Let your body catch up. You had a large wt. loss that first week. Don't be a slave to your scale....it will come of.

It will happen! I go through stalls all the time. I'm getting used to them. Body loses a block of weight, then levels off for a while, then another little chunk comes off. Two months out and I'm down 27 lbs. Compared to some others, I am a slow loser, but I'll take it. You'll see - in a little while you'll look back and go, what was I freaking out about? Have faith!!

For the sake of your sanity try to rid yourself of any scale-related expectations. For those that don't do a preop diet, I think the average first month loss is between 20-30 pounds. I gained weight after surgery and didn't lose anything until the final ten days or so of my first month.

The scale is one of the most valuable tools you'll have when you're in maintenance and it's important to weigh at least weekly to track your progress and stay accountable. But in these early weeks/months when your body is still adjusting it's just going to make you crazy. Because you can't count on a loss and you're going to see stops and starts (and maybe even real stalls) along the way.

Good luck and congrats on the large loss so quickly and on your new sleeve,
