Your body has to adjust to the weight loss. You are going to have some weeks or even a few weeks in a row where you won't lose anything. Like fr me this month I lost 1lb but lost a pants size and shirt size.

Your body has to adjust and relearn what you are doing.

I'm starting week 4 today. The same thing happened to me except I gained weight in week two. 9 lbs! After losing 17 the first week. Don't worry. The scale will move again. Stalls are normal. And the dreaded 3 week stall is famous around here....look it up. I had the same fears and it all came off and I'm still going down. Just follow your plan and you'll be fine!

This is totally normal at this point. The weight will come off. Your job is to eat Proteins and get all your fluids in. Make sure your hydrated because dehydration really sucks..... Sit back and watch the weight come off now. Work on new eating habits and exercise. This is such an awesome ride.... :P

I know how you feel.....there are a lot of people typing and thinking what you posted. I had surgery on 9-10, and I haven't lost anything in a week. I think this surgery makes you crazy and obsessive about what your body is doing, and what you are doing to your body. I am hoping it gets better, from what I have read on here it will.

Well, I ended up being a little dehydrated too. I had to get 2 liters of Fluid today as well. Of course, they couldn't stick me so I got stuck 5 times before they finally got an I.V. in. It's been a long day. :unsure:

Ugh, getting fluids at the hospital is never fun, but ain't it amazing how much better you feel?

And 17 lbs. in two weeks? I'd kill for that! Or lop off part of my thigh, anyway. ;) You go girl!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
