I'm 3 weeks post op, lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks but the scale hasn't moved in a week! Sad! Beginning to wonder if I'm foist to fail at this, if this is going to work for me, has anyone else gone through this?

I just posted the same thing a few days ago! I had surfery 2/18 and lost 12 lbs the first 10 days and not a pound since. I started eating soft foods that day too! Frustrating

Have you gotten past it and if so how? I'm so frustrated I know I shouldn't be and that stalls are normal but it's hard not to get discouraged!

No! I will be three weeks tomorrow... I saw my surgeon on Friday before my two weeks. He advanced me to soft foods. Whamo! My weight loss stopped! I can't seem to make it start again. I watch carbs and eat lean Protein. At a loss too, but I am taking comfort in it will pass

Keep doing what you are doing. I am just shy of 4 weeks post op. just before I hit 3 weeks I stayed the same for like 5 days (after 3 weeks). The past couple of days I have lost 5 pounds. Stalls happen. Just stay consistent and it will start to come off again. Also, try increasing your Protein.< /p>

I was sleeved on 02/11/13 and had my first post op visit the very next Monday after that. Since then, I have gained 6 pounds. I was going to the gym and walking the treadmill for 30 minutes and walking up and down 5 flights of stairs 5 days a week. I was also doing exercises at home. I decided to test a theory out. I think that I was working out too much and not eating enough calories to balance it out, but how can we at this point. So, I stopped working out. My last regular work out was last Wednesday morning, which I only did 15 minutes on the treadmill. I haven't worked out since and am now down 4 pounds. So, I proved a point to myself, but as much as I want to just scrap the exercising to keep losing weight, I can't. I will go back to walking the treadmill for 30 minutes 3 times a week and see how things work out.

Muscle weighs more than fat. I am of the overall opinion of size is more important than weight. Ive been 200 lbs before and wore a size 10. I was very much in shape back then. So don't be to discouraged.

I had surgery the exact same date and have lost the exact same amount. I started soft food on day 12 and gained 2lbs of the 12 I'd lost... Been sitting at the same weight for 8 days... Are you 50 also? That would be too wild! I've lost a total of 14 lbs from pre-op til now

With all do respect, a pound of muscle and a pound of fat are still a pound. However, muscle is more dense than fat which is why ladies, it is important to take measurements! Even when I went thru a stall (sleeved 1/15) I was still losing inches! I only weigh at dr appt now because I don't want to get discouraged. Just keep doing what you are doing, getting in Proteins, Water, Vitamins, exercise and trust the process. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
