It's been almost 3 weeks since my sleeve and I can't drop any more weight. I dropped 8lbs in the first week and not an ounce more. I'm following my plan like prescribed. I talked to my nutritionist yesterday and she said some people's bodies go into a starvation mode and makes it difficult to lose weight in the beginning. I'm beginning to give up hope and wonder if I did the wrong thing.

Hang in there. I know where you're coming from - you went through a lot and you're anxious to see results. Results can be uneven though. Try to be patient, and in my experience you don't need to be 100% rigid in your habits if that is making things difficult - small excursions from optimal diet or exercise are easily absorbed, so long as you're doing the right thing the vast majority of the time. What you don't want to do is to stop weighing yourself or to give up.

Happened to me. Hit a plateau hard. Then the loss started again just like before. Expect some weird behavior from your body as it adapts. Don't worry! It's just a temporary thing! Focus on rest, hydration, nutrition, and walking. ????

Hang in there!! Remember your body just got its butt whipped and is in shock. Just follow the plan laid out by your med team, and the losing will come.

@@albare1978 You are in the typical 3 week stall. How much Protein are your getting? Are you getting enough fluids? Just keep to the plan and you will start to lose again.
