newat52 1,613 Posted March 30, 2013 A stall is typical at about 3 weeks. Your body needs time to catch up. Keep following what your Dr. said. You may be losing inches. If you look through the site you will find hundreds of posts about a 3 week stall. It will come off. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colemon70 87 Posted March 30, 2013 Sleeved on 3/26 - had to stay an extra night in the hospital because I couldn't get liquids down without major spasms' date=' and the Glucerna shakes they gave me i just couldn't tolerate. I've been home for 2 days now - finally got an entire Protein Drink in yesterday, but it took me almost all day. I used the nectar vanilla Bean Torte flavor mixed with Water. Can't do the milk based stuff yet. Other than that, just tea, water, crystal lite, and Popsicles trying to get my fluids in. Doc told me to worry more about fluids than Protein at first. Thankfully I only gained about 2 pounds post-op, and I've lost that plus another 2 since I came home (as of yesterday). I didn't have to do a pre-op diet like most of you did, and I didn't come home with a drain. I'm on liquids only (no puréed food or anything) until my 3 week post-op appt on 4/12. I've been finding that having tea or something warm first helps with the spasms. I'm going to call on Monday if they don't start getting better. It may still be gas pain...who knows! At least I feel better than I did!! Thanks to everyone who has posted for helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel!![/quote'] I was sleeved the same day! It sounds like you are doing pretty good! I haven't been able to do a whole protein drink yet. I'm hoping today is the day. Have you had a BM yet? I haven't.

d.myers 7 Posted March 30, 2013 I was sleeved on 3/5. Had lost 21 lbs since, but over the past few days, I've gained 2 lbs back. Am I the only loser who has gained weight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
staceysassygal 2 Posted March 30, 2013 Same exact thing for me. My surgery on 3/5 and lost 21lbs and I have not to lost any in a week. I am just going to take the advice of others and stop weighting myself. I find myself doing it way to often and being dissapointed. From what others have said a 3-4 week stall is normal because your body adjusting. I think it will all work out we just need to have patience 1 Sherriews@yahoo.com reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d.myers 7 Posted March 30, 2013 New pact made...we keep doing what we are suppose to and stay off the scales. They aren't the only measure of our success. 3 Colemon70, Sherriews@yahoo.com and Sunshine1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilbuddhaxo 20 Posted March 30, 2013 I'm like 2.5 weeks out and scale has been the same for like four days except two days ago it went down 3 then up 4 and now it's back where it was. LoL depressing but I knowwww this happens to everyone it seems. Just stinks to have dropped 20 lbs like nothing and now I am stuck! Was hoping to be under 300 by the time I go back to work. Wwwaaaaa.
