I am new to the forum and in need of some inspiration. I had my surgery on 1-9-13. I lost around 22 pounds in the first three weeks and only a total of 1.5 pounds in the four weeks since then. I have tracked my food and provided it to my nutritionist. She said that it looks good and that she can't determine any reason why my weight loss has stalled. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get things moving again? I am getting around 950 calories and 85 g of protein per day and nothing I seem to do is helping. I am really starting to doubt that I made the right decision. I didn't risk my life to have surgery to only lose 23 pounds!

Thanks for the info on your stall. This is very frustrating but I'm gonna continue to try and get in my protein and water

I'm in the same boat. I was sleeved 1/11 and was losing a pound a day for a couple weeks. Then, right at week three, I hit the breaks. Now for almost the duration of February, I've lost 2-3 lbs. Total from surgery date is 20 lbs. I'm trying to stay optimistic, but like you, I feel that I may have had this surgery, and will be stuck at 209 forever.

Remember not to judge everything on the scale. Your weight may not change during your stall but you will still be losing inches!! Chin up and give ur body a chance to catch up to becoming a new you!

This has been my concern, I stalled at 3 weeks and have been worried that things weren't working right but reading all these comments on it has helped me. I am 4 weeks out now. Glad to know it gets better..

Yep been there done that..was sleeved on jan 7th and hit the stall at 2 weeks for about 3 weeks. Its so frustrating I know but it does break. I know with me and all my years of dieting hell to consume less than 1000 calories and NOT lose weight? Just can't wrap my mind around that but hang in there it will start again. Oh and if you can stay off the scale for awhile..hard to do yes I know. Good luck

Thank you everyone for your comments. It helps me believe that maybe I will feel like it was worth it eventually.

15 days out and stalled at 223 for the last 5 or 6 days. Very frustrating especially when you follow the rules! This too shall pass!

Yep, I lost 21 lbs the first 21 days after surgery, then nothing for the next 3 weeks.

Exact same thing with me!

Oh yea, 3 weeks, 3 months & at 5 months. I'm currently doing Lil Diva's bootcamp, I'm on day 3. So far it's working!!!

I am in the EXACT same situation. I was sleeved 1/15/2013' date=' am down 23 pounds, and have only lost 2 pounds in the last 2 and a half weeks. I eat between 700 and 950 calories and get between 50 and 80 grams of Protein. It's so discouraging [/quote']

Me too, sleeved 1/16 and lost 25 pounds within 3 weeks, and then the scale stopped moving. Calories for me 600-700, and still struggling with 64oz fluids, just can't drink that much don't know how but it seems on days that I meet Fluid goal, all I do is drink all day long. And I feel like I'm going to gag from too much fluids.

Hi there. What is lil divas boot camp?

If you search Forums, for Lil Diva's bootcamp, it will come up. Basically, it's a 5 day plan, cutting out carbs & sugars & eating lots of protein & drinking water, to kick start your weight loss.

Yeeeeessss ma'am! When I reached 2 weeks I had lost 25lbs and now at week 4 (3/5) I will still be the same weight but you have to remember sleeve weight loss isn't as rapid as bypass or the band and YOU yourself have to physically do the work also. I know it seems discouraging but don't worry darlin once you start doing your part it'll melt like butter and although your not losing lbs you are still losing inches.

When I hit my stall I did Clear liquids for one day and the scales started to move again.
