I am in the same boat. I lost 21 lbs before surgery. I am only 2 weeks out and have not lost any weight since surgery. I just keep doing what I'm supposed to and am hoping that at some point the scale will show some losses. Hang in there. I feel your pain.

I'm in the same boat. All week I've been stalled. I lost about 47 pounds in a month (2 weeks pre-vsg and two weeks post), then BOOM, nada for a week. I'm pretty sure it's because my body's going crazy about a lack of calories considering I'm running about a 2,000 calorie defecit per day. When you have restricted caloric intake for a little while, the body loses weight like crazy. Then (thanks, ancestors!) it goes "OSHI... I'M STARVING!" and your metabolism drops and your body goes in to protection mode. There's also replenishing glycogen (short term energy) that requires 8 lbs of Water to go with it.

Stick with what you're supposed to do, but also try to get in some exercise (I was the worst at this until I felt good enough to walk). Other tactics can be eating every couple hours to help your body remember it's not starving and upping your caloric intake to trick the body in to reupping the metabolism. I'm trying the latter two today, though man, does eating make me sick XP

You have to eat to lose. I was on a stall for a couple weeks. Increased my calorie in take and lost 10 lbs in 3 days. It's hard when you are at a phase that doesn't allow much more in your system but remember it will come off. And if the scale isn't moving check your measurements. You can lose inches without losing lbs.

Yeah, it's the eating part that's troublesome. I decided to up my caloric intake to try and get out of my stall and even with my best efforts, I've not even managed 800 calories and I feel like I've done nothing *but* eat all day. Granted, that's about 200 calories more than usual, but it's nowhere near approaching a normal day of calories.
