I was sleeved 8-20-12 and I am now 16 day's post op and have not lost any weight?

I'm on full liquids ,but can not eat more than 1 Costco protein shake and one cup of fat free low sodium tomato soup with unjury protein a day. Is this normal ? Any replies would be greatly appreciated!

Thx

Did you lose alot of weight pre surgery?

Are you sipping your water all day long?

Only 10 pounds? Dr. Said that was ok, guess I should of lost more pre op?

Yes, I am getting in my 8 glasses of water a day

Keep in mind that ur weight may have gone up because of the IVs in the hospital..that will come off!

4 weeks post op only lost two pounds! Still on full liquids? PCP RX lasix 20 mg twice per day last week, without that there would be no weight loss! She has me on three Protein shakes a day that makes me nervous because I am adding 80 calories a day(total of 450) she said some people loose slower than others??? I have been searching all over the web and can not find a single person with the same experience?

this is what my Dr. said. 1st month the MOST important thing is to get in your 64 oz of water. Don't worry about all the protein. (I would get nauseaus w/ the protein shakes) After 4 weeks slowly get in the protein & water. If I were you I wpuldn't "force" the protein yet. And yes- my Dr. is very experienced and highly recomended (Center of Excellence)

Thank you so much for your reply!
