Hi I am new to this forum. I had the sleeve procedure in early September. Its been 5 weeks, I've lost 31 lbs. but have not lost any weight in the past two weeks. I've been working out daily, even started jogging recently. Something I havent been able to do for YEARS. Is it possible to plateau this early after the procedure?

Yeppers!! It's actually not a plateau, but a stall -- I stalled for weeks 4 and 5 (losing a grand total of 2 pounds), but like a lot of people who are ahead of us, they started losing right away again. I'm losing again this week. So, just keep plugging away -- you really can't not lose weight with the sleeve if you're doing everything right -- so eventually you will win over the fat Hope this helps!

Oh and welcome!

Thank you!! It's hard not having alot of ppl around me that have had this experience. I'm so glad I found this forum!

I really like how EVERYONE goes through stalls and then starts weight again.. its such an upsetting experience at first. But when I see all these people who have lost 30, 40, 50lbs and keep losing.. it just gives me such motivation and comfort knowing that even through a stall.. (for 3 weeks!!) I will come out ahead.

I also LOVE all of the positive people here. Its so easy to get down on ourself.. but its so nice to come here and know that people will lift you up and are struggling with you.

Have a great day!

FIrst of all you are doing GREAT! And yes stalls are normal, but then you will drop again Just keep going and enjoy the ride knowing you will drop.

When you have a stall, your body is losing inches. Your body has to adjust to the weight loss. If you are not losing lbs, you are losing inches. I look at as a win both ways.

Wow! Thanks for the 411 lil rr...I was at a stall for a week, but my hubby swore I was still losing, we figured it was inches ...I will take it

It's called the three-week stall, but it varies from person to person. I think I stalled from weeks 3-5, but I'm back to losing again. From what I hear you'll go through periods of time where you won't lose any weight, but it'll come back. Just stick with it, keep doing what you're supposed to be doing and the sleeve will take care of the rest!
