Sleeved 3/30 and I believe I'm in my first stall. I started at 235 my pre op diet and now I'm 209 I'm getting discouraged because I'm afraid I'm failing and I'm not going to lose the weight . Everyone keeps saying to hold on that it'll happen . I guess I'm just anxious and wanting it to continue to drop. Any ideas on getting out of a stall this soon after ?

My exercise physiologist told me she finds people get the best results when they stop weighing themselves constantly. She advised me to pick 1 day a month (I've chosen my surgery date) and routinely weigh/measure/photograph myself. My surgeon has assured me that as long as I stick with the diet plan, my sleeve will do most of the work for me for the first 18 months. You're never 100% sure what is going on inside of your body. If you're on a workout routine, you could be converting more fat to muscle and you could be seeing yourself stall.

Trust that your body is doing what it needs.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all stall and most of us experience our first stall about three weeks post-op.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids. And, stay off the scale.

Embrace the Stall
