October Sleever - 2 Week Stall! Not Happy!

[pittmom 3]

I was sleeve 10/26, have lost 15 lbs but have been at a stall for the past 2 weeks. What is going on?

Is it possible that this will not work for me?? Devastating!!

You will be just fine....dont worry! Try upping your Water, exercise and Protein, it helped for me! I hit several stalls, I am on a 2 month one right now and I am almost 10 months out but I have been bad, eating great but drinking some wine...ok....more than I should! Best of luck to you!

you will get past it. I hit the stall at 2 weeks post op and stayed on the stall for 4 weeks. It will get better. Just remember the scale can be your enemy. I kept dropping clothes sizes and inches, but not pounds. Now I am losing pounds again. It will change. Hang in there.

What you're experiencing is frustratingly normal. It irritated me (and does still because I'm not ENTIRELY out of it yet. I'll lose one day, then not for the next two) because I'm terribly literal and I'm like "NO, I AM ONLY EATING 600 CALORIES. THERE IS NO WAY I AM NOT LOSING WEIGHT." and then I'd GRRR a lot. But, the fact that a month out from surgery I was down 2 pants sizes and I was like "Okay, so I am losing even if it's not in numbers." so I was more okay with it. I STILL WANT TO SEE DROPPING NUMBERS THOUGH *grumbles*.

My doc sets a goal for your 2 week follow up at 15 lbs. fluids salt, your period could all affect it. Stick to your program and it will come off. I was sleeved on 10/31 and only get on the scale at the surgeons office at this point but when I look in the mirror I don't see changes. When I put on clothes I'm starting to see it. Doc's scales says 18.5 lbs now but it's bound to slow with the diet progression.

You are not alone. Definitely up the Water... get as much as you can in. I sleeved on 9/27/2012. At week 2, I stalled for 10 days. Did not lose an ounce!!! It was frustrating... but after the stall my weight loss started dropping rapidly again. I am 8 weeks post op, down 45 pounds even with that stall. Most people seem to get their first stall during week 2 or 3. So... this WILL work for you.... stay postive...stick to the plan... the weight loss will kick back up for you. Also...my mistake was weighing myself everyday..... don't do this...especially when you're in a stall. It will drive you crazy. I now weight myself once a week...and I love seeing the results.

Good luck to you.... Keep up the great job... You will be successful!!!
