A stall is typical at about 3 weeks. Your body needs time to catch up. Keep following what your Dr. said. You may be losing inches. If you look through the site you will find hundreds of posts about a 3 week stall.

It will come off.

Good luck!

Sleeved on 3/26 - had to stay an extra night in the hospital because I couldn't get liquids down without major spasms' date=' and the Glucerna shakes they gave me i just couldn't tolerate. I've been home for 2 days now - finally got an entire Protein Drink in yesterday, but it took me almost all day. I used the nectar vanilla Bean Torte flavor mixed with Water. Can't do the milk based stuff yet. Other than that, just tea, water, crystal lite, and Popsicles trying to get my fluids in. Doc told me to worry more about fluids than Protein at first. Thankfully I only gained about 2 pounds post-op, and I've lost that plus another 2 since I came home (as of yesterday). I didn't have to do a pre-op diet like most of you did, and I didn't come home with a drain. I'm on liquids only (no puréed food or anything) until my 3 week post-op appt on 4/12. I've been finding that having tea or something warm first helps with the spasms. I'm going to call on Monday if they don't start getting better. It may still be gas pain...who knows! At least I feel better than I did!! Thanks to everyone who has posted for helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel!![/quote']

I was sleeved the same day! It sounds like you are doing pretty good! I haven't been able to do a whole protein drink yet. I'm hoping today is the day. Have you had a BM yet? I haven't.

I was sleeved on 3/5. Had lost 21 lbs since, but over the past few days, I've gained 2 lbs back. :( Am I the only loser who has gained weight?

Same exact thing for me. My surgery on 3/5 and lost 21lbs and I have not to lost any in a week. I am just going to take the advice of others and stop weighting myself. I find myself doing it way to often and being dissapointed. From what others have said a 3-4 week stall is normal because your body adjusting. I think it will all work out we just need to have patience

I'm like 2.5 weeks out and scale has been the same for like four days :( except two days ago it went down 3 then up 4 and now it's back where it was. LoL depressing but I knowwww this happens to everyone it seems. Just stinks to have dropped 20 lbs like nothing and now I am stuck! Was hoping to be under 300 by the time I go back to work. Wwwaaaaa.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
