Your body probably thinks its starving itself. Don't panic & stay focused. Keep doing what you're doing & the weight will come off.

If your having issues "going," try adding flaxseed to any warm liquid. Mix it really well before adding the liquid. You can also try Smooth Move tea to help. That usually works by the next morning for me.

Congrats of getting the surgery. Best of luck, you'll do fine!!!

If you like tea, start drinking it. It's a natural diuretic!

We were doing one shake a day, mornings, and one lowfat meal at night. Lost almost 20 lbs in 6 weeks. Try to stay focused and eat those SF popsicles! Good luck!

Try not to weigh every day. It will drive you crazy. If you stick to the shakes and a lowfat meal at night... the weight will come off but it has to balance the fluids... and that takes a few days. Try not to stress as that can make you retain those pounds and cause you to eat things you shouldn't. Just relax and do the plan and nature will take care of the rest. Good luck with your surgery and hope you have a quick and uneventful recovery.

My preop was 3 Protein shakes/ day plus unlimited leafy green veggies. I lost 22 pounds in 16 days! I only weighed 2 times during that time so I couldn't tell you exactly when it all came off. You will be fine if you stick with the plan.

I went through the exact same thing so I definitely can relate. I was very obsessive with weighing myself during the pre-op stage. Every morning I would weigh and if I didn't see the number I expected I would freak. Even went as far as calculating how much needed to be lost per day to hit my goal. So....After a week of everything going according to my plan when I weighed one morning and gained 3 pounds I freaked out!

My advice to you: trust your surgeon's program, trust yourself, drink lots of Water, and stay off the scale. Once I told myself to calm down, I got right back on track and had my surgery April 7th. You got this, don't worry! Before you know it, this will all be behind you and you'll be sleeved. Best of luck to you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
