I was sleeved on September 26th. Today marks 3 weeks and my weight loss has stalled. I haven’t lost a single pound in a few days. Not sure if this is normal or if I’m doing something wrong. Who else stalled around 3 weeks?

I'm a few days short from a month. I had this stall too and stopped weighing myself everyday. I got on the scale after a few days and I was down four pounds. Are you getting in all your Water & Protein?

I had my surgery on Sep 25th. I am in a stall. I am part of a study with my surgeons office, so I have to weigh myself daily. They provided me with a polar Bluetooth scale and polar watch.

I have actually gone up a couple pounds, and have been hovering there for 6 days (since week 2 when I introduced pureed food).

I am not hitting my fluid goals, and I am not always hitting my Protein goals (some days I do, but only through drinking two Premier Protein shakes).

Yesterday I had 3 Protein Shakes (90 grams of protein) a hard boiled egg and a cheese stick.

We had surgery the same day. Don't get down in yourself for the stalls. What I've been told is everyone usually goes through this stalls stage. Don't fret the scale will move soon. Congrats, and keep up the good work

Thanks! I'm not to worried about it. It is a pain that I HAVE to weight myself daily for this study. It would make it much easier.

It is also hard for me to get my totals, I don't think I've had a single day of getting Protein AND fluids. And I have had a couple urinalysis since my surgery, both show I'm dehydrated (some level of dehydration).

I weigh daily still.. It is so crazy cause my weight will be exactly the same...ounces and all for 3-4 days and then it will drop 1-2 pounds..then the exact same weight for a few days. You would think the ounces would change daily but they don't on me. I had my surgery on the 25th as well. I add genero to my Premier Protein shakes, one shake has 30 g and then I add 30 g. I drink half for Breakfast and then the other half at 10am. So at least i am getting in my 60 grams from that. I know I get more throughout the day as well. I haven't gotten my full Water in yet. I hover around 48 ounces.

Right there with you. Surgery was 9/27. I'm getting the Liquid Protein, not doing much solid . Hard getting in all the Water. Been eating a lot of popsicles. Don't know if that counts. It's hard but just keep plowing through...eyes on the road!

This may sound like a weird question, but for all of us at a stall.....has anyone had a normal BM?





Too normal for my liking ! I'm going at least 3-4 x a day pretty annoying if you ask me.

      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!!
