Several people told me a stall is normal I just didn't expect it so quickly. I've gained 1 1/2 lbs which seems impossible considering I hardly eat. I'm holding on to hope that it's just pre-menstral Water weight.

Same thing happend to me. I lost a few pounds right after surgery, then gained 4 pounds over a five day period. It completly ticked me off. I could not (and still don't) understand how I could gain weight when I was eating only 700 calories a day. But that passed, the stall ended, and I started losing weight again, and losing very quickly.

While it's easier said than done, just be patient, give it some time, the wight will come off

Thank you for your encouragement!

Revision surgery from lapband to sleeve done on 6/18. No regrets. Was excited today that my dr moved me to stage 3 soft food and boy scrambled eggs never tasted so good. :).

I was sleeved on June 18 too and I have a doctor visit tomorrow. I am really hoping I can move to soft food! I'm very tired of liquids.

June 26 and already down 6lbs. 22 since ten ds y preop on the 16th. So far so good. Not hungry but able to tolerate my 4ozs of food. Slowing down is a struggle I now know I have to overcome.

I was sleeved on 6/11. I've had difficulty with my tummy not liking any of the pureed foods and it is difficult for me to get in as much Water as I need, but I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

It looks like I've only lost 10 lbs. since the sleeve but I had to lose an additional 9 lbs. of Fluid I gained in the hospital. Anyway, I am back on track but it is very slow.

HW 242 - one week prior to surgery - start of pre-op liquid diet

SW 230 surgery date 6/18

CW 222

My first follow up is tomorrow. I moved from liquids to pureed foods this past Saturday and I'll be on pureed foods for 3 weeks then I'll move to soft foods for 4 weeks.

Other than struggling with walking and still having lots of fatigue - I'm doing great and don't regret my decision to do this at all!!!

I had a revision from lap band to the sleeve done on June 27th. When I went in for my surgery I weighed 227. Here is the real kicker, I am now on day 4 post op & I have not had anything solid in 7 days now, I have not even drank much of anything besides Water or Isopure the past 3 days and nothing at all for 2 days before that and I now weigh MORE than I did when I went in for my surgery!! It's incredibly frustrating! Especially when I am in so much pain from the surgery, to not see the scale move downward is like a slap in the face! So incredibly discouraging! I hope things change REAL soon!! At this point I wouldn't suggest a revision for anyone. The pain has been a hundred times worst than it was with my lap band surgery & to not see any results while you have all this pain is quite simply depressing! I'm at 229 right now.... I got up to 234 right after surgery! Everything I've read or watched on you tube about people having a revision from the band to a sleeve they have all been very positive and said it was the best thing they have ever done. I'm hoping that in the next week or so I can change my story to say I feel that way also.

hang in there. I came home from my revision 10 lbs heavier from all the IV fluids. A week later did I finally see the pounds drop. I agree this surgery I have been slow to recover then my lapband one. I'm really sore on my left side where the port was removed as it was embedded a little. I'm 2 weeks out tomorrow and feel better with each passing day.

The doctors put you in purée a week out?? I'm so jealous. Yesterday was my one week out :-( I was told I have to do a week of clear liquid, next week full liquid and then purée. I'm dying to get to the purée stage.

      tl:dr at bottom,
      I could use some advice. I went to see my dietician today (not a bariatric surgery dietician, I can explain why I am seeing her if you want to know). She knows I am going to have weight loss surgery as long as I hit the goal weight my insurance told me I need to be at. I have to be at the goal weight by June 24, 2023, in order for my insurance to pay for my surgery.
      I had a weigh in the doctor's office a couple of days ago and weighed 301, my scale at home said 302. However, on the same day, the scale at a friend's house said 313. 
      I knew I had this Dietician appointment two days later and I knew she would weigh me. I continued to weigh myself at home (after getting new batteries) and I was at 302 then 299 and today at home I weighed 303, right before my appointment, when I got to her office I was weighed and it said 313.
      I am concerned about what to believe since the doctor's office and my scale show similar numbers. I also bought a new scale today and it said 313. 
      The Dietician told me I needed to eat more protein, which honestly I struggle with. she said I needed 150 grams!!  I said are you kidding? that seems like a lot.  She used my weight to come up with this number. 
      Should I really be trying to eat enough protein for a 300-lb person or should I be eating protein for a goal-weight person (mine is 170)?   
      also, my clothing is loose like I lost the 20 lbs mine and the doctor's scale shows, and not 10 lbs like everyone else's scale shows. Also, I have always naturally been more muscular even when I was 120 lbs and did not eat any protein aside from what is in plants. 
      tl:dr- should I be eating enough protein to support a 300lb person or should I be eating protein for a "normal" sized person? AND should I trust the Doctors scale more so than the Dietician's scale?

        Hi!

        I would love to be your accountability partner. I had the sleeve in 2021, so maybe I can give you some insights.

        Please message me back, looking forward to hearing from you!
