I was sleeved on April 6 and to date have only lost 22 lbs. I rarely eat. I should be losing more weight. The only thing I can think of is the lexapro? Any insight

Nope. Medications don't make you gain or retain weight unless it is in the form of Water weight, which your medication should not be causing. They do however make you hungrier and as a result one of the side effects listed may be weight gain. I use Depo which is notorious for causing weight gain, however ultimately I know that if I eat more, I gain and if I don't eat more, I lose, so the problem is not the depo as much as the hunger it creates.

Also, 22 pounds in roughly 5 weeks is completely normal. I think at about 5 weeks I had roughly lost 20 pounds. Slow and steady wins the race. Keep following the plan and you will see results.

Are you meeting your Protein and Fluid goals? If you rarely eat that may be why the loss has stopped.

look at the side affects for Lexapro.it does make you gain weight.i know ive been on it for 5 yrs and I gained most of my weight on it.i almost went off it a few months ago because I thought I was losing to slow but im at the normal speed for losses so im staying on it!

What is normal? I have lost 23lbs since April 6. It's quite disappointing to me. I feel like a did this for nothing

Definitely could be. I gained 10 pounds on it (post-sleeve) and said nooooooo thank you. My doctor switched me to a new med, just FDA approved called Contrave. It's part appetite suppressant, part Wellburin. It's made all the difference.

22 lbs in a little over a month and you're worried????
