Dreaded 3-week stall?

I was sleeved 4/22 and lost 15 lbs in the first two weeks, which I was thrilled with. Now I've been stuck at the same weight for the last week straight.

I walk daily, drink ~7 cups of liquid a day, get 60-75 g of protein, and am sitting around 1000 calories usually.

I know this is normal and my body is playing catch up and everything. Just wondering everyone else's experiences with this. Anyway for me to help that scale move? Or about when did it start moving for you again?

Surgery was 4/23/13. I've hit the 2-3 week stall also. I have lost 13 pounds, but the scale isn't budging. I eat just under under 600 calories daily, 60-80 grams of protein and about 45-50oz of fluid. Fluid intake has been the hardest for me since the start. I'm walking a 1/2 mile each day. We just have to trust it will come off if we follow the plan.

Cat360 since jan 2 lost 42 pounds it will come off give it time but you will hit a stall im four months out and hit one stall in feb til march april i moved from 196 til now 194 thats it two pounds this month so far not good was hoping be at 190

thanks girl! I cant wait for it to happen...congrats on 42 gone thats amazing!

Thanks cat360 ya i know its not gonna come fast but was hoping i heard its slower at six months thats what im scared of i thought i would hit 50 by now

Yes thanks everyone for your input. Geez can it be soooo frustrating!

Sleeved on 4/23, lost 23 pounds so far, but stalled at that loss for 4 days now!

Thanks coleman i have been dealing with a lot of stuff lately and been off the wagon kind of going through a rough time with my husband which is turning out to be were not gonna be together so i have been i guess a emotional eater the past few weeks and getting a full time job isnt easy either

That stinks :(. I'm on another stall. I've just stopped loosing. So frustrating. I'm everything you are going through will turn out for the positive one day soon!! Take care

I was sleeve march 4th I have had 2 stall this one is the longest (2 wks) I have lost 32lbs and 1-1/2 dress size I haven't been able to go to the gym much going to up my water and protein and the gym I am only getting 700 cals a day going to up my cals and cut my carbs more hope this works going to see my Dr.this week everyone be good to yourself it will come off It took us a long time to put the weight on...

I had my surgery May 7th. The day of surgery I weighed 219. I came home from the hospital weighing 228. By the end of the first week I was back at 219 so I lost nothing but the hospital water week one (I was soooo pissed). Week two I went from 219 to 208. So I lost 11 pounds in one week. I am in my third week and have only lost a pound so far. Total lost since surgery is 12 pounds. I am praying I dont reach a stall but it seems inevitable. I have a HARD time drinking all of the liquids and I get 350 to 450 calories per day. I just strated back walking (slowly). I think not weiging your self every day really helps (sooo hard not to though).

I was sleeved on 4/24 and I have lost 25 pounds so far. My weight fluctuates between 278-275 everyday. I'm am so depressed and now recently I'm so nauseated to the point of where I don't want to eat. I work at night and sleep all day so I don't get my liquids and protein in. I just took a zofran abt an hour ago and I'm still nauseated. I'm not sure what to eat. Besides fish. I'm tired of that. I'm tired of this stall that I've been on and idk what to do abt it. I'm regretting my sleeve bad now...

I was sleeved the day after you. 4/23 I am having the same issues. Don't want to eat and nausea. I need some recipe help. I am tired of not eating or being afraid to eat.

I am so glad to see that you all posted this! I am three weeks out from my surgery - and between the two weeks prior to surgery diet and post surgery, I had lost 28 pounds - it was FLYING off, but this week I've barely lost 0.8!! I was starting to think that something was wrong with me! I'm drinking the water like crazy, sticking to the suggested foods list, and exercising as much as I can, but the scale wasn't moving. I was starting to freak out - thank you SOOOOOO much for your posts! Light at the end of the tunnel :)

I could have written this! same pre-op weight to amount of weight lost in the first 2 weeks, low calorie count and struggling with water. Surgery was 4/23
