If you will go back to page one and start reading, you will see that everyone that has the surgery goes thru this stage, and the answers are always the same. I remember the journey very well as I would stall for months at a time. That is when I decided to stay off the scale and use clothes to see how I was losing. you will lose inches but not a pound. Your body is fighting to keep your weight, but eventually it will let go. Best of luck to all of you.

Thank you everyone and yes it did

Sleeved on 9/11 and I Have lost a combined total (pre op and post op) 48lbs. But like a poster stated before, I mow get acid reflux with just about everything I eat. But a small price to pay in my opinion.

Did your doctor prescribe an antacid? Mine did ever since surgery, in case that were to happen, and I haven't had that reflux far.

I was sleeved on sept 4th. So almost 8 weeks. Today I am down 26 pounds from surgery. Doesn't seem like much compared to some others, but trying to take it one day at a time. I know it will come off. Been having trouble getting my water in everyday.

I've been having trouble getting my water in as well. I'm 4 weeks and 2days post op, and as of today, I have lost 16lbs since surgery. :-/ I guess as long as we know it will come off, and take it a day at a time, we'll be ok.

I find that when moving around it makes me want water more.I'm almost 3weeks out doing good.Just don't like protein shakes unless they're really cold.

My nutritionist told me all liquid counts when you're struggling. Eventually you'll get it all in. :-). Best wishes!!

I'm not losing as some are, but I can feel my body shrinking. I'm almost 4 weeks out and dropped a full size. My bras are getting too loose too. I am going go by my clothes and not my scale weight. Screw that darn thing right now. Lol. I did just drop two pounds this week, but I was stalled for a week. I almost got discouraged, but I caught myself and stayed focused on my journey of a healthy living lifestyle. I fell better than I have in years. :-). Best wishes!!!!

I'm the same way. They always have to have ice. :-)
