I am looking for your ticker and you don't have one yet and checked your profile and you don't have a date yet. So it's really hard to assist without other information like diet, etc. :) t's great that your exercising.

Just reread your post and you had surgery 3 weeks ago. No problem, it may just be that your body is transitioning. You will start to drop inches and lbs really soon! It ill happen. :)

Did you lose any pre-op? I know when people lose a significant amount pre-op, their bodies take a little longer to reset.

is the mushy stuff you are eating carb heavy? Everyone is different and I know it is frustrating waiting for it to drop. THe only other idea i have is you aren't getting enough calories in. and drink drink drink what you can.

so 10 pre op and 10 since?

I only lost 8 on my two weeks pre op liquids but unfortunately gained most of it back with needing a transfusion and a ton of fluids in hospital. I basically walked out from surgery weighing 2 pounds less than before. I am at 28 pounds gone but I am starting from my pre pre op diet weight.

So if you are down twenty overall that isn't bad. hang in there?

Seems like maybe too much excercise this early may be tricking your body into starvation mode and it's trying to hang on to whatever it can? I know my body does that to me especially if you are lacking in essential nutrient.

Perhaps uping your Protein intake and Water will give you a boost. Just a little at a time. This could be your 3 week stall as well. It happens. you will lose weight and have that beautiful slim new body that's shouting out "SEXY." :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
