Hey ya'll, I was sleeved on August 1, 2011 and I lost 21 lbs during weeks 1&2. The reason why I'm frustrated is because I have been in a stall for exactly 3 weeks. Now, I know that a lot of ppl have gone thru this 3 week stall but, I haven't losed an inch for 3 weeks either. In fact I gained 5 lbs this past week, and I don't know WHAT IS GOING ON! After being stalled for 2 weeks my surgeon told me that I needed to up my fluids because I was only getting in about 30oz a day, so I increased my Water and have been drinking btn 64-80oz a day, and as a result I gained 5lbs. I'm getting in 64-90 oz of fluids, eating 4 times a day, walking 3 times a day (15 min. each as instructed) and still nothing. I have read these threads where they tell ppl ' Oh don't worry, even though your not losing weight you are definitely losing inches' Well not for me, and I feel very very discouraged. I have over 100 lbs to lose and I don't think that I will lose even 1/4 of that. HELP, because I don't know what I'm doing wrong. P.S: I know there are a lot of threads about these dreadful stalls but I needed to vent and get some advice, HOPE YOU'RE NOT ANNOYED.

Hey Ya'll So yesterday I weighed myself and lost the 5 lbs that I gained, but I still consider myself still in a stall because I'm right back to where I was when I started stalling :-(. It will be 4 weeks on Monday and I'm a little worried because I have read about 3 week stalls not 4 weeks. I'm not upset like I was before but I will say that I'm a little hopeful as well.

Thank you so much you guys for giving me your words of encouragement and feedback. I read what ppl say about the stall, but it's different when the advice is directed towards you. I feel so much better . I usually eat tuna, eggs with cheese, or refried Beans, but I don't track my food. So I am taking your advice Indymom and I signed up with myfitnesspal, and it seems like a create helpful app. I will keep you all posted .

I was in the same boat, but I read on one of these threads that Flax seed oil from Whole Foods helped someone. That same day I went and bought it, and..... IT WORKS let me tell you. I go everyday now and I've been using it for a week. It did take 2 days for it to start working, but its better than taking milk of magnesia every other day.
