Update!!! I did some searching and found that this topic has caused all sorts of snarkiness and negative responses. Please forgive me for bringing up the subject. On a positive note, maybe the eye-rolling will burn a few calories. :rolleyes:

I started on soft foods on Tuesday, started Water aerobics on Wednesday. That's the good part. The bad is that I haven't lost an ounce since Monday. Did I go through all this only to stop losing this soon???

No, you are fine. You hit the famous 2-3 week out from surgery stall. Your body is just adjusting. Just hang in there and keep up the good work.

On a side note, be careful with exercise. It is so easy to reinjure yourself at this stage. I learned the hard way. :-)

Thank you!!! I didn't know about the surgery stall. It felt great to get back in the pool. I didn't do all of the exercises and felt really good. I'll go 2 days next week and then back to a regular schedule of 3 days the following week.

Don't get discouraged.. I had a 2.5 month stall 5 months post op... I freaked... I followed everything exactly, no cheating, plenty of exercise so I increased the distance and intensity and it got me over my hump. You will do fine don't worry it will pass.

I'm 4 weeks post op monday and I experienced a gain and stall weeks 2-3.... this week, I dropped 5lbs. Stick with it and trust in the process. take progress pictures every week...it helps you see how far you have come, especially on the weeks the scale doesn't move!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
