How much weight are you expected to lose with you sleeve surgery ? I have lost 29 pounds since my surgery 6 1/2 weeks ago. And now going I to my 7 th week I am not losing. So upset. This is a lot of work if I don't lose. I do ear more solids I have about 700 calories a day . And I don't drink before, after or during my meals. But I also don't wait more then 30 to 50 seconds between bites and I love sugar free Popsicle . I could eat like 6 a. Day. Too yummy. Any thoughts? Help?

you'll lose, but you'll have stalls where you don't lose weight but still lose inches! Everyone's loss and rate of loss is different.

slojo is right there will be stalls, but you will continue to lose

Your body is adjusting!! All of a sudden it'll be five pounds in one at!!! It's crazy

Really wondering if your researched this surgery at all before you did it. You did not discuss with your health care provider how much you should lose? That was one of the very first questions. You have lost almost 30 pounds in 6 weeks and your worries about not losing? How many times have u lost that much in 6 weeks before? This surgery was not meant to work alone. We are expected to commit to a very strict way of eating and exercising to expect great results with this surgery. The scale is not going too move everyday. But the one great thing is it doesn't go up so easily as before the surgery. Your adapting a whole new way of life. Just because you had surgery doesn't mean the weight is just gonna fall off like crazy. I really hope you did not expect that to be the case because you will continually be disappointed. 30 Pds is great your doing great and will continue to do so if you do your part. Sit back and relax work out eat right and use the scale once a week you will be so happy with the results!!!

I did ask my doctor but I do love heari g from all of you. I do think so e of you are getting much better care then me. I don't even meet with a nut unless I go to a big group mtg of over 50 people. Big reason I love this board. It gives me lots of information and makes me less stress. Thanks everyone !!!! Under my insurance I get two follow up appointments. Second one next week. You know doing this surgery is a lot and when you think your doing everything right and not losing you get scared and worried. Always like the feedback.

It's hard to know from a text your tone . Read my above comments. But do like your comments on not using the scale everyday. I do. I also record all my calories so I now I over think and worry. Going to be better about vein happy with the results.

From everything I've heard/seen/researched, your body will stall at times and then weight will come off. I understand your worry. I feel like what if this fails and I STILL don't lose weight. I love this forum because hearing it from a doctor is one thing but hearing it from people who have actually gone through it is something totally different.

To the poster with the nasty tone...People come here for SUPPORT! If you don't have anything supportive to say, please refrain. #MyTwoCents

It is hard to know someone's tone from a text, but I think it's best not to criticize how much research someone has or hasn't done and just answer the question. Essentially she is here for support and the fact is she had the surgery already. To the OP thanks for feeling comfortable enough to ask the question. Yes, we will have stalls and 30 pounds is great! Good job!

My post-op nutritional counseling is in a group setting also. I didn't want to do that so I asked to have one-on-one appt's with my dietitian, and they set it up for me. No big deal. You might want to check into that to see if you can do it with yours also. I think the one-on-one time is really important.
