I was revised on 1/28 and from pre-op to now down 20 lbs. However, i have not lost anything in a week and even gained 2 pounds and now down 1....I am under 500 cal's a day. I have only been able to get in about 30 grms a protein a day (sometimes) and about 25-40 oz's of water. Does coffee and shakes count for the water? Anyone???

Hi-

I was sleeved jan 10th and I lost 20 lbs first 2 weeks and now have been stalled for 2 weeks. I lost 1 lb last week. I have been struggling with getting in Protein shakes and fluids since I advanced from full liquids. From what I read getting in all your protein and fluids helps with the weight loss....so today I cut back to 2 oz per meal and concentrating on getting in all my fluids and protein. Hopefully that will help.

I expected stalls along the way, but it stinks!

I have stalled too. I am 5 weeks out. I get about 64 grams of protein in, but not quite all my fluids. The scale says I'm up 3#! How can it be, we hardly eat a.nything.

And yes coffee and drinks of anykind count.

I am one month out and lost 21 pounds in like 2 and a half weeks and stalled out. I put away the scale 5 days ago. The stalling devastated me. I get in about 60 grams of protein a day and it seems to average 850 calories. How can I not be losing? I just assume my body is adjusting to the shock. I promised myself I wouldn't weigh myself until the 28th....it will have to budge by then! Good luck!

Thanks for the input. Hmmm I cant remember if my Dr even gave me a calorie guidline! But I am keepin git under 500 for sure. Hard getting in my Water. I'll just keep drinking as much as possible and go to 2 ozs for my meals too.

You maybe getting to few calories, causing your body to refuse to let go.
