I'm 5 weeks post op. I lost the first 20 pounds in a week and a half and then nada! Got to see my doc last week and he was concerned. I had to ditch the cheese and get moving. Anyhow, has anyone ever felt like you will be the exception to the sleeve not working and were destined to be fat forever? Since Friday I've really planned my meals and ramping up my water. Keeping my calories at about 700 a day. please tell me there is more light coming soon!!!

It's certainly possible that you will be the one person to eat less than 800 calories a day and NOT lose weight... but I really doubt it!!! Stalls are normal - keep the faith!

Im 4 weeks out snd having the same thoughts. Down 12 pounds since surgery. Been at the same weight for a week. Im hardly getting in 500 calories a day. Cant eat more than that without getting sick. Ive had diarehea since friday. No

Matter what I eat or drink it sends me to the restroom.

has anyone ever felt like you will be the exception to the sleeve

Some people have "thought" they might be the exception to the rule, in other words not lose any weight. But it doesn't happen, that they don't lose weight

At this time you are eating around 700 calories a day - you are drinking more Water, sounds like everything you are doing is correct.

maybe you are not losing right now - that will change. things will get better, sooner than later

best wishes

you are not destined to be fat

I'm right there with ya. I lost 38 lbs in a little over three weeks and now nothing for the last three plus. Been around 850 calories a day and working out 2-3 times a week lightly. It has to break eventually but it is a little frustrating. Hang in there

Thanks everyone!!! I appreciate the support!!
