So I am 8 weeks out. Post surgery i have lost 15 pounds. Yes..I know...that is 2 pounds a week....but 11 of it was week 1.

4 in week 4 and then NOTHING. I have been on this non stop stall and then today I am up 3 pounds.

What am I doing wrong? I am hungry, a lot. Not head hunger either. Some of it might be because I work graveyard so I am tired. I work out 3 days a weeks, cardio and weights.

I eat around 1200 calories a day split into 4-6 small meals. The gain is probably from someone telling me to eat more...so i did...all weekend ...all and bam...up 3 pounds (not all health food mind you. My friend got married and I split a cupcake with the bf). But I passed on everything not meat or veggies.

Today I had 1/4 of a burger. 1 power crunch bar, 1 c ricotta bake with turkey and eggplant added, and 32 ounces of Water -so far. I will probably have 1 serving of pretzels before I leave work since I have 3 more hours to go and I am hungry already. Then I will go home and go to bed.

Seriously. ..I am getting the same results and working just as hard as I was before surgery. So where am I ****ing up?

Honestly, this sounds awfully high in fat. That could be throwing things off.

I agree but it said 33 grams of that was in my salad...before dressing. I seriously doubt it as there was only a small amount of cheese on it. I think they entered the info into myfitnesspal incorrectly. But that is what it says so that is what I am rolling with for now. But yeah...that seemed a bit high to me too.

Was it a prepared salad that you bought? Or did you make it? If you bought it, I can believe that it had 33g fat in it. Egg, bacon, cheese... plus the dressing. It adds up.

My nutritionist told me, when buying food look for items that have less than 5g total fat and less than 15g total carbs.

I've NEVER watched my fat content. Just sayin'.

Unfortunately I did not have a NUT and the instructions post surgery were so inconsistent that many ppl started asking the doc. Instead of giving us correct information he just kept saying....do whatever you want...I'll resleeve you in 2 years.

So I have never asked questions since.

What? That sounds crazy.

Who was your doctor?

I just wanted to point out that you didn't really gain 3 pounds from eating 1200 calories in two days (and actually not even if you did all week). 1 lb is roughly 3500 calories. So you would have had to eat 3x that beyond what it takes for your body to survive.

So take a deep breath it's most likely Water weight. When u don't drink enough water your body will hold on to it.

That's what I was thinking! !! But I have not gained or lost even .01 pounds for many weeks. (I weigh everyday. ) so no water fluctuations but then...BAM 3 pounds. It freaked my ass out!

Ugh, unfortunately that's very common for me. I'll wake up and I'm 10lbs heavier... it's because I'm starting to pms and I retain water like crazy. Expecially if my albumin is low (have a non wls related Protein issue).

Oh and when I lose weight my hormones go crazy so I end up pmsing a couple times a month.

So when your weight goes up just keep those things in mind and try not to stress.

You are PAYING for a table he said you broke? A BARIATRIC surgeon does not purchase a table that will support a bariatric patient? I am sorry but you are a fool to pay one red cent to this surgeon. Get a lawyer!! Please tell us his/her NAME, we would like to know.

He has said a lot of crap like that. He has his own forum on Facebook. The final straw for me was when a girl said....why am I still stalled. His reply was "don't worry, you will break the stall just like you broke my table from you high bmi...which I am still paying for and the hospital reminds me of everyday. "

In a public post, in a public forum, for all to see. Nothing he has said to anyone so far has been helpful. So I just went off on my own.

The doctor's name was "Dr. Kelly," the OP said.

The table broke when a different patient (not the OP) was on it -- so said the insane surgeon.

Honestly, for a surgeon to say something like this in a FB group says to me: This surgeon is typing under the influence of something -- alcohol or drugs. Seriously. Not kidding. At all.

Wow your doctor said that??? He sounds like he only there for the money if he planning on resleeve in 2 years thats crazy

Right?! And the difference in conversation between in person and online is Jekyll and Hyde.

No no no...NOT ME. It was a different girl...and he is not making her pay for it financially. My issue was he humiliated her over it on a forum for all the other patients to see.

Your surgeon is FIRED! I'm glad you're not tolerating his nonsense.

I'm not prone to violence, but I'd consider a good throat punch for someone who told me to come back in 2 years to be re-sleeved. Actually a good kick in the nuts would be effective too.

My patience has been tried on your behalf.

Someone should report him to the medical board at the hospital. Let them deal with his rude disrespectful antics.

My surgery was June 4 , I only lost 15 pounds so far. I am also upset, I feel I am Hardly eating it should come off quicker.

Anybody with th same results? I just started mushy foods, yougurt has 17 carbs, I am wondering if I should even eat it.

My surgery was May 28. I have lost 18 lbs. I think its ok weight loss. With the sleeve the weight comes off slower than with the bypass. Just be patient and follow your plan.
