I had my surgery exactly 2 weeks ago and lost 18 pounds the first week. The second week I havent lost a pound. What is going on? I was on Clear Liquids the first week and the second week I was on full liquids. I added a few things to my diet such as cream Soups and Protein Shakes. Im so disappointed. :( I have been stuck in the same number for a whole week....

18 lbs the first week is awesome. Don't be disappointed at all you are doing great. I'm 2 weeks shy of being 3 mths out and didn't lose a single lb until my 2nd week and only lost 2 lbs. Everybody is totally different with the weight loss and the way their body decides to change and at what pace. I had to lose 30 lbs to change clothing sizes where as some seem to fly thru sizes with 10-15 lbs loss.

We are sleeve sisters..I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today also...

18lbs is AWESOME...think about how long it would take you to lose18lbs if you were just dieting and not had surgery..... I kind of look at it theat way and it makes me feel much better. I am down 17.4 lbs since I started my clear liquid diet the Sat. before surgery...

How are you feeling otherwise? I am feeling really good...still just a little sore ut overall reall y good!!

I myself use INTEK Evolution, it's a whey isolate which is what the drs recommend, I scoop to about 4 ounces of Almond milk ( this is what I use) provides 34 grams of Protein, contains 160 calories 2 g carbs, 1 g of sugar. 2 shakes a day will get you to your required protein each day. At right at 3 months out 1 still take at least one shake a day and sometimes a second depending on how I did with my protein for the day. It mixes extremly well and is smooth. It is available at specialty nutrition stores and online. I really appreciate the fact that it doesnt require me to drink 8-12 oz's and the taste is something I can deal with and actually tolerate. I purchased several flavors so I don't burn myself out drinking the same thing day in and day out. It says you can mix with Water but I don't like the taste mixed with water.

I am drinking either EAS that you can buy at the grocery store...I only like the chocolate and it has to be really really cold. Or I order one from APEX it is a whey Lean Protein powder, 24 hour fitness sells it online. It has 22g of Protein and to me tastes really good. I think the key is to make them slushie cold in the freezer or a bit...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
