I was sleeved 12/22.

Start weight: 303.

Surgery weight: 292.

Current weight: 278.

I've been stalled for over a week now :/

I feel like I haven't lost what I'm supposed to have lost.

Anyone else in the same boat?

My NUT and mom say my body is in shock and just trying to catch up but I can't help but be discouraged.

I'm having trouble getting all of my calories in which may have something to do with it.

My procedure was the day before yours. I weight once a week, but I've only lost 3lbs over the last two weeks. It's very disheartening, but I'm doing my darndest to stay positive and trust the process. This forum has really helped me keep my chin up about the whole thing.

I had a sleeve on 12/28/16, so it's been 2 1/2 weeks. I've lost 15 pounds so far. Is that below average? I had rapid weight loss from getting out of the hospital until the 1 1/2 week mark, then a 6-day plateau and just finally lost a couple more pounds. I can't explain the plateau--I was still on a liquid diet when it started!

I think we are so quick to get discouraged when at the time we first started we would of died for a 30 lb weight loss and the minute we slow means we need to up our exercise game that's another part of our tools, everything is just a tool, not a crutch.

I'm a dude. Bypass on 12/13 at 270 and down 35 pounds. Doing about 1 or 2 pounds a week now. Don't care about the scale, just sticking to the calories, and know my body will adjust. It has no choice really. That's the science part. Without the surgery there is no way I could maintain 600 to 700 calories a day. I remember when I thought 1500 calories was impossible to maintain a few "diets" ago.

Lost 10 pounds on the pre-op diet too. I started that week out at 270. I'm climbing out of the 3-4 week stall.

Mine was on 12/30, I lost pretty much the same amount of weight as yours. The first week was a pound a day now it's a little slower.

I was bypassed on 12/22 as well!! I'm currently going through this "stall"...although I have lost a really good amount of weight already. It's still discouraging not seeing the scale move for awhile!

Surgery day weight: 345

Current weight: 313

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
