Finally the scales are moving...

[nagaraj 2]

After almost a lllloooonnnnggg 4 week stall the scales are moving again, thankfully downwards. I lost a total of 30 pounds since getting sleeved on Dec 21. Thank you all for the encouragement, but for your support it would have been difficult to stay positive.:smile: BMI down from 41 to 36

Congratulations! I had the exact thing happen to me! I was sleeved Dec. 22 and was stuck for almost a month, and the scale just went down two pounds! Good luck with your weightloss!

It happened to me too!!! Sleeved Dec 10 , lost 25 pounds and 15 days not an ounce.

Finally yesterday 2 more down.

I was relieved , thought that all of this was only to loose 25 pounds.

Same for me but I'm so worried the 2 pounds is it for another 3 weeks.

Hello all...I was sleeved on Dec 11th and I had the same thing happen...only it has happened twice now. I lost 20 lbs almost immediately and then stalled for 3 weeks. After that, I finally dropped another 9 lbs, but now I have stalled AGAIN (been going up and down the same 1lb for 3 weeks now). It really is discouraging, but I'm hanging in there. I know drinking lots of Water helps, and I have a hard time drinking enough. I also have been finding myself more hungry lately...I think I need to try and not go so long in between meals. Anyone have any other suggestions? Also, what Vitamins are you all taking? Thanks! Pattio

Its depressing. I think I need alot more help than a few sheets of paper stapled together from my doc letting me know all about the RNY diet.

STALLS STINK!! I was sleeved on Dec 8th. By January 11, I had lost 40 pounds. (some of that was from being hospitalized for 11 days around week 3). Since January 11, I have only lost one pound! That is all in 23 days! I am getting in good calories now (at least 650 - 700), carbs in the 20's, Fat in the 20's, and Protein in the 75 - 90 range. Drinking lots of Water and doing eliptical or walking everyday. Somebody tell me what gives? For a while I was patient with the stall but everyday it gets more and more frustrating. Have I gone thru all of this ordeal for just 40 lbs? Do our bodies find a comfortable spot and decide to maintain there?

I sure wish it would go back to week 2 and 3 when the scale moved even a little bit everyday. Jeez!!! I did have to go buy a few slacks this weekend and was able to go from a very tight 18 to a comfortable 16. So I guess that is an accomplishment in itself for 2 months - but the scale needs to MOVE!

This is exactly why i refuse to keep a scale in my house. . i would be so depressed with myself, i'd cry. . . i go to visit my doctor for my 1st month out on the 16th and will see what i've lost at that time. . . can't wait, i know i've lost a bunch because my clothes are really loosely hanging and people keep telling me "your fading away" "aren't you loosing too quickly?" . . . so even though I can't really tell other then loose clothes, I'm sure it's coming off. . . good luck everyone!

These posts are very encouraging to me. I've been stalled for 4 weeks now and am trying hard to stay un-discouraged! I did have an NSV - I was able to get back in some size 16 jeans that I haven't been able to wear for 6 or more months!

Lucygoose you sound JUST like me I'm in the same boat.

It makes me stay away from some threads where people are all "I love my sleeve" lately. I feel like such a failure. Until that scale moves down in a substantial manner I'm really scared.

I am having the same problem! I have been bouncing up and down the same 2 pounds for 2 weeks now. I get so depressed that I went through this ordeal and the loss has stopped already but I know deep down that it is just a stall and I WILL get losing again soon. It is hard to look on the bright side, but it is helpful to see that it happens to us all....guess misery loves company, right?
