I was sleeved June 6 as well and I've lost 16 pounds the first 2 weeks. Just like you, I haven't loose any weight since then and yes, I'm frustated. I think I need to get more Protein in, and eat a little more. Today I ate 800 calories for the first time and had 60grs of Protein. I plan to continue this way and be patience until the scale moves again... Good luck to us! and hang in there, I know how this feels

@@dski Don't go by your FitBit. At this point you should be concerned about eating Protein and drinking Water (non caloric drinks). My plan suggests 1-2 ozs of protein every 3 hours while awake and increase to 3-4 ozs week 4. Track your protein and water intake. Don't worry about calories right now.

Hello there!!

I feel your pain I am in the same boat... I was sleeved 5/26 so about 1 month post op and I lost 22 pounds first week and a half and then a 2.5 week stall. I sought out advice here because surgeon said the same, so I recently increased my Protein and Clear Liquids, added a colace stool softener everyday( i go only every 10-12 days the Constipation sucks) and when I sit for a meal I only eat my Protein and 20 mins later if still hungry I eat my veggies or fruit. My NUT approved oatmeal and cereals at stage 5 but I cut 90% of CARBS and within the last week I am slowly loosing again. Oh, and I try to walk a lot more daily as well. Stalls are normal and my surgeon told me to weigh in biweekly and stay off the scale lol..

Good luck!

Focus on drinking your Water, getting in enough Protein and walking at least 30 minutes a day. This is your part the weight loss will follow. I went through the same thing at first and now I. Am down almost 80 lbs. [emoji4] Trust the process.

Dski the article posted by RickM was great. I would caution you not to do any weight lifting/strength training though until your surgeon clears you.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
