I had the gastric sleeve on Oct 30 and have not lost any weight since the initial 10 lbs. I'm eating right, but not exercising. Also, my water intake may be lower than required. I'm hypothyroid and that may be one of the reasons I'm not losing any weight. But this is so frustrating. The nutritionist wants me to wait for 2 more weeks before discussing options, to allow the stomach to heal. I did post here before and people said I maybe a slower than average loser. But I don't see the scale moving at all. I'm not sure what to do.

Weight loss does not happen overnight. 262 and goal 160. Take this one day at a time. The weight will come off. It's a process. It's not how fast the weight comes off.

Are you walking for exercise? Have you been released to exercise?

Sorry to be so blunt about it, but are your bowels moving regularly? That was my problem early on. I have fibromyalgia and lyme disease and are on quite a bit of pain medication, which made it difficult to go to the bathroom. I gained whatever food I was eating, because I wasn't getting it out. Once I was able to up my water intake and start taking a medication to move everything along, the weight started to come off, and I began to melt. I am post op 11/28/16. By mid March of 17, everything was sorted out. hope this helps.

@jenn1 No restrictions on exercise, except I don't do any. Have to start. @dr3am3rstarz My bowel movements are normal. Thanks guys for posting your suggestions. Helps a bit. I'll be patient.
