Your body was probably full of fluids for that first week after surgery so you probably lost that and then the two lbs were just the beginning for the "real" weight loss. I gained 7 lbs from the fluid from my surgery so you've probably actually lost quite a bit this first week and now it will be downhill from here.....at least until your first stall, which is okay, because stalls come and go. Don't stress about it because stressing will slow down your weight loss. Everything will be okay :flowerforyou:

Hang in there! You know that following the process laid out for you will result in the results you seek. When it gets tough, focus on the process, not the scale.

We've got your back when you need to vent!

my day of surgery weight was 344. I got sleeved 5/14/14 and I'm still not out of the 300s.

Patience, grasshopper.

Congratulations on your weight loss. That is more in 2 weeks than I have lost on my own in 2 years. I can't weight for my surgery. I am scheduled mid September. I can't wait. Keep up your good work. I wish I could do all of the walking that you are doing.

You had surgery practialy yesterday!!! Give yourself a chance to take a breath and adapt to all the changes. Follow your plan and you will loose it- I can promise you that :smooched:

I had mine on March 19th, and while I've lost a lot - and at a good pace- I didn't really "feel" it until I'd dropped about 50lbs and saw how my clothes fit- when things I could hardly zip or button suddenly fell off - then it was "real" to me, even though the scale had been saying it for a while. You will have your moment soon!

I started this at 386, weighed 365 at surgery date, didn't hit 299 for months! True I had more to lose than you to start, but it did happen, I got out of the 300s and now I am 24 little pounds from Onederland! Hang in there girl! It will happen. Remember we all lose at different rates, some faster, some slower. Our journey's are similar but not identical. You really can't compare your journey too closely to other people's or you will go crazy. So be patient with yourself, follow the plan, move your body, and you will get where you want to be.

My body did this too. I lost 25 pounds on my one week clear liquid diet prior to surgery and the at my one week post-op appt, I was only down 2 pounds from day of surgery. I just attributed it to the saline IVs and having such a drastic lost pre-surgery that my body had already ridded itself of excess fluids.
Don't worry, the weight loss will come as long as you sick to your doctor's diet and exercise program.

Please please please give yourself a little bit of a break!!! You JUST had surgery sweetie! You're body went through a major trauma and it is still healing! I know how frustrating the numbers can be- they mess with your head and it is really difficult to push past it.

Here is the truth though- it will take time, even with sleevie on board. You will stall, probably around 3 months (a common time for many vsg'ers) and probably a few times after that. The stall will suck and you'll hate everything to do with everything, especially your sleeve- but then it will break and you'll be bff's again. There will be days/weeks that you gain (how the heck did that happen?!?!?) especially when TOM arrives and there will be weeks that you lose way more than you expected cause you cheated a little.

I guess my point is that this is forever now, and that is not a bad thing. You just need to accept that it isn't going to be fast and stop berating yourself for small losses. Small losses are how you are going to win the race, each pound was worked hard for and earned!
