You just got sleeved some days ago it takes time give your body a chance it in shock

It's temporary weight gain from swelling and all of the fluids they gave you. If it makes you feel any better, I gained 14 lbs in the hospital! My RD said that some patients gain even more. Try not to weigh for at least another week and drink as much as you can. You will be rewarded! Sorry that you are missing out on strawberry season, but think of all of the things that you missed out on bc of your weight that you won't be missing out on anymore. Stay strong! Hope you feel better soon.

I will be 3 weeks out tomorrow and haven't lost anything in the past week. I have only lost 10 lbs total. I don't know what to do. I can barely get my protein in and have a difficult time with food.

I am 6 days out and up to my pre-op weight! I can see that my feet and legs are totally swollen up with fluids. I am looking at it like it is banked weight loss that I will see when my system get back to normal. The best thing is that I am so not hungry! So relax and be patient...think about how happy you will be when your system starts behaving itself! :D

Ditto what everyone else said...give your body time to heal. I only lost a pound the first week, 3 the second week, but after 6 weeks I'm down 46 lbs.

It'll happen, just give it time and follow doctor's orders.

I was sleeved the 10th, I'm not losing anything either. It will take time. I lost a lot the first week, I figure my body just needs time to catch up. <Shrugs>

Agree. I also came out of the hospital with significant weight gain. Up about 20 lb. it took a couple weeks to lose the Water weight and then it started to go negative.

I'll see your two pounds and raise you the six I gained overnight in the hospital! :P

A week later, it came off taking some with it! :D

Relax, the weight will come off for you too soon.

Your body is in shock you just had major surgery. You are also no doubt retaining Water from IV fluids,meds etc. I did not see any loss on my scale for 11 days after surgery and like you I gained a couple pounds initially.It will start coming off once your body normalizes.No worries :)

Yep, same here.....I gained weight right after surgery! I am NOW enjoying watching the scale move down! Your scale will be moving soon as well!

Sleeved June 10th. Lost 14 pounds first 8 days, haven't lost a single pound in the past 5 days!

My 3-week stall (which lots of people get) started at 2 weeks also!

Well that just SUCKS! You would think being on straight liquids getting less than 400 calories a day, one would lose weight!

And I was only 8 days out when I stalled. :-( I just don't get it.

Same happened to me. Now I'm 5 weeks out and can pretty much eat anything and I'm losing an average of 2 pounds a week.
