Stall so soon!

Got sleeved on May 9th and have only lost 2 lbs since! Not panicking though! From what I have read, I am not the only one who is facing this. Hopefully, things will turn around soon!



On the bright side, I am easily able to take 70-80 gms of Protein everyday! Getting better everyday. Couple of incisions hurt still but but not too much. I have not had to take any pain killers after day 4 of surgery.



Anyone that had an early stall, please feel free to holler! Thanks.

I had an early stall too after 2 weeks.

I was sleeved on 5/7 and have been at a stall for a few days now... Maybe like 5

Yea, I think I'm on one too. Been 289 for over a week... *trying not to panick*

I stalled after 4 weeks for almost three weeks. No worries. You'll get going again!

I'm stalled now after two weeks, and no loss since then--maddening! I'm so glad it's common though, and so keeps me from feeling panicked. I still hate it though and it's kind of depressing. We WILL lose though! ...eventually...

Hey friends...thanks for these posts, I'm 3 weeks out (sleeved 5/5) and lost 10 lbs the first week and now 2 weeks later my scale looks the same!!! Ugh!! Sooo frustrating! It makes me feel better to know I'm not alone, thank you!!

I'm right there with you all. 3 weeks out and only down 9 lbs. I eat nothing but protein, no carbs, and walk 30 minutes a day. I average about 500 calories per day at the most. What gives? Starting to resent all the posts where people lose 20+ in the first week. LOL!

Amen to that! I want to be on THAT losing plan! I've lost about twenty since surgery (once I dumped that hospital fluids) and nothing for almost a week now. I'm eating exactly to plan with mushy stuff, protein first, a small amt of carbs, teeny Amy of fat and all between 600 and 700 calories. I walk 7000 steps a day (about three miles) and aim for 5 flights of stairs a day. My dog is ecstatic, but I'm wiped out.

Sure would love to break this stall. Here's to hoping for all of us!

I am experiencing the same thing. I was sleeved on 4/21. The first 3 weeks I lost 15 lbs. Over the last week I have not lost any. I have been reading blogs and see that a lot of people experience it. With only taking in 700-800 calories a day, why a stall? It can be nerve wracking and makes me wonder if I am doing something wrong. But I feel you just have to give it time.

I am 2.5 weeks out and haven't lost anything in a week! Even though I know it will happen it is very frustrating to have it happen so soon after surgery. Sort of thought I'd have a month of weight melting off while I was taking in so little.

I am feel the same way! ughhhh its nerve wrecking , i was sleeved on 4/23 and today makes a month and i have lost about 20 since surgery and i am going crazy , i feel like i am dong something wrong , i am still having a hard time getting all my daily fuilds and protein in but i keep going , lord help me! i just hope i am not one of those few ppl that this surgery will not work

Thank goodness for these remarks by everyone. I had my surgery on 5/12/14 and came home 10 lbs heavier than when I went into surgery. I have since lost all of that plus some. I'm down 21 lbs. from when I started this whole thing. Yay!! I would do this again. Looking forward to losing more pounds. I just need to stop weighing every single day. I'm addicted to my scale.

Stalls are normal. I stalled 3 times in the first 4 mos. now I tend to not lose for 2 weeks, then drop (In the beginning 10-15lbs.) 5-7lbs. quickly and the cycle repeats.

HW: 335

Entered program: 312

SW 9/11/13: 297

Today 5/24/14: 194

I was sleeved on 4/23 and I was down 32pounds and have not list since may 8th. Frustrated but I know it will happen. Only eating 500 calories. Commiserating with you all.
