Just continue doing what you are doing...remember your body just had a major shock and is in the healing mode too...I experienced my weight not moving for a few days as well. Just follow your doctors instructions for eating and the weight will start to fall off. Hang in there. Take it one day at a time.

I'm not very far ahead of you, but a lot of people have said that you won't feel "real" restriction until you start on solids. I'll be interested to hear what everyone has to say. Sounds like you're doing fine!

You are doing great! I do have a suggestion for you though. Please put the scale away, hide it in the closest if you must! It is only going to cause you stress. It is very inconsistent. If you haven't measured yourself yet, this would be a good time to do it. That is going to be the best tool for measuring your weight loss. Believe me, your stomach is 85% smaller. You will feel it when you start eating softer and regular foods later on out. CONGRATS! :)

Since you are on soft foods, those soft foods are still sliding right on through. I wasn't able to feel restriction until I was eating full protein...like chicken chunks, so I measured everything I ate. Of course I could only eat a few bites over a long period.

Be confident that you are sleeved. You are healing still and things will change as you heal. This is a learning phase. Adjust and learn to be flexible.

Hugs...I love my sleeve and have no regrets.

      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!!

      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?
