3 weeks post op GAINED 2lbs

[teeniesleeve10 3]

I am 22 days post op and I feel as if my weight lose has come to a halt. I was 227 pre op and 218 day of surgery. 2 days ago I was 203 and now I am 205. I started soft foods at 2 weeks per doctors instructions. I saw that the scale was not dropping so I went back to liquids for those 2 days and that's how I got to 205. I even did Zumba but my shoulder muscles are inflamed and I believe I am pinching my nerves because my fingers are going numb. Anyways I feel like I can eat a lot more and drinking Water has become quite easy. I am scared my sleeve has stretched or I won't be losing anymore weight. Pls can someone help.

Search "3-week stall" on this forum and you will quickly see that what you are experiencing is incredibly (almost universal in fact) common. Know it is frustrating, but trust us, you will lose more weight. Stick with your plan and it will be fine.

shoulder muscles are inflamed - pinching my nerves because my fingers are going numb

as nicely as i can say .....

at 22 days, and not feeling terrific

STOP,STOP doing Zumba or anything else that might hurt

you always must listen to your body

pinched nerve, shoulder muscles inflamed

your body is telling you to be careful - take it easy!!!!

many people have trouble drinking Water at your early stage

be happy that you can drink easily

drink, sip slowly (don't gulp yet)

your tummy is still in the healing process

be nice to "it", and "it" will be nice to you

you feel you can eat more????

at 3 weeks, what are you eating??

i was on puree at 3 weeks

but i know all NUTS are different

whatever you have been told you can eat, great - don't overdue though

you won't feel any restriction in your little tummy til you are on soft foods, but mainly once you start solids

many NEWBIES are afraid they stretched their stomach - trust me you didn't - you can't

many sleevers at one point or another think they won't loose any more weight

hun, you just started your weight loss journey!!!!

i see you will lose much more weight on the road to a healthier, happier, longer life

good luck
