The sensible side of me says it is impossible to gain weight when I am not getting 700 calories a day however the scale says I have! When I visited the doc at 2 weeks out I was 257 Dow from 277 pre op. I was moved to purée and my cholesterol and high blood meds where stopped. My BP meds had a small amount of Fluid pill mixed in. So I am thinking that may be part of the issue; my body might be retaining fluid.

I am sipping Water or decaf tea/coffee all day except for the 30 before/ 30 after I eat. I am only eatting 3 times a day. Breakfast is 30 gram Protein shake and then get the other 30 in purée foods at lunch and dinner. I do not get 64oz but I am getting close as I phyisically can. I am walking about as much as possible, although I am not allowed to do any heavy workout yet.

I am at a lost as to what I can do to start the loss up again! Any help welcome!

Don't panic you'll start dropping soon.

It is just your metabolism adjusting - no worries. You might even have a day when the scale goes up a pound. Remember to always look at the big picture!

I know your right ladies but I sure have been through a lot to be in a stall already!

My surgery isn't for 12 more weeks but I'm on an 800 calorie a day diet right now and I lost 20 pounds super fast and then gained two back and am now completely stalled. Frustrating isn't the word for it. My stall has been going on for more than a week!!!! I just keep going knowing that this time I'm going to have more determination to lose the weight than my body has to KEEP it! I expect that by the time the New Year rolls around, I'll be back dropping weight again. Keep it up. No worries!

I'm having the same problem. I was consistently losing until I was no longer eating just fluids. I lost only 2lbs between the 17th and 24th, and haven't lost any weight since. (I know, I shouldn't weigh myself daily, but it's my fix and I can't quit yet.)

I keep telling myself I know it's all the changes and I will reset and start losing again. But it sucks to not watch the scale go down when you know you're at a calorie deficit for the day.

Search for week three stall. This is so common I'm surprised anyone does not expect it.

Any one know what is Lil miss diva boot camp.

Wanting to try it.

I have heard of the boot camp but do not know it's details.

Thanks iggy I will search.

Here is the link to the boot camp: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/28139-the-basics-boot-camp/page__hl__%20boot%20%20camp

I think it's mainly intended for sleevers who are far out from their surgery and have fallen off the wagon or hit a major stall/gain. Although I suppose some pre-op folks could try it, too. Us newbies aren't really able to do a lot of it quite yet.

Thank you I will keep it for future use and hopefully others can find it useful now.

Not sleeved yet but def want to have it on hand!

But kids...no boot camp this early. Thats for folks out some months.

In a quick nutshell, because I'm heading to the ballet with a hot date (my 7 year old LOL) Remember that diet you did to shrink your liver? Your liver shrank..and then you traumitazed your body with surgery and it went all gaddly goop. Then you started feeding it Clear Liquids and maybe even solid liquis or puree's but not your normal routine. At three weeks your body says....wooooo baby, what the hell is going on? It then sends fluids to the liver to fill it back up again, and tries to find balance. This is the "three week stall" which is common to 99% of patients. No need to panic Keep the course and you'll see a drop next week.

That's the plan just holding on to the boot camp for later use.

259 this an boy talk about feeling like this was a mistake! I have done this kind of lost and gain without a surgery that nearly killed me. Ugh!!!

So week 1 and 2 I lose 19lb
