I was sleeved 4/22 and lost 15 lbs in the first two weeks, which I was thrilled with. Now I've been stuck at the same weight for the last week straight.

I walk daily, drink ~7 cups of liquid a day, get 60-75 g of Protein, and am sitting around 1000 calories usually.

I know this is normal and my body is playing catch up and everything. Just wondering everyone else's experiences with this. Anyway for me to help that scale move? Or about when did it start moving for you again?

I had surgery on the 22nd also. I have lost 15 pounds. I have not lost any weight since hitting 15. I do notice that my clothes are fitting me differently all over though. I am only able to get in about 700 calories a day. I have my 3 week post surgery checkup tomorrow so maybe I can get some insight from my doctor. But actually 15 pounds in 3 weeks is not all that bad.

Add me to the list- Sleeved 4/23 and have lost 18 pounds. I had hit 20 pounds lost by day 14 but gained 2 pounds back this week even though I started exercising. I guess this stall in normal. I did measure today and my waist has decreased 5 inches- a total of 17 inches overall (neck, chest, arm, waist, hips, thigh)! I'll take that. I dropped off some papers the week before surgery and I never returned for pick up. I went today to get them and the lady (whom I've met several times) had no clue who I was! I almost kissed her! Hoping that gives me the boost to ride this stall out.

I didn't think I would be the one to post about a stall,, but I stayed the same from 3 weeks post op to 5 1/2 weeks. We just got back from a one week cruise and voila, I dropped 3 pounds in the cruise. The only thing I can think of was that I made an effort to grt in all my Water since it was hot. How can you NOT lose weight on 800cal/day? It's gotta come off...

I was in a stall from week 3-5. Ugh it was so depressing! Kinda still is but in the past 2 days the scale has moved!! Yeah! I'm kinda new so I can give too much advice but I have been sticking to the nutritionist recommendations and have been moving more. Good luck!

Colemon70 i am stalled too what did you do to break it

Well I just stuck to what I was doing, counting cals, carbs, Protein. I uped the gym time and I had a day where I didn't count cals! The next day, I was down 3lbs! I'm now back to counting and tracking but I have hope again! Oh getting in a lot of water!

Add me to the list too! Since being sleeved on 4/24 i have lost 10 pounds only. I am working out daily,drinking 69 grams of Protein and at least 60 oz of Water. I have lost several inches though,i just dont understand why the scale has not moved. Pre op i lost 25 lbs in 14 days doing the same thing..so frustrating...

We all lose based on our biology. Hang in there. The scale will start to move. I was sleeved late February and lost 13 pounds the first week, then nothing for THREE WEEKS. I followed every rule and recommendation. It's just our bodies adjusting. The best thing you can do is not focus on it. Weight will come off. It's a math problem. It will. Just wait for it.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
