Hi everyone, this is my 1st posting here; I'm new on this support group. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 30Jun16. My highest weight was 258 and I weighed 247.7 the day of surgery. Within the first 14 days I had lost 16lbs which I was happy about. I didn't have any issues with the liquid diet and didn't feel any cravings. The problem I'm having is since I started my puree foods on the 15th day, my weight has stalled. I will go down a pound and then up a pound so I'm weighing exactly what I weighted at the 2 week mark; still not having any cravings. Has anyone else had this issue? If so what did you do? I'm following exactly what the nutritionist said I should do, so I'm so confused. Would like any help.

Unfortunately, stalls are the name of the game. I hit MANY during my journey. Some were a month or 2 long. I just kept at it though. As long as you are following the guidelines, the weight will come off. It does get frustrating. Hang in there.

Those first days and weeks seem so long, but remember you have had major changes your your body and system. Be patient with yourself and your body. Don't weigh every day. Stick to your plan. Take it slower if you have to. I did. Allow your body to do what it needs to do. It is healing. Best wishes on your path to a new you!

Sounds like your 3 week stall hit later than 3 weeks. I hit a stall at 3 weeks that lasted for 2.5. Just started losing again yesterday. Your body is in a state of shock and trying to deal with what to do. I shook mine up by limiting carbs and making sure to stay under 700 calories.
