So prior to my post op appt on Tues I was losing roughly a lb a day...not too bad BUT since then I all of a sudden I gained 1.8lbs!! I am guessing this could probably be water gain because finally over the last few days I have been able to get all my protein in and I have been eating roughly 800-900 calories a day...I could probably stand to drink some more h2o which I will do today...but I just want to see if this is what everyone else has been going through...any thoughts???

I actually gained 5 lbs at thw start of my 3rd week I felt horrible and withing the past two days I a lost the 5 plus an extra lbs I make 4 weeks tomorrow it will come off don't worry I know I did

Stalls are common for me but I have a metabolism problem that is genetic and meds don't help alot - the sleeve has saved me. I don't fret the stalls, now I just wait them out.

It probably will not be like this for you, but I have been in stalls, if you add them up, for about half the time since surgery - but I am still losing, and one thing I have noticed - I have nowhere near the saggy skin that I expected. The stalls have been a good thing in that way.

I can see the difference in pictures, but still feel bigger than I am - but check out my pics, if you would like- maybe reassure yourself this is possible even with stalls.

Good luck!

The weather right now, the high heat and humidity is causing many a stalls right now. You think - wow, it's hot out, i'm sweating, I'm going to lose weight...wrong. Sometimes the weather has a way of causing you to hold onto more water.

I lost 1-2 pounds every few days. Every day I weighed less - even if it was 8 ounces less I weighed less or stayed the same. I am drinking the same amount of liquids. I will be 5 weeks out come Monday. I gained 1 pound on 450 calories and my exercise = erased all those calories. One day it said I weighed 211 the next day back down to 207 then the next few days I have been 208.2 - 208.8. I am back down to 207 but I can guarantee you after I just watered the yard just now I am back to 208.

The weather is often part of it. Eat & drink the way you are suppose to and eventually it will break. I first thought it was the full moon (I always weight more right before the full moon and right after) and that just happened too.

I feel you, I was about to pop for a bit yesterday because I'm like seriously it's been days on end without any movement, but the daily weight loss had to stop, and the stall has to end too.

Good luck.
