I got sleeved on March 1, and 5 days later I have not lost a pound!!! I am up .5 actually!! I tried to brush it off as a slow start because I got my period on day 3 or flying home etc. but to not see any losses at all when I haven't eaten since surgery is freaking me out!! How is that even possible??

It will be a week tomorrow and I am the same as when I left!! Hard to take......

Stop weighing yourself everyday. Take the scale out of your house because it will drive you crazy.

I'm three days out and the next time I will be weighed will be at my two week post op appointment. I'm just going to keep doing all the things I was told, hard as that is, getting enough fluids and protein is a real challenge

Albertamom- take a deep breath, follow your liquid diet & stay off the scale for a week or so. Remember, you were hooked up to an IV, you stated you were on your period & you're body is recovering from surgery. Everything will be ok! My thoughts & prayers are with you. You WILL start seeing the numbers drop, give it time

Water in...water out. Try to get in as much fluid as possible to help flush that hidden water out. It's a matter of shifting the water (IV fluids) from your tissues to your circulatory system. Keeping well-hydrated will do that. Keep drinking!

I gained doc gave me one week water pills problem solved jst hit 5 mos out 57 pounds.

My surgery date was 25 Feb. I weigh exactly the same as I did the day I got home (205). Lost 10 lbs pre-op. Reading these posts has made me feel better. I was weighing each morning and evening. The scale is going away for a while for sure!

Ditto this. Very important to keep putting in as much water as you can stand past your 64oz. It's been my personal experience even before the surgery that simply drinking enough can be the key to losing or not. Your body is inflamed and bloated in a few places from the surgery and then the period. Water water water. Drink it.
