3 weeks post op Scales not moving



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone I had Gastric Sleeve surgery on September 2nd 2020. My Highest weight was 216lbs my weight day of Surgery was 207lbs. 3 weeks post op and I’m staying consistent at 195lbs which is basically the same weight I was after surgery. It’s hard most days for me to get in all of my Protein and liquids as of now I can drink at least 25oz-30oz of liquids and with my height and weight I’m suppose to be consuming 70 grams protein 64 oz of Water according to my doctor . She also told me my Protein Shakes would be considered with the liquids. Still I can o my drink 30z most days I can finish only 1 Premier Protein shake .


I’m curious am I not loosing any weight because I’m not consuming enough protein?! Just very worried feel like I’m failing this procedure .

do a search on the three week stall. Happens to almost everyone. There are literally like 15,000 posts about it here on BP. Just stick to your plan and stay off the scale if you have to - and know that it WILL break. It usually lasts 1-2 weeks.

Same here!! Same date, too. I am told by EVERYONE this is normal. So...thank the good Lord for that news! I have seen so many other changes that I must be doing something right. And I'm sure you see it in other areas, too. Right? And the changes in my moods and energy along with all the changes in my selfies lol have been awesome! How about you? Frankly, I want to throw the scales in the trash compactor.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
