Need motivation and help!

[NatashaSaysRawr 16]

Please help me! Idk what to do! I had my sleeve on Feb 8 and with in a week from Feb 8-12 I lost 10 pounds but this week I haven't lost any weight ???? Idk if it's me or my sleeve, I'm doing everything I can possibly do, I know it's only my second week but I'm already having doubts that it's going to work for me etc ???? I'm starting to get depressed thinking it's not going to help anymore and I don't want to think that but it's hard mostly since my family are also doubting me

NatashaSaysRawr - search for "embrace the stall" and "3 week stall" - you are NOT alone.

It's normal. You did not break your sleeve. I had a stall at week 2-3 and then again when I got down into the 220's and again now in the 190's. AGAIN - it is NORMAL.

Continue to do what your surgeon and nutritionist told you to do. SIP SIP SIP Water. Get your Protein in. The first few weeks it is hard to do, but continue to try.

A lot of people have doubts - I know I did...but if you use your new tool the way it was meant to be used, it will work. It's not magic. You have to do the work, but it can be done.

It`s all good, just relax and follow your plan. If you do what your suppose to do and take care of yourself the weight will come off. You will have stalls where you do not lose weight or maybe pick up a pound, it happens and it is normal. Take a deep breath and keep moving forward, stick to your plan and you will be fine.

Your body is still healing. Weight loss is not fast and constant; you will stall and stall often. At the beginning, you're lucky if you didn't gain weight from all the fluids and drugs they put into you. The fact that you lost 10 pounds is amazing.

Definitely look at the "Embrace the stall" post by Inner Surfer Girl. It will explain things.

Stalls are good and very necessary. Your body needs to rest through the weight loss process. It is the same as stopping to get a good night's sleep. It can't go forever dropping weight constantly just like you couldn't stay awake for weeks at a time; you'd feel awful and get sick.

My husband just had his at the same time and he has hit his two week stall as well. You bodies are just getting use to you not eating and trying to hold on to the fat, so don't be depressed. It will work I promise make sure you are following what your NUT says to do follow your plan they set up and it will work. Good Luck...
