need advice please

i had gastric sleeve done on Aug 17th, and i am currently down a total of 12 lbs. i have been stuck at this weight for about 1 week and i am not understanding why its not coming off. Having soft foods ( purees) and eating small amounts. any advice please.

Search "stalls" and read the answer(s) to your question! 

Use the search feature and scroll through a couple pages of posts and you will see that it happens to everyone

thanks guys!!

First off, up your water intake and protein intake.  Then measure yourself!  Good chance you are losing inches and not pounds right now.

2nd.....don't worry!  The less you worry the less you weigh!

Haaa, good one..i like that!! Unfortunately i still need to learn not to worry.. Yes but you know what you are right, i probably am losing inches...Explain please, whats the purpose of all the protein. I swear its innocent..I hope i dont sound stupid but yes the drs office gave me the diet and i have been following but dont know the reason as to why???? the protein.. thanks for the response. :-))

You might also research "glycogen and stalls vsg"... I know there's a great link out there that explains one reason we might stall.

Also, measure inches, and track everything that goes in your body (grams of protein, carbs, liquid, etc). It's a great habit to get into, and it can be a great tool to figuring out what's going on... if you can improve in an area, if you're getting everything you need, etc.

If you haven't yet, be sure you get the vitamins you need (for once your surgeon has you take them).  At the least you need...

chewable vitamin that totals 100-200% of everything... some take 2X a day
b12 (this is a MUST!)
calcium citrate (buy chewables or petites, easier to swallow). MUST be citrate, not carbonate.

Others add biotin (to help prevent hair loss) and omega-3 fatty acids.
