not loosing weight Not loosing weight after sleeve surgery!!!!

[Gigig 0]

I had sleeve surgery on 01/05/17 and I haven’t lost any weight. I weight exactly the same thing as I did before the pre-surgery liquid diet. I am so frustrated! I even feel heavier. In addition, my face is breaking out which it never did even as a teenager. Also, I have had a severe headache for over a week. Please help! Is this normal? I called the doctor office and I always get the same answer...”it is normal”. I wish they had mentioned this problem before I had surgery.

You had your sleeve a year ago?

It's understandable that you're frustrated. I felt frustrated with my weight loss post-surgery too. Although our situations differ, there are similarities:. I lost 8 lbs. week following surgery, then 0 pounds, then gained 1 pound. I was urged by a fellow member to write every bite down as if I'm consuming more than I think I am but I know how little I can get in. It was unbelievable how (still is) little I was eating with no results. I wasn't prepared for that...then, the following week I lost 9 lbs. So, it will start to come off. I had headaches every day for 3 weeks. Mine were not horrible but they hurt.

It's easy to get discouraged. The weight will come off. Hang in there. I'll bet weight loss is just around the corner.

So, you have had 54 or 55 weeks with no change and your clinic or surgeon is not helping you? Right?

Have you been keeping a paper food diary at home or say, a MyFitnessPal food & exercise diary online?

A careful tracking may help your surgeon or team assist you.

Just to note that the original poster said 01/05/17 in his/her post, but his/her info on the side says 01/05/18, which I suspect is the real date.

And for that poster, I'll tell you what my doctor told me originally--don't even think about your weight loss. Just concentrate on getting your Water, your Protein, your Vitamins, and your exercise. I thought that was a bit silly--after all, I had the surgery to lose weight--but I will say that I've had a number of quite long stalls along the way. But I've still lost 71 pounds so far. As someone pointed out, we didn't put the weight on at the rate of a pound every day, so don't expect to lose like that. It takes time and happens in fits and starts, but if you follow the plan, it WILL happen.

What was the exact date of your surgery? In 2017? Or 2018?
