11 Days Post Op and I think I've laready Hit a Plateau

Mar 27, 2016

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?
