I'm a little depressed. I'm only two weeks out and lost 15 pounds the first week. Not a single pound since then. Am I eating too much? Doing something wrong? Soo frustrating

I think your body is in shock and catching up. Don't worry.

Don't worry. I am almost 6 weeks out. Lost 15 lbs the first 2 weeks. Then nothing since then. I just figure that my body is in shock. It will come off eventually:)

Almost everyone experiences the "three week stall". Search for it and you will see. Just keep eating on plan and the weight will come off!

I am the same way! Lost on preop and first week then - nothing! Been 16 days since surgery and I can eat almost any well chewed Protein and even well chewed junk. Trying to refocus and not be too hard on myself- after all I am on 16 days in.

I've lost 32 lb's including pre op weight loss, up until 3 weeks after surgery. Then, 3 weeks of no weight loss. Frustrating but I'm hanging in there :)

Are you drinking enough Water? Dr told me yesterday that if I don't hydrate enough my body will go into hoarding mode and store unwanted pounds. It's our bodies way of protecting itself from starvation.

Oh, I feel your pain! I'm five weeks out iand in a major stall after loosing 30 total, 17 of which have been post surgery. It's so frustrating. I think I'm doing everything right, but it makes me wonder. How long do these stalls last? I have hashimotos disease also, but I'm taking my thyroid meds......

Stalls happen! Kind of need the tshirt for us sleevers - ya know...instead of sh** happens!! :) I stalled at week 3, and now again at 4 months out! I haven't lost a pound in 2 weeks - and I started exercising this week with the couch to 5k program! I am increasing my Water and I am going to start journaling my food and being REALLY careful with carbs (a few too many little crackers and chips may have been sneaking in!)

I refuse to stress though.....honestly, if I never lost another pound, I wouldn't freak out! I am the smallest I have been in a dozen plus years, I am healthier than I have ever been. I like the way I look, and can't IMAGINE being smaller....so if it happens - what a blessing!

AT my current weight and height, I am still considered obese until I am under 200 pounds,,,then have to be 180 to be at a normal weight...that is my goal. I just refuse to freak out anymore. I am so thankful for this tool and the progress I have made...

I know you think it won't work for you...but it will. Take some deep breaths and relax...it WILL WORK! We have failed so many times before, we just can't believe it -

it is amazing....I know!

God bless you and hold on - it's a heck of a ride! :)

Dr told me to monitor calories and try to get 1000 per day..... I'm not even close! All I have been watching is Protein and vitamins... Dr said I am not eating enough to lose weight! Go figure- from too much to not enough in 5 short weeks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
