Are you going to tell us what your eating. Cant tell what your doing with no info
What has your surgeon said ? Are you drinking enough Fluid?

Weight loss slowed after going onto solids. Now coming off slowly. I am eating 60-90 G Protein, 20 or less of sugar. Can only get in 800 to 1000 calories. I was sleeved on 7/10/17 and am only down 23 pounds. Most of it came off in the first couple weeks.

Swelling! Water weight! PLUS you had your period?! It happens. Don't stress out. If you're doing everything right, it should settle~

You are likely losing inches even if the scale isn't moving which was a big thing for me. There were periods when the scale didn't move for weeks but I went down a whole size or two. If you stick with it and follow your plan it will happen. Make sure you are getting as close to your Protein goal as possible and really hit the fluids.

I have noticed the same thing.
The scale isn't budging but my body looks different. My shirts look too big now and my pants are literally falling off. I have to constantly pull them up at work. I fear the day I am not quick enough while walking to my desk and I end up standing there in my drawers.

      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!!
