Give yourself a chance. Most people don't weigh themselves the first week because of stuff like weigh gain while being in the hospital hooked up to an IV. I would just relax. Don't stress yourself out and wait another week or so before looking at the scale.< /p>

4 pounds in 6 days omg I would love to do that. Give it a chance and dont get discourged that is why we are all the way that we are because we would get discourged with ourselves and give up. Hang in there you will be just fine.

Valerie!!!!!!!! Do you have any idea how bloated surgery makes you??? The IV fluids alone are enough to put on 10lbs! CHILL OUT!!! Oh - and by the way.... about this time next week, I'll expect this same reply from you... Glad you are doing well!

I agree with everyone on here. DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF for at least a week.... was a huge rule from my doctor. I didn't listen and I was just where you are. Now, I weigh myself every week (thanks to my husband who hid the scale per my request) and I love seeing the numbers drop. Also, if it only goes down a pound or two, it's still lower and I'm happy!!!! Give yourself time. Good luck and congrats.

      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.
