I had a stall 3 weeks after my surgery (2/10/15)...for 2-3 weeks! But I am happy to report that I stopped getting on the scale and noticed that my body started feeling smaller. Even during that non-weight loss period, I was able to get into smaller pants! AND...I lost 4lbs a week for the last 2 weeks. Your body is catching up to your weight loss. Just stay positive and keep your head in the game!

Thanks everyone!

Hello! I'm new to BariatricPal and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Elaine and I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 2/10/15. I lost 15 lbs pre-op on my liquid diet and 21 lbs since the surgery. I go for my post-op month appointment with my surgeon tomorrow. I think it's awesome that I lost 36 lbs so far and I can't wait to see more weight loss! I've been stalled for about 2 weeks now with my weight loss and I can't lie...it's been messing with my head a bit. This has happened to me in the past with my other attempts at weight loss. My body doesn't like me to lose anything over 40 lbs apparently. I don't think it will have a choice this time. I started walking during my lunch hour 3 to 4 days a week for now and am looking into joining a gym and meeting with a trainer. I joined this looking for advice and support to keep going. Looking forward to getting to know people and getting some great advice!
