Two weeks after surgery I lost 16lbs. Now 3 weeks later I only lost 3 additional pounds. Give me some help guys, I'm kind of worried.

Don't worry..You are geared to lose weight...Your body is going to shut you down if it feels distress....You will start again but give your sleeve a chance to heal okay....Everyone is in such a hurry...LOL

This is a life long journey, enjoy the ride...There will be good weeks and bad weeks, good days and bad days...Seems to me you are doing great...A loss is a loss.....

I never weighed myself when I was fluffier, so why would I start now?! I only weigh myself at the teams office ( the ones who did this to me...lol ) Which is about every 3 months...I am always pleasantly surprised....

Do you have a sledge hammer...use it on the scale..You'll feel great..saw a woman do that on the Biggest Loser..... :wub:

Agreed!! I know I'll drive myself crazy if I buy I scale. So I'm going to let the mirror be my "scale".

No worries!! You have some healing to do. Good weeks yes, last week I lost 5 pounds, Bad weeks this week I lost 1 pound (still a loss though :)) Then you will have stalls. Make sure you take your measurements if you haven't done so. When the scale isn't moving you will find that you are going down in inches. This is still your body losing and it will eventually reflect on the scale. Congrats on your surgery! :)

Ok here's another concern, I know that everyone is different but on an average how long does abdominal swelling last after surgery?

Ok ladies it appears that the stall is over for now. My last visit to the doctor he wanted me to weigh once a week for 8 weeks at the office. I weighed in yesterday and to my surprise I was 7lbs down from last week ☺️. Happy Dance!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
