Lost A Bunch The First Week And Nothing The 2Nd Week! Help...



Recommended Posts

Can anyone advise? I lost 15 lbs the first week after my surgery and have not lost a pound since. I am at 2.5 weeks out. When I started soft foods, I gained 3 lbs immediately, then lost that 3 lbs this past week, but have not gone down again in weight. Is this normal, semi-normal, unusual? Any insight is helpful! Thanks.

I just started soft foods two days ago and the scales not budging. I have a feeling if I dont tweak somethings I too will not be losing weight. Have you followed the eating plan exactly how your surgeon suggested as for as serving sizes and foods allowed? If so, are you weighing your food on a scale? Also are you tracking your food on myfitnesspal or some other calorie tracker that gives a daily total of the calories consumed and Protein? Sorry for all the questions. Just hoping to learn from your experience. I haven't been weighing food just eye balling and I sometimes miss a day tracking what I eat, especially when I snack that day :/

I'm having the same issue! Getting kind of worried. But my friend that had the sleeve said she started losing a good amount 2 months after surgery. I guess everyone loses differently.

I lost a majority of my weight in the 1st 2 months, averaging between 2-4 lbs a day. I was also walking quite a bit and I think that helped. During the 3rd mon I have been hit by stall after stall. However, I am a man with a plan to ramp up the exercise! I have lost about 100 lb so far so it is time to kick my BMR in the rear and tell it to get moving.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
