Hi everyone...I was sleeved on 4-25-13. I started at 317 pre op. Surgery weight was 309. I'm now 288 which I'm so happy about however, I've been at the same weight for 3+ weeks. At my checkup I was told I needed to increase my calories to 1500 from were I was at 600-800. I also workout at minimum 3 x's a week. I weigh myself once a week (well maybe 2) and I'm so sad. I've been looking around for weeks on this site for pointers but I haven't found something to help me break this stall...please help me guys! Sigh* Thanks in advance....

I have read that some people can stall for weeks. Increasing calories is suppose to jump start that stall (I think). Try measuring yourself and see if you have lost more inches. If you have gone 3 weeks I'm going to bet that very soon the weight is going to melt off like you never stalled. Also, what kind of exercise are you doing? Any chance you have gained some muscle?

It must be incredibly frustrating! I'm on day 4 of a stall and feel a big sigh coming on.

I've read around, n just being an avid dieter, the body is an amazing thing! U may be stalling bc ur body, which is NOT use to the calorie limitations, may b tryin to protect itself by going into starvation mode n holding on to that weight for survival. So yes, if ur dietitian said increase, they r correct, bc once it feels its being fed, it'll start to reward u by letting go. I'm sure ur NUT wudn lead u astray considering all uve just gone threw w surgery. Just mho. Good luck yall.

Thanks guys. I usually do a little bit of resistance. I walk on the treadmill for a mile and 8 miles on the bike. Both are about 20 min each. I'm trying the eliptacle but can only do like 3 min cause my chubby legs feel like jello lol my stamina is getting better the more I go...
