Hi! I am feeling so frusterated this morning! I am almost 2 weeks post op. Tomorrow it will be 2 weeks, and I am not losing any weight!! I was losing ok and then it just stopped. The day of surgery was March 3rd and I weighed 280. I am now 270.5 and it has been stuck there for days! I just want to see the numbers go down, even a little bit. I have a friend that had the bipass and a friend that had the sleeve and they both lost faster then I am. I know it has only been 2 weeks but I can't help feeling frusterated. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks so much for reading everyone!

I was sleeved on March 4 and I am having the same problem. I lost during my two week prep liquid diet and lost upon returning home after surgery. The scales haven't moved since last Saturday. Very frustrating. I even walked a mile and 1/2 yesterday hoping exercise would help, nothing still the same. I was going to walk this morning, but it's raining.

I hope that since you both are finding the same thing, you will see that this is normal. Try to measure your losses by the month rather than the day. You are so early in, your body is still trying to figure out what is going on. Focus on doing things correctly and success will follow :)

As long as they keep going down, remember the days when we just looked at a meal and gained weight lol (I'm still on those). Give it time. You might still be swollen. Your body might be trying to react to a mayor change. You will do great.

I wasn't loosing very fast either. However I am only a week post-op tomorrow. I had gained 12 pounds from all the Fluid they pump you full of in the hospital. On March 10th, Surgery date, my weight was 279.8, On March 12th ,the day I got home from hospital I weighed 292, yesterday my weight was 281.3, today weight 273.1.... just wanted to let you know our bodies can be very strange especially since I dropped 8lbs in one day. My sister also had the sleeve done last year and she said she would go days without loosing anything and then 3-4 pounds would be gone all at once. You are doing great try and stay positive :)

Thanks for sharing your words of encouragement, I was sleeved on March 3rd, had lost 10 pounds pre-op and gained 11 overnight post-op, it's been 12 days and barely it's all that I gained. In fact I'm a pound over my pre-op still.

It's sooooo frustrating cause your stomach was reduced 70% I'm doing all the right things and still a big nothing!!!!

I won't give up, we need to start a March Sleevers group and share our stories and encourages one another.

Who's game?

Be patient please and stop weighing by the days. Weigh weekly if you must and at the same time and day. The weight will come off trust me.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
