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!

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

Happy2Bme

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

kathy

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

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
