2 weeks post-op, only two pounds down



Recommended Posts

Hello my name is Andrea I had my sleeve two weeks ago and I have only lost two pounds. This is really discouraging. Is this normal. I am following my dr's orders to the cue. The only think I do cheat is that I put a little honey in my yogurt but everything else is perfect. I'm drinking my Protein and my Water as well as my broths and Soups. I can't believe that after two weeks of only consuming liquids to the equivalent of no more than 800-900 calories a day I saw so little loss. I almost cried when I went to my dr today. What am I doing wrong? I am really depressed about this, especially since I hear of people losing so much weight at the beginning. My weight on the day of surgery was 240 now I'm at 238, :(

I would stay off of the scale for at least a month. Your body is desperately trying to heal, and nothing about the weight you are seeing is likely accurate right now. Just keep to your plan, honor your food stages, and the weight will come off in its own time.

Hang in there.

My heart goes out to you. I gained weight from hospital when I got home...all the iv fluids and inflammation. But it did start coming off about 5 days after I got home.

What did your DR say at the visit?

I'm with blizair...stay off the scale and let your body do what it needs to do.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
