A 1/2 a hard boiled egg and a quarter of banana for breakfast...for dinner 1/4 cup of fat free refried Beans and another 1/2 of egg or another piece of cheese. 1 cup of fat free milk and a scoop of Protein powder..lots of Water all day...that is it..Why am I not seeing more of a steady loss?

I have experienced the same thing. My understanding is that this is a common time to stall. I am still only consuming full liquids (3 weeks post op) - can't wait to be able to eat tuna, cheese, Beans and egg!! I get to start on the 28th. I have also been told that not getting enough Protein will cause this too. Let me know if it breaks for you! I'm hoping mine will soon.

Stalls are so frustrating! But it sounds likw you are doing things right. The only thing you can really do is wait it out. You are doing great! Congratulations on the beginning of a new you!

Wow, I can't believe your eating all that food so soon. I was on liquids for the first 3 weeks and then pureed for 3 weeks, then soft foods for the next 3 weeks. Your stomach is swollen and needs some R&R to get over the trauma. Be careful you don't get a leak in your sleeve......Otherwise, your weight loss is really good....:)

Measure yourself. I still feel like I haven't lost weight but my pants are sagging and my tops are loose.

Getting more Protein, helped my stalls. Your body tries to go into 'starvation mode' otherwise. It's hard 2 get enough protein from foods, till your tummy can handle more volume. Try adding another Protein shake. Someone mentioned that you may be losing inches while not losing weight, that also happens. Just be patient, and follow what your doc/nut tell you. A few months from now, you will be amazed at your progress.
