I had my gastric sleeve surgery on November 30 and have lost 24 lbs. I have not lost anything for the last two weeks and I am terribly depressed and worried I'm not going to lose anymore. I feel like a complete failure, I have tried to do everything the way I was instructed. I do have trouble drinking all my water and the protein shakes make me sick at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to get my weight loss going again. Thank you for any comments!

Well I dont have any suggestions. However I can tell you it happens to lots of us. I had a stall at 5 weeks. And I thuoght the same thing I cried and was depressed. But it does not last forever. And I am 5months out. And I have lots of stalls. I just have to wait them out.

I had a stall that started at week three and lasted for three weeks. Just keep following your doctor's plan and your body will start up again. I think there's so much change going on that it kind of does a "What the heck?!!"

Thank you for your comments. I will try to be patient, it is very hard and depressing. Have drs. appt. on Friday, hope he may have some suggestions.

I am 6 weeks out, my weight stayed the same for over 1.5 weeks, has just started going down again, I started doing 45min walks most days.. I'm sure its just a plateau - I couldn't tolerate the shakes so I'm not having any of those, just a low cal diet..

Thanks for the comment. I need to start walking and drinking more water. Happy New Year! 2013 will be our year.

Have you .lost 91 lbs. in 6 weeks, that is fantastic. I have only lost 33lbs in 8 weeks.

Happy New Year Yes I think the water and walking will help. With my weight loss it has been longer than 6 weeks as my operation was delayed the night before (so I'd already been on liquids/optifast) for 2 weeks, then had a gap of about 6 weeks then did the Optifast again for 2 weeks and had the surgery Nov 20th - but thanks I think the big loss prior to surgery is why I'm stalling a bit too, on and off - hang in there! All the best.

I had surgery on 12/6 and started at 307lbs. I have only lost 12 lbs. while inwas hoping for more, I am ok with my loss to date .

I had surgery 12/6 as well and have hit a small stall. I just posted a similar question on the board. It seems awkward feeling relief to see others "struggling" and knowing I'm not the only one. ☺
