I had the sleeve on 3/3/15, as of about a week and a half ago I stopped losing anything, pounds or inches. It hasn't even been a month yet and this is happening.

I don't understand why this is happening when I work out everyday and I'm hardly eating anything. I could understand if it had been months down the road, but only a few weeks after surgery? Is this normal. .has it happened to anyone else? How did you start the weightloss back up?

I just started working out last Monday and I'm only walking 20 mins, it's all I can do because I'm still having soreness. But it's gets me going, sweating and stuff, I'm not leisurely walking or anything.

I really don't eat much, I only eat when my stomach tells me I'm hungry and I can only eat a few bites before I'm full.

Yeah, you aren't eating enough to gain You're doing great! Just keep working on upping your Protein and Water, move a little and it will pass. And yes, I gain weight during stalls, too

If the weight fluctuations bother you, try only weighing once a week or 2. Those fluctuations will drive you crazy!

Thanks so much Babbs! will do!

Never mind I just read up on the three week stall and it does include gain. Pulling myself together and continuing my plan! I wouldn't know what to do without this site!

I have been gaining also! I have gained 3kg since last week and I dunno why as I am not going over 1,000kcals a day sometimes no where near but someone has said bout carbs to cut them back out and see what happens

I hear you, it sucks so bad to see a gain! but if you search 3 week stall from this site, there is so much advice already on here about it and after 4 days of moping, i feel so much better! the experts know what they are talking about! we'll see the scale moving soon just keep at it

coffee in AM. dinner probably Pasta with sauce and veg, or a pizza. To much bread/sandwiches on the go. WAAAY too much cheese. It really was 50% disordered eating and 50% health issues. Tumor plus early onset menopause to name just a few. Although I was a vegetarian for years, I cleaned up my diet about 4/5 years ago as my allergies progressively got worse. Joined a gym. 3mths after joining gym & quitting soda, swollen feet went down. However I got sick less, but still got sick. I got facial shingles. I gained and lost the same 35 -50lbs over the course of 3 years.

I've read you say this before. I'm genuinely curious what your daily menu was typically that got you to this point.

Ack! I "liked" it for your response, not for your health issues.

Thank you for answering a personal question candidly. You know me well enough to know that if I was being judgey, I'd have included a LOT more sarcasm.

No worries. You know I always try to answer as honestly as I can.

Aren't you like 3 months post-op? That's a lot of calories unless you are working out really hard every day. I think I was eating between 400 - 600 calories a day at that point. Just remember the basics; Protein first, then veg, get your fluids in. Exercise.

Are you food logging? It's a good way to get a true idea of what you are eating. Many times we under automate. I'd say the egg & the mince are good, the Pasta & bread is not. Replacing those items with protein will keep you fuller longer

Yea I am trying to! Over in uk we aren't All about protein I got told yes protein is good but we need carbs and fruit and veg still to help our bodies, I am wanting to cut the carbs right down tho as I think it isn't helping!

There are good carbs and bad carbs...Complex carbs are needed - those are the good ones and found in whole foods. Simple carbs are the bad ones - those are found in processed foods. Try to avoid the simple carbs - Pasta, rice, Cereal, tortilla chips. Beans are filled with carbs, but they are good carbs. Once you're approved for fruits and veggies, those are great (more veg than fruit).

When I was newly sleeved I limited my carbs because I thought that would make me lose - it made me feel like crap. I am very active - I work out daily. My body needs those complex carbs - I experimented with different quantities of carbs until I found my sweet spot.

Thank U I will try it

The idea is the more highly processed something is like white bread, white rice, Pasta, the less benefit.Those are the ones that tend to make you hungrier.

I also try to plan my carbs for the busiest part of the day. I work out primarily in the early morning and afternoon. The bulk of my carbs happen between Breakfast and lunch. My biggest meal of the day is lunch. My dinners are usually light. Most night's I have a salad or a cup of Soup. However I focus on protein because protein is what helps you heal and it's what helps you lose weight.

Ahh ok thank u I will keep that in mind when planning my meals each week as I am really trying to lose another 3 stone by August

Thanks everyone for the informative posts. I was sleeved on March 4, 2015 and hit the 3 Week Stall and have stayed at the same weight for the past 2 weeks. While I've been getting in the 60g of Protein, I need to increase the water; I'm barely hitting 60 oz daily. I've got a number of things that can be tweaked to make it better. The good news is that what the scales aren't saying, the measurement tape is. So, I'm losing crazy inches, which is good, but I definitely want to improve the eating to balance this. I appreciate the helpful hints from the veterans who've been doing this for some time. I will take your lead and expect to do better, feel better, and see better. Huge thanks!!!!!

Mine was the 2 week stall. Although I know it's normal. ..it's still frustrating. Keeping the faith though!

I am now on 1 week where it has actually gone up not down! I have put on 4lb and I am getting really annoyed I haven't weighed myself since I saw the 4lb go on and that was 5 days ago so I am waiting to see my dietician and go to my support group and hope it's all gone or I haven't at least put anymore on!

Sounds like you’ve hit the three-week stall! The only thing to worry about is if you get discouraged and stop eating like you’re supposed to. Otherwise, you’re doing fine! Keep eating right, and let your stomach keep healing, and you’ll start losing again.
