Yes you will go into a "stall" when your body slows down to catch back up with your weight-loss Just keep doing what you are suppose to be doing and you will start to lose again.

I had my surgery on the 26th of Sept. I hit a stall this past week too and gained 2lbs even. I have now lost the 2lbs. I'm just trying to stick to the program. Right now I am on baby food consistancy. I have dabbled in more solid food here and there with out problems. I look foward to getting the green light on eating most foods. It's hard when you are so limited.

My doctor told me to stick to liquids for 3 weeks I have 2 days left then I'll start eating lol solid foods

One thing I have learned is every doctor is different!!!! I was on clear liquid for one week, full liquid the second week and now pureed food this week. Next week I start soft food, but I have skipped ahead and had a few soft food items. I will not puree meat and drink it so I will sneak bites of grilled chicken or baked fish. I chew like crazy and take small bites. I would stick to what your doctor said tho. There could be a reason why he wants you to do what you are doing.

That's what I'm going to do lol but I have the fact that i haven't lost anything the past 3 days :( ugh lol but loving the pounds that I lost though

Almost everyone stalls at 3 or 4 weeks. I did too. I stalled for 8 days and then started losing .5-1 lb a day.

Dez1975 I would be so happy if that happens lol 5 a day wow can't wait that would be great

Hi- this is probably a strange question but I was sleeved on 9/25 and this past week my gums are swollen and bleeding. I find it odd since I'm not even chewing on anything! It's all liquid! Has anyone else had this problem? I was hoping to lose weight with the sleeve - not my teeth!

Thanks

Are u taking a B12 sup? Bleeding gums can be an indicator of a deficiency of B12. Try a sub lingual..walmart carries them.
