I was sleeved on July 31st. I'm down 25 pounds, but the scale has not moved in almost two weeks. I'm so frustrated because I know I'm not overeating by any means. If anything I might not be eating enough. I'm drinking a 20 oz bottle of Isopure with 40 grams of Protein everyday. I'm not drinking enough Water and wondering if this could be the cause. Has anyone else had this long of a stall this early on?

Stall's are common and you shouldn't let them get you all bent out of shape. That being said the 2 most important things are Water and Protein. You need to be getting a minimum of 64 oz of water a day or you will have problems, personally I drink 128oz a day. And protein should be a minimum of 70 grams a day, or more accurately is to figure out your weight in kilograms(pounds/2.2) and take that x 0.8 or 1.0 to give you your proper amount of protein in grams to start. Good Luck.

Thank you so much for your response Sleeve Master! I'm going to try to kick-up the Water and Protein and see where it takes me. :)

I'm in the same boat. I was sleeved a few days after you were and I lost about 25 lbs the first two weeks but have been stuck for a week and a half. I'm definitely not getting the Water intake I need so I'm trying to step that up as well

I was stalled from week 2 to about week 10. I am now 11 weeks and finally the scale moved another 10 lbs. I did lose inches so I decided I'd be okay with whatever my body did.

My suggestions: eat/drink at least 80-90 g Protein daily, try to work your Water up to at least 64 oz. avoid carby foods/drinks. I know it is tough but trust that your body is doing what it's supposed to.

Good luck to you guys!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
