If your newly sleeved a 3 week stall is normal from what Ive read. If not analyze what your eating, reducing carbs , increasing Water and protein! its annoying Im sure but It will come off. Your body is like "wtf" is going on and has to catch up!

^{This surgery is fantastic in that it can be a quick solution to a big problem, but that doesn't mean it's lightening fast. You have to give your body time to adjust. You will have weeks where you stall, or even gain a bit, and you will have weeks where you drop 5+ pounds. Decrease your caloric intake, increase your exercise/water/protein and I bet you see a difference.}

^{Stick with it, you can do this! We've all been there!}

I just went through a 3 week stall Tabs. It was my first one...I had a way bigger BMI than yours.. I just now started back going downward..in fact the scale fluctuated up and down a pound or two for that 3 weeks and I was like.."Wth"...so I kept the course..exercise..eating correctly...and sure enough ...it's coming down again...hang in there...I think it's just the process our bodies have to get through to release the extra weight...very frustrating yea..but it will come off.

What is your BMI now?

You don't give a lot of details about what you are eating/drinking but going back to your basic sleeve rules will jump start your weight. I can share more specifics, but I have dealt with hunger returning since about month 7. I think I have found a way to minimize it so I am not battling it - and it is all about the foods I chose to eat and basically, following the sleeve rules. I think exercise helps too - boosts your endorphins, makes you feel better, motivates you to stay with your eating plan and burns a few calories too.

Hi Tabb - I too have dealt with this. My surgery was 8/15/11 and I started at 241 and lost to 181 by January 2012. I have not lost any weight since then (actually I gained 10 lbs back). I have been watching what I eat and exercising. I haven't been 100% with tracking & eating right every time but I eat way less than I used to and I exercise and have just stalled out. It is frustrating!

tabbymonroe, when i first had my surgery 3 years ago, I hit a stall that drove me crazy! I had been losing so great, then boom at exactly one year i stalled for 7 MONTHS. . . it was crazy! no weight loss, no weight gain. . .I had really thought this was it! then one day it just moved, I lost another 10 - 15 lbs and that was it, BUT i did reach my goal the doctor had put out for me plus 12 lbs more, so that is what I call success. . . now at 3+ years out I'm still the same weight and am maintaining beautifully. . .I don't worry about anything anymore. . .I finally love myself and accept myself for who I am. . . good luck, it'll happen for you too. .

My BMI is 31, my doctor told me not to worry about what i was eating because i wasnt eating much at the time. I dont count calories or know how many I should be eating in a day. i eat ver few carbs because they fill my stomach so quick. I do eat alot of meat, some veggies and lots of dairy. i dont really know what i should be eating. I do know that I need to move my body more and I just started a workout plan last week and lost 2 pounds so far. This week I will go back to the south beach diet and start again. I am smaller then I have ever been but for my loss to stop now would be such a let down
