Yes' date=' I've been stuck since 6/21[/quote']

Is that normal?

[puchy123 56]

Not, sure I was told I wasn't eating enough and my body think I starving my self so it shut down. I started eating more frequent small meals but still nothing also I'm walking everyday. I also read that Protein intake is very important. I'm not sure though. I'm trying to stay positive. Good luck to you and let's hope this is temporary.

Thanks! I'm sure that's my problem too.

In the search box, if you type in "3 week stall" you will see it is normal for sleevers. hope this helps. (It's a lot of reading that will pop up!!)

It is very common to have a stall around the 1 month mark, stick to your plan and try tracking measurements a lot of people find that while there weight isn't going down there measurements are. There are also many posts out there about trying to increase this or that to restimulate weight loss, I don't know if these things actually work or just give you that sense you are doing something but hey it couldn't hurt to try I guess. But if you are getting your Protein and fluids in and keeping your calories and carbs in the proper ranges for you then your weight loss will catch up. The most important thing is to not give up. Good Luck.

Thank you! I will get a measuring tape. I haven't been doing a good job with Protein, but I'm starting now!

Have you read the link that is in Butterthebean's signature? It's really helpful and explains the science behind plateaus after surgery. Here it is, if you haven't see it: http://www.dsfacts.c...or-plateau.html

If you haven't been getting your Protein, you will want to ensure you do so...you don't want your body to break down your muscle (which actually helps the weight loss) rather than fat.
