Is this normal

[smileyone86 18]

I was sleeved on 2/2. I lost 10lbs on the week long preop diet, then 10 lbs the week after surgery, and I've stalled ever since. Not lost one more lb. I'm getting in quite a bit of Protein and usually 60 grams a day. I do very well with the shakes, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese etc...however, I I don't get near what I need to for my Water intake. Maybe that's it. It tastes ok, I just can't get it down. I've not thrown up one time, never been nauseated, and had a great recovery. I'm very thankful for all that and just wondering it this is a stall or maybe something else. Also, I get that 20 lbs in a month is awesome!! Just worried thats it????Any thoughts?

My story is very similar to yours. My surgery was just before yours on 1/26. I've had no complications whatsoever. I'm able to get in my Protein (I've actually found Protein shakes that I really enjoy). And I'm not the greatest at getting in my minimum ounces of Water a day. My weight loss has been slower than I expected. I've rec'd a lot of negative comments about my disappointment in my slow weight loss. I'm grateful for every pound I've lost so far, I was just taken back b/c I assumed I would loose a lot more IN THE BEGINNING. I would say not to worry and be patient. (easier said then done I know). I haven't reached any "stalls" yet that I've been reading about from other sleevers but I'm trying to get mentally ready for them. Good luck to you!

Thank you! I'm sure it's normal, just hard to eat this little and not see the scale move at all. I'm sure it will get in gear and we probably shouldn't worry about the dumb scale anyway:) Good Luck to you, I'm sure you will do great!

Increasing Water intake may help because it helps to flush your system. Everyone will lose at different rates and little plateaus along the way are normal. It will pick back up!

I was also sleeved on 2/2... Lost 10 before and only 11 lbs since surgery for a total of 21 lbs. I'm just trying to focus on the long term and not get discouraged !!! We will all get there ladies !!!

you will have several stalls its normal! I hit one at 3 wks..it took a few wks to start in again the body is adjusting to the chaos we did to it! its in shock ! Iv been thru 3 stalls in 7 months...I still have a hard time getting in 64 oz of Water everyday. I do what I can an I do work hard on getting Protein an its my priority. everything else is secondary. hang in there! it will start moving again...it works!

Yep! Normal! I lost 10 pre-op, then 17 the first two weeks post-op. (I only weighed at my appts.) So I go for my one month appt and I had only lost 4 more pounds. I collapsed into tears in the doctor's office. LOL! Everybody came running and they were hovering like helicopters. (I think hysterical patients are scary to them.) Anyway, I got a grip after a while and kept plodding forward (as if I had a choice!) So I am now 5 months out and 80 lbs down. Bottom line: don't compare yourself to anyone, don't stress, it's going to be great.

It is hard when you see so many people post how quickly they are losing. I had revision surgery 2/4 - no pre-op diet and have only lost 11 pounds. I'm starting to get scared to face the scale and keep thinking I should stay off Bariartic Pal so as not to get frustrated reading about everyone's success but at the same time I need it to see I'm not alone
