I'm just shy of a month out of surgery, so I'm starting to eat a lot less than I ever would before , and have completely cut out unk food/coke/etc - sometimes I'll have some sugars and so on, but my weight has just come to a standstill these last 2-3 weeks. I lost about 8kg (15lbs) first up, and then just.. nothing , if that it's even gone up 2-3lbs (1-2kg) did anyone find the same thing happened ? Is it because your body has just gone into shock from being restricted so much ? I try and eat 3 "meals" a day, even if it's just yoghurt and tea for Breakfast , and I'm on a clean eating program of lean Proteins and vegetables + minimal carbs.. but still just.. nada. Did this happen to anyone else post surgery ?

I am 9 weeks out. I slowed down like you did and have now started losing at an incredible pace. Will blow right past last months record of 22 lbs. With a week to go to end the month I am 25 lbs down. 7.5 lbs in the last week. Wow. I dont know whether this is good or not.

I'm right there with you. I'm at 5 weeks postop and my scale has moved very little in the past 2 weeks. Really frustrating when you feel like you're doing everything right. I'm going to to kick off my exercise plan and maybe that will get me the results I'm looking for.

My scale didn't move at all for a few days after 4 weeks then I had an appointment with my surgeon, he told me to eat more to lose more.

That also when he ordered me to eat solid food just a day after I started losing again, slowly but losing, since then (10 days) I lost 1.4 kg (3 lbs).

I had a 12 day stall 2 weeks out. Most people do stall out shortly after getting sleeved. Follow your doc's recommendations and incorporate as much walking as you can and it will start back up.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
