Go ahead and compare to me.... You won't be disappointed.

5 days up 11 pounds from surgery day.

11 days Weighed the same as surgery day.

6 weeks postp lost 17 pounds

7 weeks gained 3 pounds

10 weeks back to 17 pounds lost

12 weeks lost 25 pounds postop.

As you can see, stalls and even gains are normal. Also notice that I only weighed myself 6 times in the first 3 months. scale numbers DO NOT MATTER. Just stay on plan, STAY OFF THE scale, embrace the NSVs and have fun!!!!

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! You just made my day :)

I'm 12 weeks post op sleeve and it's done me good to read all your posts. I was in the post op euphoric phase having lost steadily and slowly with no problems or stalls until a couple of weeks ago. I was 203lbs SW and am down to 173lbs and for the first time I have hit a stall. I'm hitting my Protein and Water targets, walking around 3-5 miles a day, but I've ground to a halt as far as getting the poundage off my frame. I use My Fitness Pal so am tracking what is going in and know that I am doing everything exactly right. I make every meal from fresh ingredients (bumped into my GP in the supermarket yesterday and she commented on my extremely healthy trolley load!). However, I'm well and truly stuck scale wise. On the other hand, a pair of jeans that were just a wee bit too snug a couple of weeks ago are now almost comfy so I know that things are changing in my body that I have no control over. I feel wonderful and healthier than I have for years but I really want to see the scales moving in the downward direction again but I've decided that I'm going to stay off them for a couple of weeks. I have to keep reminding myself that I didn't gain all my excess weight overnight so it ain't going to budge overnight either. Hard to accept sometimes though. I just want to be the sylph that I was when I was a 19 year old professional ballet dancer but that was 40 years ago!!!!! I had to weigh around 100lbs then so realise that if I weighed that again I would look ridiculous and it would be a completely unrealistic goal doomed to failure. So....its just a case of sticking to the plan, touching base with fellow sleevers through these forums and posts, embracing the stall and thanking my lucky stars that I had the sense to have the surgery originally. That's not to say that it isn't hard to accept a stall. Someone was having a laugh when they designed the human body!!!!!!!! Why can't it do as it's told?!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
