I am 12 days post op gastric sleeve. I am new to to the group. I have lost 15lbs since surgery date. I am concerned because I have not lost weight the past two days. Is this normal?
Try not to focus on the weight you're losing. You've just had major surgery that is affecting many of your organs, not to mention your basal metabolism. I've mentioned "adaptive thermogenesis" many times. It's more commonly known as "starvation response." Your body notices that you're not burning food at the same rate, and you're probably eating much less food, so it kicks into gear to make sure you don't die. It's very common; almost everyone has an early stall that scares them.I am 12 days post op gastric sleeve. I am new to to the group. I have lost 15lbs since surgery date.
