Hello everyone!

I was sleeved on 5/26 and I lost 31 pounds so far and most of it was lost within the first few weeks. I have been loosing 2 pounds here and there, but It has been stalled for 2 weeks or more. What should I do? My NUT said I was eating fine and I am trying to add more exercise on top of working 3 jobs to shock my system. Any ideas??

Thank you!

Frankly, the stress from working 3 jobs is probably not helpful.

Other than that, stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. If you intend to lose a significant amount of weight you will experience stalls.

If you have already consulted your NUT then there really isn't anything you need to do but ride it out.

Just follow your program.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Exercise when cleared.

And, Embrace the Stall

Hi @@EmilyJune

I was sleeved 4/28 and had a very similar experience to yours. Lost quickly for almost a month--then stalled for four weeks. During that second month I too would lose a pound or two and think the stall was broken, only to stop losing for another week. It was definitely frustrating!

The stall did break and I've been losing pretty well the last two weeks. All I can say is stick to your program. You're doing great so far and you'll lose plenty more when your body is ready. Besides, you would have been thrilled to lose a pound or two per week before...

No need to worry over this.

I've been at a stall for 4 weeks. I'm 9 months out. At least I haven't gained anything lol but it's frustrating. This is the longest I've experienced and part of me feels I'm not going to lose another pound!!!

I'm 10.5 months postie and I've stalled for about 7 weeks now. Don't know if it's gonna last forever, and at times I'm very discouraged but I have to give myself the opportunity to CONTINUE to be successful, so I stick to my meal plans and workouts. There is no end to this way of life. After all, it is my NEW way of life.

Saying that, if you're just a few months postie, believe me, you're NOT done. Your body is playing catch up. Let it do its thang!!! Good luck

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
