Hi there - so I am 3 weeks post op from my gastric sleeve. I lost 15 pounds in the preop diet and another 15 the first week after surgery. I have not lost a pound since then. I am getting in between 60gram to 80grams of Protein a day. My calorie intake ranges from 500 to 700. I am drinking 60oz of fluids a day and am walking for an hour. Is this normal? I am getting frustrated. Some changes in my clothing size but nothing significant.

My numbers are about the same as yours. I'm three weeks post-op today and I'm STALLED also. Hope this ends soon.

Week three stall. Totally normal. Almost everyone of us gets it. Don't worry it will pass. You're body is rebalancing.

Yes it is perfectly normal. Stay positive, your body will adjust and the weight loss will start again. You might want to try tracking measurements, sometimes when the scale isn't moving you will notice changes in your sizes. Stay positive, stay on your plan and everything will be fine. Good Luck.

I'm experiencing it too! Though the past week I haven't lost but thus morning it is down 2-3lbs. So I'm hopping that this is the end of it. I wad told by my nut to not worry about calories just worry about Protein. Which I'm getting. But I know yesterday I did not meet my Water goals. It is frustrating. I am down roughly 35lbs from July 10th when I was sleeved. But I still fit into allot of my clothes. I'm compacting, as my husband says. I'm losing it from my shoulders up and my thighs down. Hopefully it ends soon and I can start dropping again.

Thank you everyone, just reading these posts has calmed me down. I am just going to keep at it and I know the weight will come off eventually.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
