Hi everyone,

On Monday it will be 4 weeks since my sleeve surgery.

How much should I have lost by now?

I feel like any progress I am making is very slow.

Thank you

My stall if two weeks finally broke. I’m still not getting enough calories but I’ve increased my sleep and happen to lose the nights I get 8 hours sleep ( weird) hope everyone is doing well.

Great to hear!

I'm four weeks post-op as well. Net weight lost since surgery is 21 lbs. and seems to have stalled at 204. But I have a scale that measures body fat and muscle weight and I see that while I'm losing fat, I'm also gaining muscle (I'm working out regularly for the first time in a long time). The muscle gain nearly cancels out the fat loss in pounds. So I try not to despair too much.

At my last visit to the clinic, someone who was seeing me mentioned that our protein levels (thus muscle) takes a deep dive just after surgery. I think the body needs a lot of protein to heal and rebuild.

Hang in there! As long as you're doing the program, you're getting healthier and likely losing a lot more fat than you think you are.

The scale isn’t always an accurate representation where size is concerned.

I had my 3 month post op today and he said losing 40 lbs in 3 months it beyond his expectayions
