butta1074 68 Posted December 11, 2012 I was sleeved on November 13th and i've lost a total of 22 pounds. Today makes the end of week 4 for me. i think i'm at a stall because that's how much i weighed in at 2 weeks ago at my second dr's visit. What i notice is i'm losing inches because my clothes are fitting a lot looser. I'm just going to stay focused and stay off the scale. I've been back in the gym since the 6th day after my surgery and i'm able to do the elipitical for 30mins at a resistance of 8 and incline of 10 3-5 days a week. I thank god i had no complications and have never thrown up or had the urge too. Sometimes i question if my surgery was actually done because it went so well, but reality kicks in when after taking 2-3 bites of something i'm sooooo full, lol. 1 BabyHuey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just make sure your getting in your Protein and liquids you will see a change shortly. I am at the end of my 5th week and I have had two stalls so far. I just put my scale up on the shelf and kept it moving, I will not let those numbers define me. I'll take the inches anytime! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I finally moved the scale. My nut said that around this time the body goes into hibernation. Your weight loss slows you feel tired and your body is holding everything waiting for you to go back to old eating. You can trick it by adding the Protein and Water and upping exercise. It will start soon hang in there. 3 CoCo41, IsB and Soli3l reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boston George 84 Posted December 13, 2012 Ok everyone... I was sleeved on Nov 12th' date=' and weighed 240. My first week I lost 10 pds and my second another 10... Which was Awesome!!! But since then "0" WTFudge is going on! :-( This is my sample menu: B: 1 EGG OR 5OZ Protein shake L: 4 SHRIMP OR 2OZ tuna D: 2OZ SALMON OR 1/4 CRAB meat SNACK: cheese STICK OR 5OZ Protein shake I'm tracking my calories and I am under 300 - 350 max. What is wrong??? Anyone else struggling??? Is this normal???[/quote'] Just be patient and give it a little more time. Make sure your getting your fluids in, especially Water. That's so important. My 4th week I was stalking, I called my NUT, showed her a sample of my diet. She said I wasn't eating or drinking enough. My diet looked alot like yours. So I added 1 more small meal and 12 more oz's of Water. Last week I dropped 5lbs. Maybe something to think about? Either way you will lose weight, I promise. Good luck :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
