Yikes ... 3 week stall lasted 3 weeks? That is terrifiying to me. I am at the 3 weeks and I too have stalled ... no weight loss for 9 days ... it just defies logic does it not? How can I only eat 700 calories and not lose weight??? I was losing weight before on 1400 calories a day. anyway ... once you break through the stall what kind of weight loss are people seeing? the 3 lbs a week ?

I am doing OK ... hit a stall big time. Was losing about 1 pound per day at first then completely flattened out when I finally got some regular food. I have been very good at measuring and following Dr's orders but it simply defies logic that I could eat 700 calories in a day and not lose weight. Going on 9 days and the scale has not budged. So ... I hit that commonly referred to 3 WEEK stall. Hopefully power through it soon. I have had great energy level and exercise is becoming easier. It is great not having a nagging hunger to sabotage you during the day and night. I must say i still have quite a bit of discomfort when eating. Dr. was not concerned but it makes me very cautious about eating. My tastes and my preferences are completely different. I used to love spicy food ... terrifies me now. Used to love steak ... looks like real labor to me now. Used to love shrimp ... one got stuck at the top of my sleeve and I really dont want to even try again. so far ... fish and a low sodium chicken sausage has been going down well for me for Protein. Everything else is really rough on my sleeve. SW - 290 Pre OP W - 276 Current W - 249

I am in the same boat. The 38lbs in the first month. Started eating normal food , with exercise and no weightloss for 2 weeks. I find it impossible I could eat so little yet somehow dont lose weight or actually gain a pound. I dont even eat a pound or food so it must be water weight. I went from losing a pound a day to nothing in one day. Everyone says these stalls happen from time to time. But it defies logic.
