Is this normal?

Hello,

I'm 23 days out since I had my Sleeve. I lost 10 pounds before surgery and only 11 pounds after surgery. I wanted to know if thats normal. I feel like I should be losing more weight. Also does anyone else experience pulling by there incision. Whenever I bend over a little I feel this pulling and it hurts. How long is that suppose to last for?

Thanks

Don't know about the second question. But if you search two wek stall, three week stall, no early weight loss etc., you will be reassured by the literally hundreds of people finding the same as you, 

Your weight loss is normal.  Sometimes we gain weight immediately after surgery, and you can even stall at three weeks out.  Just stick to the plan and the weight will come off.  We all lose at different rates, and in different patterns.  Don't freak out!

As far as the pulling by the incision, you're probably still healing.  If it becomes worrisome, call your surgeon's office.

Congratulations on your progress to date.  

My loss is very strange (but wonderful!). I will lose nothing, the down 3, then nothing, then down 3. It's usually/hopefully about 3 a week but nothing is in stone. I have some annoying stalls!  It will happen :-)

about the incision, absolutely normal!  I was a little freaked out and asked my surgeon. He said, "absolutely normal!"  It lasted about a month, I guess. Maybe a little longer. 

Okay. thanks so much for your help!

I asked my surgeon yesterday at my 3 week visit what is the average amount of weight lost during the first couple of months. He said the average is about 15 a month, so I wouldn't be too worried.

Okay, that's good to know. I think I'm being a little to worried. Thanks for your help!

you have lost 21# in 23 days. What were you expecting?

Well actually I've only lost 11 pounds in 23 days. I've just heard of people losing 20 to 30 pounds in the first month that's why I'm kind of freaking out. 

whay aren't you counting your preop loss . It is still a loss...
