So I was sleeved on July 5. I have lost 16lbs and stopped loosing at week 3. Scale has been stuck for over 2 weeks. I've taken measurements and in the two weeks have only lost 4 1/2 inches total. Can't for the life of me figure out why I'm not loosing anymore.

Thank you fixerupper. Your words are so helpful. For you guys that want to be jerks, yes I've read the gazillion posts but as fixerupper said I needed some individual confirmation. If you don't like my post then don't reply and or go somewhere else. This is suppose to be a SUPPORT site.

You're welcome. I have two suggestions:

1. Start a closed or private facebook group for people who were sleeved the same month as you. Most of our group still comes here to get wisdom from the vets and to share our experience with people newer than ourselves (we're still pretty new too . But, my FB group is a lifesaver. Often we hit stalls at the same time, emotional issues, etc... or someone a week or two before me can say "Hey my stall just broke finally!" It is so helpful to have a group at a similar stage and they will become some of your closest friends.

2. Chart your weight loss through fatsecret or some other website or app. I know now that I only lose weight every other week at the most. If I lose 3-5 pounds one week then I will almost certainly not lose the following week and may even bounce back up as much as two pounds but I can see from that chart that my weight will continue to go down if I am on program. Seeing this pattern gives me great comfort those weeks that nothing comes off because I know I just need to hang on for a bit and not give up.

Hope this is helpful. hang in there!

Well I think the stall is over. Keeping my fingers crossed. I dropped two pounds over the past 2 days. Lets see if it keeps up. Yeah!
