2Nd Week Stall?

Okay, I am 10 days out, 13 lbs down since surgery...I have not even lot and ounce in 5 days. I transitioned to soft foods, did chat a little and have some tuna and chicken but not more than 1/4 cup either time. My blood sugar has been out of whack and I was weak and light headed only on grits and shakes. I joined the gym today since i was given the green light to go ahead and do the treadmill. I need to know if anyone has any suggestions on how to get out of this slump! Thanks in advance!

Congratulations on your decision to have the sleeve!~ I am now 8 weeks out and this is the best thing I have ever done for myself... About the stall...my doctor told me for weeks 3 and 4 most people experience a stall. (In other words, it is completely normal to not have any weight loss during those weeks because your body is still recovering from a big loss the first two weeks). Sounds like you are doing everything right just keep doing it and it will eventually start back. I an in another stall now and have been for almost two weeks but I keep eating right and going to the gym because i know eventually it will change... You can do it

I've had the same thing happen. I am seeing my size change though so just keep going. I lost 9 pounds my first week and then I've lost 2 pounds since (I'm 3.5 weeks out) - absolutely nothing during week two. At the same time I've gone from an 18/tight 16 pre-op to a loose 14/snug 12 now so something is definitely changing :).

I am doing the same thing also. i am 4 1/2 weeks post-op and I stalled at week 2 and since I have only lost a couple of pounds. I am losing inches and dropping clothing sizes. I have went from 3x in shirt to xl in shirt from 22/24 to 14/16 in pants. Hang in there. That is what I am having to do. I know it is frustrating as can be though.

Thanks so much to all three of you! I am glad I am not alone and that even if the scale isn't moving atleast the clothes are still getting loose! I wish you all the best!

Don't look at the scale, this is about your health n your knew life. I know it's hard, I'm almost 3 months out and i used to check the scale all the time. Now I check once a week, it's inevitable that we are going to keep losing and stalls are guaranteed to come n go because our bodies get used to patterns. 7 weeks out n I'm down 53 lbs, it will happen (:
