Hi - I am 9 days post op from a gastric sleeve.  I lost a pound a day last week.  But my last recorded weight loss was at my Thursday morning weigh in.  Since then the scale hasn't budged in 3 days.  I have a digital scale, so it records ounces as well.  Haven't even lost in the ounces category, with a daily caloric intake well south of 1000 calories.  Yesterday I had a smoothie at 245 calories, 1 bottle of protein water (80 cal), 1 protein shake (110 cal), and two bowls of soup broth at 60 each (120 calories).  So between 550 and 600 calories, and didn't drop an ounce.  I am feeling scared that I have gone heavily into debt, and even this intervention will end in failure.  Has anyone experienced this early on?

Hi everyone - I had a gastric sleeve performed on March 16.  I lost only 4 lbs pre-op, which given my lack of compliance with diets wasn't surprising.  Since surgery I have been weighing myself daily, something I have not done in a long, long time (my scale was only seeing action a few times a year).  I was doing well, losing weight daily.  I am currently on liquids and protein shakes.  Lost a pound Wed to Thursday for a total of 9 llbs post op.  Its now Sunday and I haven't lost an oz since Thursday.  Yesterday I had a smoothie worth 245 calories for breakfast, one protein shake for 110 aclories, protein water - 80 calories, half a bottle of vitamin water - zero calories, soup - 60 calories - so approximately 500 calories, and didn't lose any weight.  This is frightening for me as I have gone into debt for this, and if this fails I don't think anything will work.  Has anyone else hit a plateau this soon after surgery?
