I was sleeved on Jan. 7 2013 and my weight stopped as soon as I added protein shakes, which was 1 week after surgery. I drink at least 64oz.of water and get 80 grams of protein per day. I also added walking to my routine. I lost 18lbs on pre-op diet and 14 lbs 1 week after surgery but now the scale has stopped. What gives?

Your "3 week stall" has started early. Congrats Just hang in there. That was my LONGEST stall ever and lasted 20 days. I thought I was going to go nuts. It's totally normal. I stall now a lot too and stair step lose. Hang in there and don't do anything crazy. Stick to your plan, the weight WILL come off. Promise.

My normal now is to lose a few pounds, stall, gain a pound or two, stall, lose that gain and lose some more, stall... It's just normal now.

Your weight loss has not stopped forever. The Protein drinks did not stop your weight loss. You are experiencing the first dreaded stall. The scale will move, just continue with your fluids and Proteins.

I was too weak to get on my scale until week three, plus I had read about people gaining weight immediately after surgery, and I didn't want to see that. Lol.

My husband actually hid the scale before I got home from the hospital! I had told him about how everybody gains weight in the hospital and he knows how I am...he was worried I'd drive myself crazy if I saw that I had gained weight. He finally brought it out of hiding about a week after surgery....

This isn't even a stall yet.

A stall is defined as 3weeks without a downward movement in weight.

Surgery on the 7th

List 14lbs by the 14th

Now on the 21st your weight is the same as it was on the 14th?

Chances are you are retaining Water. All the fat you've lost has bombarded your system with estrogen. Your body is unsure what's going on.

Just keep following the "plan". Everything will be fine.

I stopped losing about a week and a half after surgery--I was sleeved Dec. 27th and I haven't lost a pound since January 6th. I think it's normal. Don't stress, and just know that you're doing the right thing. There are SO many people on this site who have gone through the same thing. Sounds like you're doing great, just keep up the good work, and it'll pay off!

I, too, have stalled for 2 weeks! Very frustrating. I know I need to work on getting enough fluids. I started exercising this week, which should help. Thank goodness for this forum, since I was starting to think I would be the first person not to lose weight with the sleeve!
