Depressed I have not lost weight in 1 1/2 week since surgery.



Recommended Posts

I am so depressed because I have not lost weight in 1 1/2 weeks and still can not get food down, I know they say up you calories but I can barely get calories in less Water, sometime I feel this was a waste of time. :(

In most cases , sleeves hit a plateau at the same time u r hitting yours.. Just be patient and the scale will move.. Try to drink more Water ,that will help. Your body is adjusting ...

I posted something similar. 12 days post op, not losing either, actually gained 2 pounds.

The reality is, I am not eating enough to possibly gain weight... so I'm sure you are not either. Hormones are changing and our bodies are freaking, I'm sure it is Water retention. I suspect I need to start my period, but I'm super irregular so who knows.

Give it a month and try not to think about it too much. Focus on being healthy and feeling good. Meeting your Dr.'s nutritional goals and let your body have some time to adapt.

It will work...just have the patience to work it.

Same here. 3 wks post op as of today and the scale hasn't moved in a week. I've lost 30lbs (including the weight on liquid diet prior to surgery). I need to drink more and get my Protein Shakes in. I have no appetite and have to remember to eat just to eat. IT's ery disouraging but I hear it's normal and just keep at it and the scale will move again. Hang in there

      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? 🤷‍♀️
