I am at 6 weeks post gastric sleeve and following exercise and diet goals faithfully but am plateauing with my weight. Has anyone else experienced this?

I am almost 7 weeks out and have had many stalls already. Continue to follow your plan and they do break and the scale will move again.

I only weigh once a week so that I don't get as discouraged.

Hang in there.

My doctor told me that everyone hits a plateau for a few weeks. "3 week stall" is what I've heard its been called. He said the body is adjusting to taking in more calories. He said after that I will start losing again. I haven't hit a plateau yet, but I'm dreading it too because I guess in my mind I just constantly need to see good results.

I am a little over 3 weeks post-op by the way.

Almost everyone has this.

It may last days or weeks or even months ... but you are right to ask and look for intervention suggestions, @kir18 .

You need to remember something even though you are not losing weight you are losing cm from your body think about this if you lost 3 ponds of fat in a week but gain 3 pounds of muscle the scale will show that you didn’t lose an oz but are you really in a stall?

In my case I am 2 month 14 days out of my surgery I’m proud to say I’ve lost 80 lbs so far every time I think I hit a stall I do 2 things 1 I stay it up a notch and 2 look at my muscular mass that way I’m sure I’m still losing where it matters before I had surgery I had 163 lbs of muscular mass first 2 weeks I lost a lot of that but once the Dr explained it to me I started to see things differently and I’m at 161 of muscular mass.

so don’t give up, if you are doing your exercises and eating what you are suppose to and drinking enough Water I’m sure you are losing where it matters but talk to your Dr see if he has a scale that measure muscular mass, fat, bone mass, and so on

I was sleeved last August and I've lost more than 60kg (130 pounds) and I have stalled SO many times. It honestly feels like I'm ALWAYS in a stall. It's just part of the journey. Don't let the scale get you down. As long as you do your part, the surgery will work.

Thank you all! I will keep up the work, I want to break the stall time!

Make a change in what your eating, use a new machine at the gym listen to another playlist lol, Stalls suck sometimes making a small adjustment results in a big loss. I find that when I go to bed empty borderline hungry I loose weight faster. Good luck stick to it

I am continuing my workouts and after a week or so I have begun to lose again! Thanks for the support. I started at 313 before pre-surgery diet, surgery 4/4/18 and as of today am down to 259!
