I am really frustrated lately. I’m 2 months post op... My last post op appointment with my surgeon was February 19, and since then I’ve only lost 3 pounds! Is this normal????
I’ve been bouncing back and forth between 313 and 311 on the scale. I try to only weigh in 2 times a week.
I’ve lost a total of 58 pounds so far.
My caloric intake is between 900-1100 calories per day and I’m taking in 50-64 ounces of unsweetened iced tea per day. (I hate drinking water, and digestive system does not accept artificial sweeteners... IBS, sorry for TMI) I do drink one cup of coffee per day with 1 teaspoon of dairy free creamer as well. I do not drink protein drinks due to extreme nausea but substitute solid proteins to compensate to be sure I’m getting enough protein daily. (Canned tuna or chicken in water for example)
Due to lymphedema I will be seeing a physical therapist at the end of the month for an evaluation. Hopefully this will give me a kick start and get things moving again. But would love to get some suggestions from the gastric sleeve community in the meantime.
This stall has lasted too long in my book, and I’m just feeling defeated. It would be nice to know I’m not the only one going through this alone. Thanks in advance for any input!

I'm only at 46 days, but I have already experienced a stall for like 2.5 weeks. Like you I kept going up and down 3 lbs. I was getting really depressed about it too. But the doctor said (and from what I've read here) is that this is pretty common. The is a lot going on in our bodies right now that can seem like we are not losing weight. From swelling, water retention, constipation, and just your body adjusting to this new calorie intake. He said not to worry, the weight would start going down again soon enough and it did. This is when I started taking my measurements. I have lost 1 inch in each of my thighs and 4 at my waist. It is a consolation when the scale is not moving much. I bet when you start seeing the PT you will see your weight going down a lot faster again.

6 week stall here. 750-1000 calories. Protein intake 55-63 a day,hard to get more in.

Stalls are normal, albeit frustrating. It really does start moving again. I'm just 3 months post-op and thinking things were going so slowly, but in reality any downward movement is good movement and the stalls only lasted a couple of weeks and now things are moving really well again. It'll happen. Trust the process.
