I am so depressed. I had the sleeve 8/3, I had lost 16lbs in 3 weeks from doing the preop diet. I do not own a scale, mostly because I do not want to get obsessed, and I know I will weigh 1-2 times a day if I have one, so I rather not. Anyway my first post op last week, I only lost 1/2 lb and was upset, and surgeon said it's nothing to be concerned about as in the hospital you usually gain from all the fluids. Anyway I weighed today, a week later and it was the same. I am so strict with the diet, have not cheated at all, and no weight lost, how could this be. I am even freaking out a little. Is this just gonna be another failure, it took me 3 years to get up the nerve to do the surgery. Please has anyone else experienced this, should I be worried, thanks

Have you had your thyroid checked? This could be the culprit

The dreaded 3 week weight loss stall! I went through the same thing, and had no loss for 22 days.. It will go! Now I'm down 80!

I am happy to hear abut the three week stall. I am at that phase. Now I won't be frustrated. But I am happy with the weigh loss so far. Down 27 lbs at my 1. Week check up. ????

Wow 27 down great!!!
