I've lost two pounds in two weeks. I have walked nearly every day. I have tracked my goddamn calories, macros, and Water.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RULE OF CALORIES IN CALORIES OUT? THIS IS F*CK*NG B*LLSH*T!!!!!!!!

Now I don't even have an effing stomach and I'm not losing weight.

EVEN AFTER HAVING SURGERY TO MUTILATE MY BODY I WILL ALWAYS BE A FATSO.

Who has a f*ck*ng two week stall in the 3 weeks after surgery?!?????? ME.

Tell us exactly what you are consuming???? How much did you lose pre op? At two to three weeks, many of us stalled for a week or two. Its weird, but hang in there. In 3 months time, you'll be dancing with joy.

Me, too, love. Me, too. It's incredibly frustrating. Except, I weigh everyday and I am gaining and losing the same freaking 2 pounds over and over for the last 2 weeks. I am in the same feelings you're in, and doing EVERYTHING RIGHT!

It's OK I haven't had the surgery yet but I was told that sometimes your body has to adjust. So do what you know is right and your body will comply. I know you will do great keep pushing

Please don't be so discouraged... it will get better!

I have been having stalls off and on since my 2nd week post-op and I am now almost 9 weeks out.

I either don't lose weight from week to week, or I lost 1 or 2 pounds.

It is definitely frustrating, but I think it will pass.

I had two stalls, right around my periods both, week before and week during. Then I jumped down by 4 pounds out of nowhere. Maybe it has something to do with it. This close to surgery it can be anything from the gas you have been pumped with, lack of bowl movement to water retention do to sodium intake. The water from the IVs that is.

I'll go two to three weeks without losing, even gaining a pound or two. Then it comes off. I'm down more than 94 pounds. Don't freak out. When you do that, you're more likely to turn back to food for comfort. Eat the plan and calm down. If you are truly following the plan, it will come off.

I lost zero pounds over 2 weeks. It is what it is. Didn't hamper my overall results so far. You are only frustrating yourself for something you can't control.

You and like everyone else who ever had surgery.

Chill out, stop weighing yourself.

Did your Dr even talk to you about surgery? My Dr told me the whole point of the first month is to heal, not lose weight and if I didn't lose any weight the first month it didn't matter. Your body is using all of its energy to try and heal from losing most of an organ, it doesn't care about your weight loss. My Dr sat and thoroughly explained this to me.

18 months later I am down 177 pounds.

Chill, goodness.

I want to scream. Absolutely devastated.

Actually your math is wrong, you lost three pounds.

If there were any vets left on this board they would tell you about the Three Week Stall.

But there aren't.

So.

Thank you ladies for telling us exactly how you feel. These are my sentiments as well. I was sleeved on 12/6, which was over a month ago... I've lost 12 lbs since the surgery and pre-op I lost 7 lbs. So, in the past 7 weeks, I've lost 19 lbs in total. However, I've been at the same weight now, for the past 3 weeks!!! I try to remain optimistic, but it's hard. Especially when I read all the posts of 50, 60 and more lbs lost by people that were sleeved after me. Ughhhh!!!

I got a PM from OP complaining that I made her feel like <whatever curse word she used>. All because I told her the 3 week stall was normal and her Dr should have explained her surgery to her better.

THIS IS WHY VETS DO NOT BOTHER POSTING HERE ANYMORE.

I have heard that it is 3 months out when you will have the biggest loss.

Only advise I have is to vary calories from day to day. It can trick your body and make it use reserve fuel.

Never give up, never surrender

This is frustrating and I'm so sorry. Many of us have been there. For a while, consider focusing not on weight but on NSVs, which are Non-Scale Victories. Maybe certain clothing fits you better, maybe you can walk further than you used to, maybe you're making better decisions about what to eat. It gets better. Promise.

Was it a complaint or was I expressing to you how your post made me feel? I didn't bad mouth you, I didn't insult you or put you down; I was hoping to have you reflect on how your posts may be received without you realizing it.

I chose to send a private message to avoid "public" drama, but to still have a discourse with you.

It is sad that I had/am having an emotional outburst on a message board? Yes, yes it is. I wish I had someone here with me to vent to, but I don't.
