I'm between 2-3 weeks post op and literally have not lost anything since surgery. I weigh exactly the same as I did the day of surgery. Granted I lost all the surgical fluids and IV fluids that were pumped into me the two days in the hospital. Those fluids came off within days though. The three people that were sleeved the same day as I was have all lost between 11 and 24 pounds. They did have substantially higher BMI's than I did however, I'm the only one of the 4 of us that walks daily and I follow the program diligently. Is this common, the no loss part? On a lighter not, at least I won't have to worry about the dreaded 3 week stall. Protein intake? I aim for 90 per day with ease. I have regular bowel movements, drink minimum of 70 ounces of fluids 75% is water. 50% of that is with lemon. Sleep well and feel no different now than I did pre op. I feel great. Your thoughts?

Everyone just says 'keep following the plan'. I can't offer anything as I am not there yet!! But hang in there....

Having the same problems. No weight loss yet.
Feeling great. Walking, sticking to my full liquids plan, 2weeks post op. What the heck????

I am dealing with the same thing not a pound loss since October 16th surgery day! I am trying to stay focus and stick to my surgeons plan I’m about to be on week 4 of my liquid diet, WEEK 4 OF ALL LIQUIDS AND NO WEIGHT LOSS smh! Really trying not to focus on the numbers but it is hard! Hang in there you are not alone!

I’m two weeks out and lost 21 pounds but now I’m at a stall. I suggest talking to your Nutrionist and/or doctor. They may have do something different. Are you exercising?

Stay the course. ((hugs)) I struggle with loss while on all protein drinks. I build up fluid cuz they can be insulinogenic. I don't think I will really start losing until I'm able to get my insulin back down again while eating real food. That may take 3-5 weeks after surgery.

You might want to talk with your nutritionist about how much protein you should be taking in. Mine told me between 70 and 80 grams a day. She said if i have too much i could gain weight.
