I was sleeved on 10/9 and during the 1st 2 weeks lost 18 lbs. When I went on puréed foods I stalled for 5 days and now I've gained 2 lbs. I started to add unflavored protein powder to my food and wonder if this is the cause. This is so frustrating to go thru all this to not only not lose but to gain so soon. And please don't bother with the "you lost 18 you should be so proud" remarks. Something is amiss with my surgery. I've never read about anyone gaining so soon. I follow the diet and portion and only drink water and 0 cal drinks.

What's your carb intake? Until I dropped mine below 20grams a day I wasn't losing weight. Also at 3 weeks out you ARE in the infamous 3 week stall' date=' but gaining 15 pounds is a bit odd. Are you retaining fluids? Are your bowel movements normal? (Yeah, no privacy on this forum! Lol)[/quote']

Am not tracking my food intake. Which I should be doing.How can I tell if am retaining Fluid? Actually I haven't hade a bowel movement in a couple of days. I going to start tracking my carb and Protein. Thanks for the feed back.

Crystal.

Sure! My Fitness Planner is a really good program. You can use your phone or computer. Many of us are on it from here.

If you aren't peeing enough and your ankles start to swell are good signs of retaining Water.

I'm going to sleep now but ur welcome to PM with any questions. Good luck!

Crystalite: 15 lbs is quite a significant gain, especially after being sleeved. Have you called your surgeon's office? Please call them and let us know what's going on. That's not right. I could see maybe 5 lbs, but not 15.

I am still unable to lose anything more. I had sugery in Mexico so I do not have a Dr locally. I am wondering if I should see a NUT on my own. Its been close to 2 weeks since I hit the stall and I wlak at least 30 min a day and calories are under 500 total. To go thru all this for nothing is hard.

Shamrock, do you have a nut or doctor that is local for you? Sounds like it would be good to pay them a visit..
