I am getting so frustrated with my sleeve. I was 240 4 weeks ago and since surgery i am 222... but the weight loss all happened within the first 2 weeks. i know that you hit stalls but i am so afraid that i am just going to stay at this stall and not weigh any less..... I am feeling so sad and frustrated.

Gurl, it's ok. I only lost 18 pounds in the 1st 3 weeks then I hit that dredded 3 week stall. I have since lost 100 pounds. The scale will move my friend, I promise!!!

Jenn, did you change anything?  I am in a similar situation that you've experienced and am worrying that, at 6 weeks, I am being too reactive and making all sorts of changes rather than giving myself time to naturally get over this "stall"... I don't want to unnecessarily "lower" my quality of life by being too restrictive but don't want to not react and miss out on this opportunity to lose quickly.  Thanks for sharing.

Hi there,
Just stay on your doctor's plan. I know it feels so frustrating when you are so early out & when you feel like you are hardly eating but your body really is just adjusting. After your stall, you will probably lose quite a few pounds right after & you'll feel better.

My surgery date was 5/14 and I weighed 278, I'm 21 lbs down now and Monday will be my 4th week date. I'm too at my stall but the numbers will be counting down soon enough. Keep positive! The amount you have lost is a good number for the 1st month, I'm sure you can see a difference and its only going to get better

It will happen! I hit a stall at two weeks and the stall lasted three weeks. I have not been a fast loser, but it comes off when it wants. Keep with it, it will happen.

I'm seven weeks post op and have been in a stall for the past two weeks. I know your frustration. The bariatric coordinator at the hospital, a veteran of the surgery, told me not to worry it is normal.
