I have been careful not to weigh myself unless at the doctors office. This weekend I was at my in laws and stepped on their scales out of curiosity, and at first one of the two scales said I had gained 1.7 pounds and the second said I had lost .5 a pound. I thought, this has to be wrong! But now it’s eating at me. How could I not lose weight on week two, eating liquids and purees?!

Hi there

Panic not! They pump so much liquid into you during surgery that many people gain a few pounds. Stick to your plan and I promise you, it will start to drop away soon.....

Same exact thing happened to me. I know this doesn’t sound logical, but when I started drinking all 64 oz of fluids per day, the weight started to decrease again. Also, it helps me to stay at around 800 calories per day and make certain to get 60 grams of Protein.

Hang in there!

I'm in the same boat! Sleeved 5/9

I lost 2 pounds a day for first 7 days, then nothing for the last week.

Hanging in there, but it's frustrating. I was hoping for a little bit more at the beginning to keep me motivated.

I am in this same boat now. I lost 10lbs the first week, gained 2lbs back, and have been stalled for the last 6 days.

How long did it take before the weight loss started again for you guys? I am hoping that this is just the famous 3 week stall early!

I am in Oregon too. I had my sleeve done at Good Samaritan Hospital. The care there was excellent.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
