I was sleeved on March 13,2018. Starting weight before pre op diet was 342. Surgery day weight was 330. As of today I am 325!! How do I get this weight loss to speed up??

It'll happen, you just have to be patient. Type a search for the "third week stall." Stay the course and the weight will come off.

If you are doing the right things the weight loss will continue. You can always help it along a bit with a good exercise routine (even if that's just walking), but the reality is if you are operating at a caloric deficit the pounds are going to come off.

I think my problem is I am really in need of meal prep to make sure I’m getting everything I need

It sucks and I'm sorry.

People will give you a lot of advice on diet and exercise.....and they're both important...but chances are very good that even when you're doing everything by the book...you'll hit stalls like this. Our bodies lose weight rapidly and they put on the brakes. It sucks.

The good news is that with patience and consistency...you will lose the weight. Just need to dig in, keep your nose down, and work your program. I know it's discouraging and irritating. It gets better!

When in doubt... drink a protein shake.

Yes because I thought I was doing everything right but the scale is telling me other wise. I’ll just continue to do what I’m doing and leave the scale along for a while I guess.

You are having the infamous 3 week stall. There is nothing you can do to change it. LOL. You just have to persevere and muscle through it. It's so hard. I whined the whole way through mine! Mine lasted 6 days. I went up and down the same 1-2lbs and it was crushing.

Then I started losing again.

The End.

((hugs))

Embrace the stall.

Thank you that really helped me feel better about it!

I was sleeved 3/12. And dropped 23lbs fast then have stalled now for about 10 days. I feel your pain

I haven’t dropped anything but 7 pounds since surgery now that’s not normal, right?

I was told to be patient because a stall is normal so I assume your situation is normal. Keep up the good fight!

As everyone else said— stalls suck and happen. I near lost my mind during mine [emoji51]

Hang in there— drink TONS of water and walk . It comes off and kicks in- promise
