I had sleeve surgery done 5.29.17. I've lost 17 pounds lost op however I have been waffling back and forth with the same pound for a week. I am getting 55 grams of Protein a day. Walking on treadmill for 45 minutes daily. And the scale hasn't moved since about 15 days post op. I can't eat much so my calories are around 600 a day. Who doesn't lose weight when obly getting 600 calories? I'm irritated and disgusted. Failure is not an option.

I was sleeved on the 26th and have been in a stall for about a week now. I eat about the same amount as you. I hear its possibly the 3 week stall and that this is normal as your body tries to adjust and heal.

God I hope so. Its not like I need to see 10 pounds gone but the one pound yoyo completely sucks.

I was sleeved on 6/1 and have lost 16 pounds. I have not lost anything in week 3-4. I'm hoping I can see some change in the coming weeks. Keep motivated!

This journey is a series of one stall after another. As long as the trend is downward all is good. I am 5 months post op and down 45 pounds. Seems like I'll go a bit without losing and then one day I wake up down 2 pounds. As long as your staying true to your plan you will drop the weight.

55 g of Protein is not enough but I remember early on I had a hard time getting my protein in. As you heal you will be able to eat more and that helps. I shoot for 60 - 100g a day. Most days I get closer to the 100 mark. At 1 month I was lucky to get 40g.

Congrats on your surgery. Take care

      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? 🤷‍♀️
