weight loss slowed



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 2-weeks ago today. I started tracking my weight daily when I got home and was losing 3-5 pounds daily. Now I'm only losing 1 pound a day. I'm scheduled to start stage 4 today but I'm worried I'll stop losing and maybe start gaining. Anyone have suggestions?

This happened to me too. I was sleeved on the 7th. The first 6 days, I was losing 3-4 pounds everyday. Then all of a sudden it just stopped. I am dropping very very slightly again but only about .5 lbs each day now. It's bizarre because I am really not getting that many calories in and am moving around quite a bit. I feel like I have seen so many others post about losing 35 pounds or more in the first month post surgery. Hoping to hear from others as well about this.

Read the link in my sig about stalls. You are getting to the point where you are likely to hit the 3 week stall. That's okay and perfectly normal. Do not try to reduce calories or delay moving on to the next phase because you are afraid of gaining weight. At this point in your journey your calories are so severely reduced if you do not start eating food eventually your body could go into starvation mode and that will really hinder your weight loss efforts.
