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?

I was sleeved on April 22 and I have been on the same weight for 3 weeks now also.

okay….had surgery 3/10/2014. have lost around 15 pounds. scales are no longer moving. i am so outdone. certainly this was for nothing! please tell me it gets better. i am not cheating….not getting in enough was, i do know that. H E L P !!!

I am just finishing my 3rd week and my weight loss has slowed but not stopped. But in the original comment I am most concerned with the 7-cups of liquid. juice has just as much sugar as most sodas, so you need to stay away from juice. And Ice Tea normally has caffeine, which will cause problems also, make sure you only drink Water or a Protein shake.

I was sleeved on 3/3. Lost 15 pounds the 1st 2 weeks then nothing. I spend an hour at the gym every morning Mon-Fri... I weigh every morning 216 and every night 218. Been this way for 2 weeks. Grrrr!!!

I was stalled for 2 weeks starting right at my 3rd week after surgery. Cool thing was that I had kept up taking my measurements and the inches were still melting off during my stall.

Everyone talking about the dreaded three wk stall so I got curious. I broke my only one week rule and weighted myself. I've lost two pounds since my third week weight in. Maybe the stall doesn't show itself until the fourth wk. Time will tell.

I had my Surgery July 22nd the first two week check up I had lost 16 pounds Woo Hoo, then I only lost 2lb per week for the past two weeks ;-( ^{I am keeping my calories low under 500 or so per day, I have been exercising and doing weight training but nothing crazy.}

^{however yesterday I weighed myself, which is a no no for me I usually weigh once per week and when I stepped on the scale it said I gained 3lb?}

^{how can this be I eat nothing and have been exercising so I figured it was Water weight (maybe) so again today I weighed and it said I gained 4lb?}

^{So it looks like I gained every thing I lost since my first post op f/u.}

^{What the hell is happening to me, I read horror stories on the internet and I"m so confused.}

^{I understand people stall, but to gain is horrific I'm so emotional is this surgery not working or is this just something that happens.}

^{Any Suggestions I"m all ears.}

^{Thank you}

Did you get past the stale and loose weight? I am three weeks post and I swear the scale went up a pound or two

If you are on a stall early on, eat more, drink more and stay off the scale. For those of you under 500-600 calories, you are starving yourself and training your body to get by with less and less calories. This will make it harder to lose and maintain when you get farther out. My longest stall was at my lowest calorie intake when I Was sick from a medication and too nauseous to eat. As soon as I Doubled my intake the pounds fell off. I don't track or measure anything, but a couple spot checks of my calories showed 1000 calories by 2-3 months, 1200 calories at 6 months and been maintaining 12 pounds below goal for 4 months on 1400-1600 calories.

Eat Protein, drink Water, take your Vitamins, include a balance of veggies, fruits and whole grains. Quit making postop so hard and STAY OFF THE FUCKING SCALE.

Thank you so much ladies for the great advice and not making me feel like a failure!!!! I'm stuck at the same weight for 1.5 weeks now and I may have gained 1 lb. I was so discouraged until I read these comments.

Hello I also have surgery 4/20 I lost 21lbs so far, but for the last week 1/2 i haven't lost any weigh, I guess is normal for what I read so I will start to exercise and hope for the best.

I'm at week three. Lost 25 lbs since surgery. Been at the same weight for the last 5 days. I am getting about 110 grams of protein, about 1100 cal a day, and 60 oz of water daily. I go on a 6.1 mile walk every morning that takes me 90 minutes to do. And usually walk another mile or two with my usual daily activity. Can't figure why the weight just stopped coming off.

The body is funny and will hold on to weight if you aren't getting enough calories. Try lowering exercise to 3 miles a day and/or adding a shake. I didn't do nearly this much at week 3.

Ensure Enlive has a lot of sugar! Is there a reason you're drinking that brand?
