I've been sleeved since 4/29, battling staying hydrated. Can this stall weight loss?

Am I on track and over anticipating?

Anyone else have similar problems? Lost more or less in the first 2 weeks? Love To Hear Your Thoughts

I had very slow weight loss in the first few weeks due to being dehydrated and having to be pumped with IV's. After the internal swelling went down and I could sip easier and more often the weight started melting off.

I was sleeved two months ago and have lost 20 lbs post surgery. There was a period of about three weeks when NOTHING came off. I was so upset. But suddenly the lbs started to come off again. Slowly. The body knows it's in starvation mode and is protecting itself.

Think about it - do we really expect to lose 5lbs a week? Great in the first couple of pre-op and post-op all-protein shake weeks but health dictates a saner weight loss progression. If i lose another 8-10lbs a month going forward I'll be slim by Thanksgiving and at my goal by the New Year. It's a lot easier to get my head around that kind of goal.

Thanks To both, Very Reassuring! Hanging In There With A Positive Outlook. ThanKs Again!

I was also sleeved on 4/29. I have lost 14 pounds in 15 days. I am 5'3 and am currently at 2o7. Surgery weight was 221.

I too struggle with hydration, just saw the md today... He said that i dehydration will really put us in a stall as well as complicate healing.

I was also sleeved on the 29th I lost 12 lbs in the first 5 days! And now I have been suck at 204 since the first week and I have not budged.. I'm trying to not let it bug me.
