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.....

Only weigh ONCE a month, so you don't let your self get stressed....the sleeve works but you are NOT gonna lose weight every day...I was at goal about 8 months... Good LUCK., and throw away the scale. I only weigh at the doctors office.

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!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
