Not Losing

[kvogel 4]

I am 3 weeks post op and have only lost 11 LBS I am eating right, drinking tons of Water and I am joining a gym this weekend. I feel discouraged. I was hoping to be down more by now. Has anyone else not lose much in their first month? Please any advice would be appreciated!!!

I was sleeved 10/24 and I've only lost 10 pounds so far. I did lose 50 pounds pre-op and I'm still working on getting in my 64oz of Water so I figure those 2 things may be factors.

I lost 16 lbs my first month, but I've lost 216 lbs altogether. People lose at different rates; just stick to your program and you *will* lose. Like the above commenter, I lost a bunch of weight before surgery (57 lbs, to be exact). People who do that sometimes lose slower that first month post-surgery, from what I've seen lurking around these boards for a couple of years. It could be that people who lose a ton that first month are losing a lot of Water, and for those of us who lost a lot of weight before surgery, that "water weight" is long gone.

Thanks for the encouragement. I had the sleeve done in 2013 and lost 130 lbs and had my revision on Oct 26 and only lost 11 lbs but I did lose 6 lbs of Water weight after the surgery. Not gonna give up still have another 100 lbs to lose.

I've lost 23 lbs 44 total. Your body still adjust don't worry about the weight. When you work out it will stop dropping

Everything I've heard and read says revisions don't lose as quickly. Our bodies have already figured this out. Remember it is a marathon not a sprint
