I've been stuck at the same weight of 232/233 since 7/31. I was sleeved 7/6. I even gain 2 pounds and went to 235 for a few days. Why is this? Will the scale start back moving any time soon?

I want everyone to work on getting their calories up to 700. That's your homework assignment!

I am stuck too..... i swim an hour every day and walk about 30 min. I am eating 700-800 calories, drink tons of water and get the protein. I am getting depressed, sleeved on 7-21, 16lbs lost. Keep thinking about reading the side effect of surgery, " you may not lose any weight"

There is a reason the average weight loss for the first month is 15-20lbs, when after the first 2 weeks we've lost 14. That 3rd week stall keeps the monthly total low.

Correct! Stalls happen to everyone, even those that do every single thing perfectly. Just keep to your program (don't be drinking milkshakes!).. and you'll be fine.

Every pound of fat you lose means the body has to work hard disassembling miles of blood vessels, and hundreds of thousands of cells. In order to accomplish the work, it holds onto fluids until that piece of work is complete, then it releases it. Then the process starts over.

Jeez, nothing has made me feel as good as reading THIS POST this morning. I'm really really really frustrated and unhappy and this helped tremendously.

Me too...I am trying. ..dont want to go over the edge....losing many inches. .but I Wang that scale to move so badly..
I am boycotting it until dunday, my official weigh in day.

Don't worry guys, 3-6 week stall is a real thing and it seems to have happened to everyone I've talked to. What broke it for me was getting in more calories. Just a bit more, nothing crazy. It will pass!

Scale just started moving a little. Its been 5wks. UGG! My doctor told me to increase my water and that did seem to help.

Increasing my calories help me as well

Could you possibly be gaining muscle?

We were sleeved around the same time and you are working out more than me. I do 30 mins 5 days a week. I've lost almost 13 lbs since surgery but I know part of it is my low bmi. I am not in a stall, every day lately several ounces disappear from the scale. But I lost nothing in the first two weeks I think.

I wondered that because I am definitely getting toned. The inches are melting off, I am getting toned, just the scale does not move. At the time I wrote this I dropped 2 more lbs. But now I am at a stall again. I,see my doc on the 13th and I hope I can get down 5 more lbs..... I am going into week 6. Some say weight starts to really move after week 6. Geesh I hope so.
