Did you lose much weight the first two weeks?

I'm trying to get a handle on my expectations with just having had the sleeve on the 15th of this month. Did you start to lose right away? How soon before you noticed a significant change?

I think the first week was spent peeing out the IV fluids they pumped me full of in hopsital. The second week I started to see the actual weight loss. It's common to experience a stall about week 3; this typically lasts about a week. In fact, it's common and normal to have periodic stalls in your weight loss, but the famous "week 3 stall" is usually the most frustrating.

This is helpful information, especially coming from the person who lived it, thank you! I'm not quite there yet, but certainly feel more mentally prepared due to your response. I will work hard to not freak out in another two weeks or so if I experience a stall. You're really right about the fluids! Wow, mucho bathroom trips but they have leveled off a bit now. Thanks very much!

In this race the turtle beats the rabbit over 12 to 18 months. I barely lost anything the first few weeks but down 150lbs after a year.

Jmm4321, thanks for this. I always kinda side with the turtle anyway, so I can live with that. The path to better health doesn't have to be speedy, just solid and I'm prepared for that. Thanks for sharing, 150lbs is a real accomplishment!

Not much, but I hope it will get better soon. What do you think about some weight loss aids? Do you think they are good and working? I would like to get some from Canadian Pharmacy soon, and I need your tips and experience. Thank you in advance for all the replies here :)
