What was your recommended diet? It seems as though you should be eating more frequently (but I'm pre-surgery still). My NUT said 5-6 very small meals with about 3 hours in between (concentrate on Protein first) and at least 64ozs fluids (non caloric). You might not be able to eat that much ...not sure at 6 weeks post-op.

It certainly doesn't sound like you are eating frequently enough. What is your Protein target?

Are you:

Following your program?

Tracking your food?

Getting in all of your protein every day?

Getting at least 64 oz of Fluid?

Taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed?

Well eating shrimp and walking on Water isn't enough. Lol.

People have kindly answered your request for help with very legitimate questions about your behaviors and tracking. You did not answer. If your idea of tracking is eating shrimps walking and Water then you are in for a wake up call. It takes some focusing on the rules. Keeping track of Protein water calories and carbs and finding the delicate balance that works for you. At 3 weeks or so most of us stall. Then we stall again. Again and again. In spite of all that we melt away little by little. I'm 6 months out and the last couple of weeks I've lost a pound a week. Because I track everything know that in the last month I've lost 11 pounds. 72 pounds since Nov. 88 more to go. One day at a time. One bite at a time.

If your not eating enough cal's you will stay in the stall because your body will think it's starving. Even if you don't feel like eating, eat it will get you moving again.

Our surgery dates were probably very similar. Mine was March 29. I am now getting close to 100 grams of Protein each day and between 800 and 900 cal per day. You did not mention your starting weight. I have lost 42 pounds since I started trying to lose weight in February and I have lost 23 pounds since surgery. Slow and steady. You don't want to feel full. You don't wait until you are hungry to eat. You should probably have a good talk with your surgeon's office or nutritionist.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
