Not Losing Weight

I was sleeved on march 22nd. I have lost 30 pounds on the dot and am at 275. The scale has not moved in 5days!!! Has anyone else had this problem? It's so depressing. I get up every morning and it was fluctuated from 277 to 274. What is going on!!! I don't see how I'm not losing because I'm barely eating anything! :-(

    My dr wants me to stay at 600-800 cal per day for at least a year so you may want to watch your calorie intake. I am a process operator at a plant and tried on my nomex yesterday for the first time si

Try to get all your water and protein and walking in. By the way 30 is great, I'm one day before you on 3/21/12 and down about 16lbs

You lost 30 lbs in two weeks???

I was sleeved on 3/7 ... Lost 19.5 pounds And have been sitting at the same weight for 9 days now.... So you are doing great if you have already lost 30!!!

I lost really fast in the beginning. I was sleeved 12/7 and lost 21 pounds that month. I go through periods of not losing weight for a week, then I will lose 8 pounds total for the month. I know it is frustrating, but your body is going thru alot right now. You will start losing again.

Do a search on the site for 3 week stall. It is quite common.

I stalled almost exactly at three weeks too. Many do. The scale will move again soon.

You are doing great! I was sleeved on 3/12 and I have lost 15 pounds. I'm really hoping for a bigger loss this week, I seem to be losing pretty slow. 30 pounds in 2 weeks is great!!!!

I'm thinking a lot of it is water weight. Everyone is telling me they can tell losing inches but when the scale doesn't move it is depressing. Congrats to everyone! How are y'all feeling? I am so amazed at how little I can eat. I made some scrambled eggs and ate them for the first time and was done after only a couple of bites!!! I am holding everything down so far. Gaining energy back surely but slowly.

I am starting my 3rd week and I have been stalled for about 5 days now. I understand your frustration. Everyone on here says it will pass. I am ready for it too. I like seeing the pounds melt off..the stall is quite annoying :(

I get a natural high when I see the scale drop!! I started at 305 and 275 is not being nice to me at all!!! I can't understand how I'm not losing if I'm barely eating. But it seems to be pretty common.
