I'm incredibly depressed. I was sleeved on 10/3/12. The first three weeks I dropped 20 lbs. Then the dreaded stall came. I didn't loose a thing until November 16 when I dropped 3 more pounds. I haven't lost a pound since. So my total post op loss is 22 with only a two pound loss in the months of November. Has anyone had this happen to them? Does the weight loss pick up again? I feel like maybe this surgery won't work, like all the other weight loss efforts I tried . I am eating and exceeding and drinking Water. Don't know what else to do.

I felt the weight should be melting off too! I wonder if the weight loss will pick up at any point.

It's so frustrating when I follow the plan and am still A slow looser.

How much Water are you drinking? How much Protein are you getting in and how much carbohydrates? Are you staying between 20-30 grams of Protein? At 6 weeks I was getting in about 600 calories a day if that, and 60-70 grams of protein and about 20 grams of carbohydrates a day.

I'm stalled at this moment myself, because of mistakes I am making, each stall I had is because I wasn't drinking enough Water, I wasn't counting my carbs and my calories or I was bound up and not going potty.

There was always a real reason for my stall, including at one point I was losing inches and building muscles.

What do you think the issue is? Are you counting calories, carbs, water & protein?

I'm right within the allotted calories, carb, and protein intake. And I drink my water. A typical day for me is 1 hard boiled egg (I'm lucky if I can finish it), tuna for lunch (I'm lucky if I can eat half a cup), and for dinner Greek yogurt. You would think I would loose but it just isn't happening. The one time I did loose I gave in and had a cupcake. I just wonder if anyone has had this problem. It seems like everyone else is dropping weight like crazy.

Sounds to me like you need to step up Protein and just remember you can never have too much Water.< /p>

eat protien every 2-3 hrs like clock work remember Protein first

Don't worry - some of us lose slower than others - we all have different patterns. I am coming up on month 7 post surgery - had a month long stall in Sept and am coming off another one now - I am not losing as fast as I would like either but the trend is always down. Before surgery it was always up, settle, then you are up some more until you I was shocked and dismayed - all the way to 318 lbs.

Its the trend over time - 2 years it often takes to get it off - according to statistics.
