I am starting to feel like this surgery is not working. I had my surgery on January 13th. I lose 12 lbs within the first week and the nothing! Three weeks into it I got sick over the weekend and did not eat a thing for 3 days and lost 6 more lbs but since then I have lost nothing again. I am doing everything I am supposed to, getting my Protein in, not overeating but I am not losing weight and I am going into my 7th week. I mean a stall is one thing but it seems like since week one I have been on a permanent stall...it is very discouraging and depressing to say the least

I think it is time to call your NUT and see what it going on. There is the time period where your body has to recover and you won't lose much during that time...and maybe your body is taking a little longer to recover. Are you walking and moving? I also find that the more Water I drink, the faster the lbs come off. Hang in there...the surgery works, it like everything else takes time.

I have an appt in a week and a half, this Thursday I am going away for 4 days so it is when I come home. I drink at least 50 ounces of Water a day or more. I have a 24 ounce container I fill up and get at least two a day if not more down. I have tried drinking more Protein drinks then less Protein Drinks. I use my fitness pal app to keep track of all my calories..and I am having no problem getting in 1000 calories which makes me worried when I see so many people say they cant get near that.

I was going through the same thing and now it's been 3 weeks and now I'm started to loss, I was told it happens and sometime you have to up your calories. what you are going through is a plateau stage.

The quality of your Protein can also have an effect on your ability to lose weight. I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and have had a lot of success, even breaking plateaus by consuming one more shake per day. Check into the quality of your protein and the differences between the various ones.

Joy, I'm close to 1000 calories a day, sleeved 3 wks ago and in week 2 of the dreaded stall. It's definately a test in patience (something I suck at) but I trust eventually the weight will start moving in the right directionagain. Hang in there, we've got this

^{I use the Body Fortress whey protein strawberry, I am having enough trouble getting one in I cant imagine too, they just do not taste good to me!}

Joy, I encourage you to give a trial to unjury. It is only sold online thru unjury.com You can purchase a sampler that contains several different flavors of Protein powder. They have a chicken Soup one that tastes like cup 'o soup. They have a cheese one that you can add to things that is really yummy. Their chocolate supreme is really good and my favorite is the vanilla. They also have an unflavored one that you can add to almost anything and cannot taste it. It is not the cheapest, but it is very good. It is hospital grade protein and is used in many hospitals. They also have nutritionists on staff that you can call and talk to even before you purchase anything or even if you decide not to purchase from them. I really encourage you to give them a call - their number is on their website. I tried lots of different protein powders and this one is worth the money. I am drinking 3-4 a day as I am unable to eat anything even pureed.

Good luck.

_{Thanks I just ordered the trial pack so I can see if I like it or not.. I am not really having trouble eating at all, I was and about 10 days or so ago it seemed to have went away, as long as I do not overeat I am fine but I can tell when I have had too much.}
