From all that I've read here and elsewhere, it sounds like you hit a stall.. and your body is making adjustments.. You should stick to the program and allow it to re-adjust and catch up.

Your body does things in order. It is unfathomably complex and many departments have to do their thing before the scale moves. Sometimes a sluggard in one department fails to read the memo about hurrying from the brain and takes a nap. Eventually the calorie deficit comes in and kicks his butt into action.

It is impossible to eat what you are eating and hold on to your fat stores unless you have been diagnosed with some rare condition.

Don't stress it, do what you are suppose to and you will lose lbs. Sometimes it takes a while for your system to catch up. I know we all want it to come off immediately but your body will lose, sometimes we get stuck and nothing comes off for a couple of weeks but then you may lose 4-5lbs in one week. Good luck!

I am losing very slowly . I had my surgery 8/5 . lost 9 pds pre op and 16 after. so i'm down 25 pds . But, I still feel a lot better that being 25 pds heavier. I know I eat more than I should and sometimes the wrong things. I try to make better choices everyday.

I'm 10 wks out from a band revision. I lost 18 lbs (I started at 174 so I knew Id lose slower) 5he first 6 wks. Haven't lost a lb in 4 wks. I'm traveling now visiting family in a different state. Guess I'm using that as an excuse to eat crap. Not very much crap, but crap nonetheless. My sleeve tolerates everything but ice cream (including burgers, fries, corndogs {went to the fair} and Cookies. Haven't tried pizza yet bbut I'm sure it'll go down just fine). I wish my sleeve would reject all of these things and make the right choices for me but alas, I've figured out I have to make the decisions for my sleeve, not the other way around. I'm happy I can only eat 1/3 of an In and Out Burger, maybe 6 fries, maybe 1/3 of a corndog. Otherwise Id be gaining all I lost back.

Hopefully when I get back home and all becomes normal again I will make better choices. At least I'm hoping...

I really needed too read this thread' so disappointing was my Dr second revisit with the scale down half a pound.

I was sleeved 8/26 and lost 16 1/2 lbs since surgery total of 33.

When I suggested a platu he said it was unlikely at this stage,maybe I should have said stall?

Anyway left there so depressed knowing I walked my first mile two days ago and was so proud.

I had my surg on 8/13 my weight was 283 then 271 at date of surg and today im down to 241. Its a slow process for some. I know how you feel. When i was at 3 weeks i stalled for about a week then went down. Last week i went up one lb n back down 2. So i guess our bodies still adjusting to this big change. But youve done great so far. We jus gota be patient. Im like you i wana see it drop like the beginning. Well get there ;)

I had surgery on 8/13 and haven't lost a pound in almost 3 weeks. It's very frustrating. What all are you eating now. I haven't cheated. I'm not getting as much Water as I should be. How about you?

I started at 184 and weigh 161. I'm happy with some weight loss, but 3 weeks and no weigh loss seems unreal.

I stalled for about a month after the first two weeks and then started to lose again. It was frustrating!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
