So discouraged! I lost 17 lbs my first week post op and hardly anything since. I was sleeved on 9/12. Disappointing!!!!

Don't be disappointed - that is 17 pounds!!!! 17 pounds you no longer have. It will take your body time to catch up. Give it time....

Good Luck on the journey! I am being sleeved on Wednesday, 10/3/12.

I stalled at the end of week 2 for 2 whole weeks! I was so mad I put myself thru this just to lose 20 lbs and stop?? But then i just starting losing again. So I know it's discouraging but try to stay away from the scale and go by how your clothes are fitting. The weight will come off but for some reason the inches come off faster

Thanks guys!!! It is just so discouraging because I am so big, everything still fits the same. :-/

17 lbs is great. I stalled the first week after surgery. But then I started losing slowly but surely.

Also at a little over 2 weeks ur belly is still swollen ( well atleast mine was) so I couldn't tell difference in clothes til week 4. It will happen we just have to be patient (which I have a hard time with...haha)

I don't know if my belly is still swollen or not. I have always been big so it is hard to tell. But I am hoping one day I will just be surprised!!!

I am right there with you! I am two weeks out today. I lost 10 pre op and 10 post op and here I sit with no more lost! I can't help but think I am ruining my metabolism. I eat maybe 400 calories a day. I am sure my body has gone into shut down mode and is hanging onto every single pound and calorie. I am really hoping I will wake up very soon and it will all catch up with me. My walks have been slow and not a real work out so I am going to step it up this week and see if that helps. You are not alone!

I did the same and then I didn't weigh for a week and when I did I lost 15 more lbs. in 1 week. I no longer weigh every day. No more stressing over it. I just eat right and let it come off in it's own time. I am now in week 6 and down from size 22 to 18 that are getting loose. It will happen.

Same thing happened to me right at two weeks (is this a thing??) and I just increased my calorie intake a little. Then the weight started to fall off again. Be aware of your measurements, too! Sometimes it's showing up there and not the scale due to water weight and things like that.

I had surgery same day as kmwheel and I also stalled at just before 2 weeks LOL but then a few days later BAM I dropped 3 lbs LOL I think our bodies are saying "OMG what is happening?! I need to adjust" keep the faith, EVERYONE goes thru stalls!

I found a good article on Stalls-

It is a "thing." It's called the 3 week stall. Most people get it. It will end on it's own very soon. Read the link in my sig. Good information about why you are stalling.
