Did you all notice a big weight loss your first week? I don't have a scale, but I can honestly say I don't feel like Ive lost anything at all. How would that even be possible!? I was expecting the weight to start falling off! Kinda frustrating.

It's been a week !

You dont have any stats on your profile which makes it difficult to comment. Also you will be bloated from the surgery.

As long as you are sticking to the programme, it will start dropping off soon.

Best of Luck

I know it's frustrating at first but hang in there and be patient. I always felt like I would be the "one" person that even the surgery couldn't save! I was so resistant (prior to surgery) to losing weight. My body just refused to let go, no matter how much I exercised or how little I ate. It will take a little time to recover from the fluids pumped into you and sometimes you will stall. It's ok, it's all normal and part of the process. I have been on these boards for about 6 months and I have yet to hear even one person say they didn't eventually start losing. It will happen. Just stick to what you're supposed to do. Most important, get your fluids and your Protein. I'm 5 months out and on weeks where my Fluid is especially low or I don't get as much Protein, I will stall. Your only job now is to focus on those and when you do (once your body is out of shock), it will start to drop.

Hi I'm 1 week post op. Since I started my pre op diet on the 12th Jan til today I've lost 11lb but yes still feel bloated. Just struggling with the pureed foods. I've had Soups mash jelly and ice cream

Any ideas. I can't stand the thought if liquidised meat and I don't like porridge or wheetabix...I know...I'm a pain. Lol. X

You have to remember you won't see it coming off for quite awhile. You'll notice it on a scale before you'll see it in the mirror.

I am 1 week post-op also... the scale says I have lost 11 pounds, but I don't see it in the mirror at all.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
