night to help with restless legs. Other then that everything seems to be going well. Cathi

This is me exactly! I was sleeved 7/11 and lost 15lbs and now the scale hasn't moved since Thurs. My Doc said don't be surprised if I hit a stall because our bodies are rebuilding muscle and as we all know..muscle weighs more than fat! I'm on mushies too and have been doing power walks, I guess I just expected the scale to keep plummeting! But, I know I'm losing inches and that I just have to be patient. Hard though when you're eating less than 900 calories a day, drinking lots of Water and exercising!

I feel great and am walking at least 1 mile every day. My doctor told me I can start eating just about whatever is comfortable. I am limiting my carbs to a few beans every now and then and 10oz of apple juice each morning. I also have to have prevacid and miralax every day
