I feel like I’ve stopped losing weight. Is this common at 3 weeks?

The 3rd week stall is a common occurrence. You can search BP and find many instances of this happening. Power through, your weight loss will continue!

Thanks I was getting a little bummed out

@josh m.. I was sleeved the 1st and my scale has barely budged since surgery! But inches are coming off and everyone has noticed a huge difference. Hang in there!!

I’m doing great , I lost 26 lbs the first two weeks and everyone is telling me they see a difference. I walk 5 miles every day . Just this week has been tough cuz it seemed so easy the first two weeks.

Just chiming in with a "hi, I also stalled" reassurance. I think it was around the end of week two/beginning of week 3. I'm near the end of week 4 and seeing losses again. Not the crazy ones like during the liquid diet, but multiple ounces most days, at least.

And like @JennieJuniper said: often when the scale doesn't move, inches do.

As long as we stay on plan, we'll get there! ??

Wohoo!!! Good luck!

I made it. I'm 3 days post-op and trying to figure it out. No pain but for some reason I feel like I'm starving and that scares me ... maybe my brain and body haven't connected all of the dots. Strange.

I’m so glad you’re doing well! I’m just starting to eat soft foods. I noticed I never felt full with the shakes. I felt satisfied which is a feeling I wasn’t used to. I was used to feeling stuffed! One day at a time. It’ll get easier.

Tomorrow is the day. ?

I am 4 days out and I can only eat to spoons of broth but I am getting my liquids in

Just reporting in. I had my surgery 10/15. My doctor did it through my navel as I requested and I will have no scars or marks (I know they are tiny anyway). I spent 2 nights in the hospital and a very painful first week. The second week I worked from home and resumed some activities like washing my hair and being human. I'm tolerating lots of foods like mushed avocado, mashed potato, hummus, yogurt, and protein drinks. And since I know a lot of people wonder about going back to work, 2 weeks later I am at my desk job, tired but doing fine. My only stall far was constipation related, I think. Considering all we go through to do this, I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
