Frustrated after gastric sleeve. What am I doing wrong?

in Health and Weight Loss
So I had gastric sleeve on June 27th after many many years of failure. I am so paranoid of failing even with this help. This past week I didn't lose any weight at all. I have measured and weighted all my food. I need help to figure out why I have stalled so early on after surgery. I have trouble working out because I am still adjusting to such low calories and I am frequently tired. Any advice?

    It's not uncommon to have uneven weight loss. One week you might lose 2 lbs, anotheraybe 1 lb, sometimes you maintain or even gain a little. As long as your trend is going down over time, you are doing well. You have just started and many things can cause water retention, like swelling, extra sodium, extra workouts, etc. Is your diary open?

    Yes my diary is open. I was using another app for several weeks but changed back to this app a few weeks ago.

    I tried to look, but it says your feed is private.

    1 week is too short a period to discuss. 4-5 weeks needed.

    Sounds like the 3 week stall! Most people who have bariatric surgery go through this! Your body is healing, you've been through trauma (surgery) and it takes time to settle in! Just follow your program and it should work out :smile:

    We are survey twins! I also went through the stall. Add me back if you like, maybe we can share some ideas!
