Ok guys, I need advice. I had the sleeve on the 12th August, post op I lost about 2-3lb per day after 10 days the weight loss stopped and I've lost nothing for the last 8 days I've lost nothing absolutely zilch ! I guess I was perhaps a relatively low starting weight of 245lb, I'm male and 182cm, currently I'm 222lb, I'm walking / jogging for 30 mins in the morning before work and walking home from work every day (about 45 mins). I have kept a food diary and my average daily intake over the last 10 days has been : calories 650, Fat 16g, Carbs 44g, Protein 80g, drinking 2ltr of water a day, taking all vits etc. So pi$$ed off right now ! What am I doing wrong ! I'm trying so hard at this and sticking to all of the rules :-(

From what I understand, everyone stalls. It is perfectly normal. And 8 days isn't really a stall. Some stalls last a month or more. If I had to guess, I would say you are maybe not getting enough calories? It sounds like you are doing a lot of physical activity and you're male, so 650 calories seems pretty low.

Hi John.

It didn't take you overnight to gain weight, so losing weight isn't going to be overnight either. The weight will come off and you've already done a great job. Don't be a slave to the scale.

Keep doing what you're doing and it will continue for you.

I had lost 7 lbs. since 8/14. Two are back. So that's 5 lbs in a little over two weeks.

I'm getting all my Protein and liquids in. At about 700-800 cal a day. I've been walking a couple of miles a day. But nope! It won't let go yet, sigh.

I just keep telling myself it will change. It has to!

Hang in there!

Oh my gosh! I have had nothing but problems since this surgery. I lost 60 pounds since May 31st by diet and exercise. I had my surgery on 8/25 and got on the scale today and gained 7 pounds! Seriously since May 31st I have never gotten on the scale and GAINED WEIGHT. I am doing exactly what they have told me to do. I don't mean to be a downer but this is AWFUL! Headaches, vivid dreams, cannot take the pain meds, crushed pills are absolutely disgusting and I cannot take them. And I am no stranger to pain. I had breast cancer and had a double mastectomy with reconstruction. If I had to do this over again, I would never have done it.

Thanks for all of your kind words and advice, I guess it's just so damn frustrating when the scales don't move even when you're doing everything right. I am going to try and take your advice and not be a slave to the scale, I'm down to once a day weighing now but will make and effort to move to every two days then every three etc etc !

Hey Tbahm, I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, am I reading right that you are just 5 days post op ? Things will get better, the weight gain will be related to the actual op I reckon and the iv fluids. Give it time to settle. Wishing you well and a speedy recovery.

Yes 5 days post op. I am

Obviously using it as a tool to lose weight. Lol. Not gain. It's just with all the problems I have encountered in the last five days along with gaining weight it is a bit discouraging.

I can understand. I was in such pain the two days after, I seriously regretted the decision to do this to myself. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired which added to the pain. But, the next day, I felt a bit better, and the next, and the next. Today I feel tired and sore, but much better than earlier in the week. I can't consume 64 ounces of Water as hard as I try. Most is about 35 ounces, which worries me because I don't want to get dehydrated.

It'll get better love. In six months, you're going to look back at these posts and realize how far you've come.

I cannot get all the fluids in or all the protein in at this point either. I am doing the best I can. Called my doctor this morning because I was waking up with migraine headaches and very very vivid dreams that I have NEVER had before in my life. The don't know why I am having headaches and told me to alternate the Tylenol with Aleve to make it through the weekend until he sees me next week.
