So I’m barely three weeks out and hit a stall as early as the second week.... I only lost like 6 lbs the first week and one pound the second week... gained a pound mid third week and then lost it.... but that’s it! I think my surgeon didn’t calibrate me properly... I asked for maximum restriction (bougie 32) and he said that was too much for me... he said he would probably do a 36... I’m concerned it’s not enough restriction I can eat almost normal so I must exercise a lot of willpower... I feel so frustrated and defeated... I feel like this is just another hard diet to do and I’m right back at the same place like when I would diet, stall, binge and on and on we go.... I weigh 198.8 and that’s were it seems to want to stay...

So I just got home from my first follow up (I was sleeved on the 24th). They told me over an over to not get upset if my weight loss just stalls in the next two weeks. Apparently this is really common and it’s just the body taking a breath and “catching up”. You’ve had lots of changes in there, you’re not doing anything wrong. You should start losing again soon.
