    A large majority of us stall between the 2-3 week. Just keep doing what your doing and it will start up again eventually.

You've lost a large amount of weight in 2 weeks. Great start. Weight will keep dropping if you keep following your plan. You may not see a drop every day or every week even but it will continue. Your body is still healing from major surgery and needs to adjust every so often to dropping the lbs. Good luck on your journey!

I am 2 weeks PO on Monday and I too have reached the stall. Including my 2 week pre op diet I am down 30lbs. It is frustrating to me because I'm not able to eat anything and I'm still not losing, but it makes sense that there is an adjustment period!!! Keep your head up, you're not alone!!! Hope you're healing well!!! :)

Exactly how I'm feeling... Can't eat, & slow process... Thank you for the well wish, healing pretty well, but still very sore along with gas & what feels like terrible reflux!

Don't be frusrated, you are only 2 weeks in. You knew going into this that it takes longer than 2 weeks. There will be stalls and its ok. In my stall days i think my clothes actually got looser during those days than when i was losing. Hang in there and remember this will take time.

Sorry, but I can't find any way to say this that doesn't sound mean - cause it's not meant to be. It's only a reality check.

Buuuuut, Really?????????? Two weeks post op and already stalling? You might want to consider having a sleeve revision. :P

Yes, 2 weeks and stalling wasn't expected, had no idea it would happen so soon. I just wanted to hear other stories of if in fact it has happened to anyone else!

I'm starting my second week so if it happens to me ill let you know. Best of luck and I hope that scale starts moving again.

A large majority of us stall between the 2-3 week. Just keep doing what your doing and it will start up again eventually.

I stalled at week five....I'm at week seven n still stuck!

I think it would be a big ask of our bodies to sustain that sort of weight loss continuously. I'm just a couple of days over 3 months post op and have had several short periods of stalling and even twice regained a little weight - and I'm post menopausal so can't blame Fluid and hormones! Always comes right in the end.

Post sleeve we eat such ridiculously low calories, ( are you tracking your food so sure of your calorie intake?) that you WILL eventually continue to lose weight. Either than or you're a medical miracle!

After looking into the chemical process of HOW our bodies loose weight I can tell you its a complicated series of events. Your body needs time to adjust between dropping pounds. It's all very normal and very much needed. Track your intake, begin exercising when you doc gives you the all clear and you will loose. Stair steps of loss is what you want.
