I know they say not to weigh the first week out because you will be upset with the weight gain from the iv,s I woke up and weighed in this morning at 342.4 and I was 344.9 when I went in on Tuesday for surgery. I pray That I keep loosing like this. Having a hard time with the Protein Shakes right now it Soup. So peppermint tea and G2 again till tomorrow.

I never gained weight after the surgery either. I also, weighed starting when I got home, for better or worse. It just kept going down slowly.

I'm one of the lucky ones too. I never saw any weight gain after surgery. It's just stead losses each day. Whether it's a few ounces to a pound or more. I'm 8 days post op and down 7.5 pounds from the morning of surgery. I'm bad because I weigh like 3 times a day. I'm trying to tell myself to stop and only weigh in once every week or even bi-weekly.

I too started at 342 and now I'm at 344. I'm still a bit swollen and have a lot of Water gain, so I'm just going to wait it out. I'll be okay and you will too.

When did you guys start your Protein post op? Im 3 days post op and noticed I have gained 2 pounds from when i went into surgery. So that's annoying. Been drinking Water and Powerade zero.

I started the third day..I will say it will take you the whole day to finish your Protein intake..i barely got in my 60 but those shakes helped because they are only 11 oz and 30grams of protein each..

I started my Protein Drinks when I got home from the hospital. You're right, it will take you the whole day to get them down (I have to drink 3) but it can be done. I've been doing well keeping things down including Jello and popcicles. One day at a time. :784_peace:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
