Oh the wonderful stalls....I understand your frustration! I stalled about about a week and a half when I was about 3 weeks post op. I thought I would be the only one out there that the sleeve didn't work for :( There are a lot of people that run into the same thing!! Although it is frustrating as heck, keep your head up and know you will overcome it! Just a bump in our wonderful journey to becoming healthy!

I was sleeved 10/2. I dropped 23 pounds in my first 10 days. Then nothing for 3 weeks. I realized I don't know why it just happened. Finally I started eating some more and the weight started again. I'll be 6 weeks on tues and I'm down 40lbs. With me it was me not eating enough. But hang in here it's aggravating but it will start again. And dont weigh everyday that will drive you crazy. Lastly remember you can be losing inches even if you aren't losing lbs.

I think that's what it is not eating enough ... But why I eat I feel like I'm not gonna lose like I'm cheating :/ && the other thing is I have been tracking my weight daily and it does make me crazy when I don't go down.. And my dad asks me everyday u lose another two? How much u down today? I know he is just trying to be encouraging but it adds to my insanity! Thanks you guys for your words!! I'm going to try getting back to eating every 4 hours! && drinking way more water!

I only stalled for 4 days because my body is rejecting all foods. i want it then once it hit my tongue my body says no. my doctor said i was not eating enough to loose. So i went back to Popsicle, jelly and broth. it jump started me back and my body is slowly liking food.

I bought hot pockets, burritos, and Vienna sausage. My body seems to like these slightly pureed the sausage I can eat two with a cracker. Also baby Snacks, the melt away and my body loves them.

I was sleeved the same day as you and the EXACT reason you stalled is y I stalled, not eating enough.

It's absolutely normal. It's definitely the week 3 stall. I stalled for about 10 days around the same time frame. Stay positive you'll get moving along again. :)

Tell dad that asking about pounds lost isn't encouraging. He should ask how you're feeling, if you ate enough Protein today, or if you got your walking done.
