3 weeks post op

Is it normal that I have had no issues with my intake besides the first 3 days with the Protein shake. After that everything I eat does not affect me at all. Actually, I feel as if I haven't had me sleeve done yet. I'm full of energy. And already on my 1st stall. Dropped 10 lbs first week, haven't lost anything else after that.

I think my sleeve is not functioning well. Any advice plz!!!

Yes, it is completely normal. Your stomach tissue was extremely swollen right after surgery which caused the problem with Protein drinks the first few days. As your stomach heals the tissue swelling and inflammation starts to decrease and you can handle liquids and food better.

I even told my doctor's PA at my two week checkup that I wasn't sure they actually did the sleeve! He laughed and said they hear that a lot.

And the first stall at around 3 weeks is also completely normal. If you search "three week stall" you'll find hundreds of posts about it.

If you stick to your surgeon and nutritionist's recommendations you should be fine.
