about to have a melt down.

Ok so yesterday I was three weeks out. I lost twenty pounds in the first week and a half and have been at a stall ever since. I'm doing everything I'm suppose to do..so what's the problem? Why am I not losing anymore. Someone please help me

You're still healing. Your body could go through all kind of swings. Weigh yourself once a week and just stick to the plan. Then, come back to this post a year from now and laugh your skinny ass off!

Dont feel bad Jami. I was sleeved May 3rd. I lost 13lbs the first week. Nothing the second week, and I gained a half pound this week.

I was 3 weeks out a couple of days ago. Lost 18lbs up to two week weigh in, then nothing when weighed on Thursday this week. But my body shape is changing and yesterday I bought a dress 2 sizes smaller than before!

As VSGKirk says, our bodies have had a bit of a trauma and are coming to terms with all sorts of new stuff. All we can do is not to panic, stick to what we should be doing and only stand on the scales once a week

Oh and read all the posts on this site about the three week stall, then relax. Others who have been trhough this say it will pass....

Good luck!

I've only been losing one pound a week after the initial 20 pounds post-surgery. It's VERY disheartening! I do low-carb, low-cal, high Protein, very busy n i go to the gym--all for that one pound. I'm 6 weeks out.

Don't get discouraged. You are doing all the right stuff it seems. It'll happen. Just making this step to even have the surgery is something to be proud of

I did that this morning.

Then I remembered it took me 16 months to get here.

20lbs in the first week sounds enormous and may have been partly due to dehydration. As your Fluid balance has improved but your weight hasn't increased you've probably lost weight in subsequent weeks. I was sleeved 3 weeks ago and have lost less than 20 lbs since - 7.7kg (I live in a metric world... Have to think about the conversion) - and I think that's great.... For me.
