Hi all,

I'm 6 weeks out from band to sleeve revision. I started the day before surgery at 174 and I've now lost 17 lbs. The past 10 days or so (yes, I weight everyday. I know, I know) the scale has bounced between 156-158-156-157-156-157-156-157 on and on.I can't really cut back on calories, I'm already under about 700 - 800.

I'm thinking it's because I only have 26 lbs left to lose so it's going really slowly. At this rate I won't hit my goal for like a year! I thought it was last 10 lbs that were the hardest to lose. Seems it's the last 26!

What to do? Besides be patient...

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I HAVE BEEN AT A STALL FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. I'M ONLY STARTING WEEK 3 . LOST 10 PDS PRE OP AN 7 A WEEK LATER. THE LAST 2 WEEKS NOTHING ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS? I HOPE I DIDNT DO THIS FOR 17 PDS.

6 weeks is not too early. I stalled from 2-10 weeks. It sucked!

However I also lost inches. I think your body is trying to catch up with your great weight loss. Give it time and I think the scale will move again.

You're doing fabulous!!

I had 2 separate 2-week-long stalls by 6 weeks. Nothing you can do about it. I'm still down 88 lbs (and below my doctor's goal weight!) in 5 1/2 months. The body releases weight when it wants, never in a straight line.

I stalled in my third week, but then started resuming. Your body fights the weight loss, but the biggest thing I recommend is walking every day. I use "Map My Fitness" on my iPhone to measure and since my 2nd day out of the hospital, I have walked every day, usually about 45 minutes but on days I was really tired I still tried to get to a half an hour. I think that has really helped me in many ways!!

Love this!

relax and follow your program... it will work, though you don't get to decide how fast...

I'm a control freak tho. I hafta control everything! Guess I got to let go and let God on this one, huh? I knew I'd lose it a little slower, starting at a lower weight, I jusy thought I'd be at 130 by 6 mths. Not looking like it now tho.

Bummer...

Yes, be zen-like!

Control is great but (in my case) when I get my control 'frustrated' I give up, and I don't want to do that!
