Have not lost a single lb:(

Don’t be discouraged. If you follow the guidelines set out by your doctor and nutritionist the weight will come off.

I'm 5 days out and have only lost 1lb. I'm a bigger girl (369 day of surgery) so I expected to lose quickly early on. I also didn't lose much during preopt though I followed it to the letter. There is this fear that you will have done all of this and still not lose. I realize it is still very early so I am trying to give the process time. But I do understand your disappointment. It seems the early losses are what motivate people to get through these tough early days. We will just have to stick it out- we've already come this far!

Oh, I feel for both of u. I feel the exact same way and@ready2live! broke down perfectly the thoughts that are going thru my head. Hell, I'm 3 weeks out and only down 13lbs. I too thought I would lose a good amount of weight relatively quickly, as I am also following my plan to the letter. But alas, I guess my body's on its own timetable. Discouraging as hell too! Makes me doubt my decision daily.
And people keep saying not to worry, don't get discouraged, chill out the lbs will come off, etc, etc. I really hope they're right...

I was still bloated from gas at one week. Give yourself a few more days. It will come off!

I wouldn’t bother much about the weight loss at this moment, focus on recovery instead. I had my sleeve on Wed and feel exhausted. A 20 minutes walk feels like a marathon to me.

Besides, a slower progress is said to be much better and efficient long term - less skin sacks, less stress for your body. just give it some time.

Thank you Temkins. I agree on the walking lol

I am healing up right along side you:)

I wish you a speedy recovery:)

It's so crazy how everyone's body and VSG differ. I had mine 10/03 and am down 15.6 lbs since the 1st. 9 of those lbs. are after the procedure. I try to get at least 5,000 steps in from my daily 10,000. I get too tired to do anything else. I cannot wait to get in the gym.

Me too, but a single walk along the street and back makes me feel extreme exhaustion. The treadmill would just kill me

It’ll happen I was lucky enough to have gained 5 lbs after surgery so I understand your pain but now I am down 40lbs 3 months out. Its coming don’t beat yourself up too bad and make sure to exercise no matter what.
