I am soooo scared I ak going to fail at this. I am 4 weeks out and have lost 30 lb so far but this week I lost ni weight. I am still on soft diet. I am also doing a good job following my nutritionist. Has this happened to anyone???

It happens to EVERYONE! Seach the "3 week stall". SUPER common as things heal and get 'organized'. This too shall pass (and you might want to skip weighing yourself every day... if you are)

Hopefully at the end of a two week long stall. And guess what, it started at 3 weeks. I am down 35 pounds all together, but only 25 since surgery. So I think there is nothing for you to worry about.

Same here today marks four vweeks since my surgery I've lost 30 lbs total but nothing last week or this week my NUT said is perfectly normal at about 3 weeks your body goes whoa your only giving me how much food!? And holds on to what is has but she says will only last a couple weeks then will start losing again

I am sort of looking forward to the three week stall, in a weird way. That means I am three weeks out from surgery. My body is really healing and adjusting. I am ready for that. I start week three next Monday. ( Meaning it is two weeks post op- starting the third) I have only lost about 10lbs since surgery, but I am down 43lbs from my highest weight so I am still happy. Just taking it all one day at a time. I am following orders best I can. Each day it gets a bit easier. One day I will have a "normal" day (the new normal) and it will probably shock me. So ride out the stall and keep on keeping on!!!

I think 30 pounds in 4 weeks is amazing.....if you want to see my stalls in 3 months, click on this link.....then click on the picture......Most of us are going to see some plateaus......and it's okay, you'll get through them. Good luck!

I know its hard to not see the scale move daily, but geez- some of us really need to give ourselves a break. You're not going to lose weight daily or even weekly sometimes. I don't like the whole "stall" term either for people who have recently had surgery. People please don't forget YOU JUST HAD SURGERY! Your body has to adjust and the weight loss will come. Do what your doctor says and be a bit more patient. {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(}

Spot on!!

I can totally relate! I've tried everything in the past to lose weight, and nothing worked. Now I've been sleeved. I can go for days and not lose any weight (Yes! I weigh myself every day!) I guess I'm still at the stage where I worry that even THIS will not work... Fear and doubt is all it is, I hope :-(

Jane I hear you. Get away from that scale girl

It will work. The only way it won't is if you don't change your habits. You will be a success!
