I had my sleeve done 3-18 and have kept to my sugar free liquid diet. I've done stuff around the house walked to the mailbox (we have a prvt driveway) stuff like that. I have my 1 week apt withe the. NUT on Tuesday. I started at 262 and today 256. What am I doing wrong!? Why isn't the weight coming off?

Also, I haven't had a bowel movement since before the surgery. Is this normal?

I really need some guidance. Thank you

You lost 5 lbs in 5 days in your first week post op. That IS normal and you're not doing anything wrong. Constipation is normal too. :)

Welcome to the board NEWBIE :)

We've been expecting you!!! :)

things will get better - you will loose weight

your new tummy is so "teeny weeny" that the weight can't help but come off!!!!

your tummy is now 85% smaller than it used to be - you will be eating far less food

5 lbs is great - some loose more, but some loose less weight, or i've heard some have even gained (IV, Water et al)

you're not doing anything wrong, really

good for you that you started doing a little walking

you are only drinking - no bowel movement???

think about it - makes sense!!!!

never compare your weight loss, time period to anyone elses stats

one thing we all have in common is that "we're all different"

you just need to be a little patient :mellow:

God Grant Me Patience Just Hurry Up About It!!!

It is hard when you dont drop what you expected to. I had read and read so knew i could have a slow start, but when it actually happened, i found it very disheartening but pushed through and just kept doing the right thing. I lost NONE until about mid way through the 3rd week but then started dropping a pound here and there. I still usually lose for 3 days then stay the same for 3-4 days...rinse and repeat. Just trust your sleeve, stick to the program, and it will work for you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
