3 week stall?

Sleeved on 1/8. Lost 14 pds the first week. and only 3 pds since then... so frustrated!
I'm getting all of my water and protein in, keeping calories and carbs low. -- not hard considering the little amount we can consume.

Tell me this is happening to others too, and that it will end!

I’ve heard pretty much everyone mention hitting stalls. I’m on one right now....I’m hoping the scale moves soon!

This happens all of the time. In fact, I don't know anyone who doesn't experience a stall during their weight loss phase. I was at a stall the entire month of December, but as soon as January hit, the scale started to move. This week I lost 3 pounds, and I swear I'm eating exactly how I was in December. Sometimes the body just needs to take a breather. Now I'm wondering once a person gets to goal, how do you make the weight loss stop?

We all hit this stall, mine was in the month of December, so I made the biggest and returned to the gym and started working out more regularly again and experiencing the largest gains. Those 45 min walks my doctor suggested prior to surgery became my platform to where I am today. I began those walks again after surgery and 45 mins turned into over an hour and that was getting to much, so I pulled out my road bike again and burned over 1500 calories in those 25 miles rides and rewarded by breaking the stall. The reality is at some point to maximize the results of this surgery, physical fitness's is extremely important and you control your own pace and progression. Currently, I am working with a weight lifting trainer at 24 hour fitness, not to push me but to help target the areas visible after surgery and reduce my body fat and he is introducing workouts I have never attempted and a positive influence. Finally, my doctor added pro-botics to my list of vitamins and that seem to kick that side into gear. Hang in their and do not get to obsessed with the scale and grasp how well we feel, is the point I am making. Good Luck!

I sleeved on 1/9 went through the exact same thing. Just started moving on the scale again the last day or two. I’m hoping in a week I will see my doctor and I will get approved to exercise again and begin spinning. I think that will really break my stall


I sleeved on 1/12. Lost 19 pds at the first week when I left the hospital.

Now it has been another two weeks, I lost only 4 pds after then, but I am not so worried about it. It will pass anyway, and come again and again sometime.
