Uhh Im stuck on the scale. Im 3weeks post, will be 4 weeks on Monday. Its only showing 13.5 lb loss & over 13 inches. Thats terrible! Im only getting 400-600 calories a day. My doctor wont let me walk or exercise until after 4 weeks.

Any ideas? Has anyone else been like this?

Has anyone had stalls like this?

The dreaded 3 week stall. It's a very well known phenomenon in the world of VSG. Some have it a 2 weeks, others at 4 weeks but the majority have it at 3 weeks. Hang in there and keep following your doctor's orders and it will break. I promise.

been there, done that, we should all buy the t-shirt!!

it will get better................

My month out will be Monday too. Only down 15lbs - feeling the same way!!! This is so frustrating!

It is frustrating! But im not giving up! We can do this!

Same here - 4 weeks Tuesday. Started the stall last week at about 2 1/2 weeks post-op and finally saw some scale movement this morning. Don't know if it'll keep moving, but if I saw the same number AGAIN I was going to go mental.

I'm right there too. Today is 3 weeks and I am down 15 pounds. I weighed in today and only went down 1.6 pounds. I just keep telling myself it is normal since I added a bunch of new stuff this week for food. I know this will pass. Just need to keep positive it will happen. I know I just want me energy!

My surgery date was July 11th and I started at 247lb now 222lb. Remember the slower you lose the weight the better so don't worry everyone is different.

I will be 4 weeks on tuesday18 lbs and 14 in, I haven't lost anything this week either, I am trying not to let it get to me, maybe by next week we all will see a loss? I'm following my plan to the "T", nothing more I can do but keep going, good luck friends!

Hey im the same right here.. Lost 7 pound in one week.. And now only 5 in three weeks.. 11 in total x 4 weeks.. My Dr said that u have to count ur pre op ( two weeks) melting weight too.. He said that we suppost to loose like 25 pounds a month .. I dont know.... We still have a year . Keep it up.. U r going to loose that weight...

My surgery date was 7/11, so I'm 2 days past 4 weeks. My preop starting weight was 216...surgery day was 203. This morning I weighed in at 185.5. I'm pleased with that.

I did have an early setback with a UTI for Nearly a week. I ran a temp for 5 days and just felt like general crap. It felt like all I did was sleep the first week.

Just a few days ago I started feeling like my old self again. Finally!

I hope all other sleevers are doing well. Stick with it and success will come.

In the hospital right now, 2 days post surgery. I'm nervous that I too will be that one sleever that doesn't lose weight. Didn't lose one pound during Pre-op period, but i didnt follow the diet per se. Was stressed out with my job? My doc said right before I went under that I should lose 40 pounds by week 6. That would be awesome, but we'll see.

My surgery was July 16 th. To me i hv lost slowly! I hvnt cheated either but do hv a hard time w liquids. I hv lost 18.9 lbs & 21.5 inches. At least im losing!

Same here, tomorrow I am month post op, down 18 lbs and 18 1/2 inches, I follow my diet to the tee, thought I would have lost a little more, but it still feels good! The compliments are starting to come and that feels really good, we will get there I'm sure!
