3 Weeks Out and Frustrated



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on July 10th and lost 28 pounds in the first couple weeks. I am now on a soft foods diet and doing everything as I should be, but my weight seems to fluctuate between 2 and three pounds. Has anyone else experienced this this early on? Am I worrying too much?

Relax, take a break from the scale, follow the plan. ☺ It took longer than a few weeks to put the weight on.

I went through the exact same thing. First week post op I lost 29 pounds and I was so excited and happy about it, I kept doing everything right and my second week was something around 5 or 6 pounds I think, I was so frustrated, I even told my doctor, he said it's normal, that there will be weeks that you will loose many pounds and other weeks that will seem like you don't see results, but keep doing everything your doctor tells you and you'll keep loosing those pounds.
I used to go on the scale daily, if you're doing that I'll recommend you to change that to once every week or once every ten days, it will keep your mind free and calm and things will be a little easier, or at least it worked that way for me :)

Do a search for week 3 stall. Is notoriously common.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
