Mine was March 2nd. Lost 24 lbs immediately but nothing since. And I stay with the diet guide to the letter....60 - 70 gms Protein and 70+ ozs Water daily. Others seem to be losing steadily but.....not me. ANYONE ?????

It sounds like you just hit a stall give it a week to week and a half. Also up your Protein. I was told to get between 70-100 g of protein a day. The scale will start moving again soon enough.

I was sleeved Feb 29th. Lost 28lb before surgery, then 16lb in the first 14 days after surgery before stalling. The stall lasted 2.5 weeks, and I am now losing about 3lb/week. Have lost a total of 51lb since Jan 1st.

I am not following the eating/drinking guidelines to the letter, but I am also watching my calories and not eating anything unhealthy or that would jeapordize my progress... and I walk 3 days per week and go to the gym 3 days per week.

Hard to say! I have a Protein shake and a Protein Bar each day. Then I typically have a Lean Cuisine or Atkins frozen dinner emphasizing veggies and Protein for dinner, 8-9oz. A greek yogurt now and then. I also eat some fruit, and some whole grains/fiber, like:

  • slice of protein enriched bread w/peanut butter, or an over-easy egg, or a little chicken salad
  • bowl of Cheerios or All-Bran or Post Shredded Wheat & Bran with organic fat-free milk
  • Fiber enriched low sugar oatmeal with wild blueberries

I am basically just trying to eat healthy and light, probably average 1000 calories or so. That's not very much, so I am losing weight about the same rate I did before surgery.

I don't think it hurts to sin a little, but you do need to watch snack foods like those PB-stuffed pretzels. There is no Fiber to go with the carbs. Better to have a piece of fruit or a little low sugar oatmeal.

It's only 130 calories for 9 nuggets. My brain knows that what you're saying is how it should be but its just easier and quicker to eat the

Pretzel nuggets.

I know some of you may be in a different phase but my NUT has authorized me to eat anything...so yesterday I had several nuts. They were awesome! Roasted pecans at lunch and then almonds for "dinner" (since I skipped a real meal.) I had no problems and am super excited to be back to eating regularly. I'm having a hard time getting my workouts in though!

      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
