Dec. 17 sleevers - Week 3 Stall?

[sars 7]

Mine is definitely here. In fact, I've even 'gained' a pound and a half.

This sucks! I loved that momentum of daily weight loss.

I'm down 24lbs and haven't lost since Mon or Tues.

What about you?

Same here. I was sleeved 12/19/12, and I've gained a pound since Monday. First no loss, then .2 or .4 gain each day. I really did love losing something everyday - it was so encouraging. I figure this, too, shall pass. We can't not lose weight eating 500-600 calories a day!

I have been giving this some thought, and it makes me glad I had the sleeve. Before, I might have gotten similar results while dieting, but after a couple of weeks with no loss, I would revert to bad eating habits. Now I'm forced to stay with it for the long haul, and I am confident the weight will continue to come off.

You should only weigh once a week, then you won't notice those little stalls. You should also take your measurements, because when you're not losing weight you're probably losing inches....your body has to catch up to! I had lost 7" in 12 days, will be doing them again plus taking new pics next Wed. at 4 weeks out to better see the changes my body is making. Good luck to you both...don't fret about the stalls...it's all part of the process.

I was sleeved 12/17 and have been stalled for the passed 2 weeks. It's extremely fustrating. It's seems common though so I'm just waiting for it to pass.

I was sleeved on 12/19 and when I went to post op visit didn't loose anything! But I started my cycle two days after surgery. The following week I got a URI. This week I am not a 100% but I got on the scale and I had lost 4 pounds so exciting. Wish I had list 20+ pounds but I haven't yet. This past week was my first time in the gym. Plus the mental aspect is harder than the actual surgery.

Hit the brick wall doing 60mph!! Total loss at my 3 week visit, 23lbs. My doc advised against daily weighing, but said if I could handle seeing the scale move up to feel free. I've lost ad gained the same 1.5 lbs all week.
