2 weeks post op and a stall

[lindabalseca 373]

Im not sure if the sleeve is not working for me. I did well on my pre op diet. I lost 34# and then 10# after surgery 8/9/17 when I was weighed 1 week post op. I have since stalled and the scale hasnt budged. I work out at the gym 3-4 times a week and for my meals i eat 4oz at a time. example Breakfast is 2oz greek yogurt light n fit, 2oz low fat cottage cheese. then mid day a Premier Protein shake for a snack. then later 2oz scrambled egg and 2oz ricotta bake. later a Protein Water till i get home from work and dinner is usually a a Soup or a Protein Shake. any suggestions how to shake it up some?

My weight loss graph since surgery looks like steps, not a ramp. I asked my surgeon about it and he said not to worry and that I was doing everything correctly. Always check with your doctor, but I suspect that there is nothing wrong and you will continue to lose a bit, then pause, then drop down again, then pause, etc. I have not lost weight at a steady rate since my surgery, but it does come off and averages out to be normal, just bumpier than most others. Check with your Doc and keep up the good work, you'll do great, I promise!

Weighing the same from week 1 to week 2 is not a stall. Not losing weight in one week does not mean the sleeve is not working.

Paitence is important. Make sure you are drinking enough Water too. It is working you lost alot pre surgery so maybe your body is just catching up.

my dr told me to do as much cardio as i can handle but no resistance or strength training for 6 months or so. i havent worked out for a few daiys because i stupidly lifted a laundry basket and strained my one incision. I see so many people struggling to eat but I can eat 2-4 oz depending on what it is no problem. drinking I do normally although I feel more restriction with that.

You're not at a stall. A stall lasts for a week or two and it's just your body reshuffling. Your sleeve works. You just have to be patient. Every single person goes through stalls. Most are at 3 weeks when they introduce solids. You are on them now so that could be why. Just relax, it'll happen
