I was sleeved on march 22nd. I have lost 30 pounds on the dot and am at 275. The scale has not moved in 5days!!! Has anyone else had this problem? It's so depressing. I get up every morning and it was fluctuated from 277 to 274. What is going on!!! I don't see how I'm not losing because I'm barely eating anything! :-(

I lost really fast in the beginning. I was sleeved 12/7 and lost 21 pounds that month. I go through periods of not losing weight for a week, then I will lose 8 pounds total for the month. I know it is frustrating, but your body is going thru alot right now. You will start losing again.

Do a search on the site for 3 week stall. It is quite common.

I stalled almost exactly at three weeks too. Many do. The scale will move again soon.

You are doing great! I was sleeved on 3/12 and I have lost 15 pounds. I'm really hoping for a bigger loss this week, I seem to be losing pretty slow. 30 pounds in 2 weeks is great!!!!

I'm thinking a lot of it is Water weight. Everyone is telling me they can tell losing inches but when the scale doesn't move it is depressing. Congrats to everyone! How are y'all feeling? I am so amazed at how little I can eat. I made some scrambled eggs and ate them for the first time and was done after only a couple of bites!!! I am holding everything down so far. Gaining energy back surely but slowly.

I am starting my 3rd week and I have been stalled for about 5 days now. I understand your frustration. Everyone on here says it will pass. I am ready for it too. I like seeing the pounds melt off..the stall is quite annoying :(

I get a natural high when I see the scale drop!! I started at 305 and 275 is not being nice to me at all!!! I can't understand how I'm not losing if I'm barely eating. But it seems to be pretty common.

And I just walked 1/2 a mile pushing my 2 year old in a wagon so maybe that will help! Also. It is that "time" and my sister in law is a nurse practitioner and she said after that is over I may see some pounds drop.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
