    Default Weight loss stopped

    I had my sleeve on the 21st of June and lost 20 pounds rapidly but for the last 7 days I have not lost any. I am really concerned that I am doing something wrong. Anyone else have this happen or know what may be going on.

    Totally understand your frustration. You are experiencing the dreaded stall! They are normal and SUPER frustration. They make you doubt yourself. Your body is just adjusting. As hard as it is don't focus on the scale and more on how your clothes are fitting or ease of movement. The scale will come around.

    Yes, the dreaded 3 week stall. It happens to mostly everyone and also does not mark the end of losing. Keep doing the right things in the right amounts, you will see the scale move again.

    Drink as much water as you can one day...it can help get you past the stall (which is often your cells holding onto water)

    Default Re: Weight loss stopped

    I haven't really lost anything during my 3rd post-op week, but I can tell a difference in the way my clothes are fitting- maybe tmi but I need to buy some new undies!!!

    I lost about 20lbs the first two weeks post-surgery and am hovering around 272-273lbs right now. I am just going to keep eating/drinking the right things and I know it will start up again. It's physiologically impossible to eat so little as the sleeve allows and to not lose weight. Hang in there!

    Welcome to the 3rd week stall! Mine hit me the 2nd week and I'm going through one now at 9/10 weeks post op. It will pass just keep doing what you are suppose to and the scale will move again. Your body is just adjusting. You will keep getting smaller even if the evil scale says different.

    My first stall was for three weeks! I was very frustrated, but since then I've learned that the scale will eventually move again. You will experience stalls, but as long as you keep your eating on track and regularly exercise, you will start losing again. Your body is adjusting.
