You've lost a large amount of weight in 2 weeks. Great start. Weight will keep dropping if you keep following your plan. You may not see a drop every day or every week even but it will continue. Your body is still healing from major surgery and needs to adjust every so often to dropping the lbs. Good luck on your journey!

I am 2 weeks PO on Monday and I too have reached the stall. Including my 2 week pre op diet I am down 30lbs. It is frustrating to me because I'm not able to eat anything and I'm still not losing, but it makes sense that there is an adjustment period!!! Keep your head up, you're not alone!!! Hope you're healing well!!! :)

Exactly how I'm feeling... Can't eat, & slow process... Thank you for the well wish, healing pretty well, but still very sore along with gas & what feels like terrible reflux!

Don't be frusrated, you are only 2 weeks in. You knew going into this that it takes longer than 2 weeks. There will be stalls and its ok. In my stall days i think my clothes actually got looser during those days than when i was losing. Hang in there and remember this will take time.

Sorry, but I can't find any way to say this that doesn't sound mean - cause it's not meant to be. It's only a reality check.

Buuuuut, Really?????????? Two weeks post op and already stalling? You might want to consider having a sleeve revision. :P

Yes, 2 weeks and stalling wasn't expected, had no idea it would happen so soon. I just wanted to hear other stories of if in fact it has happened to anyone else!

A large majority of us stall between the 2-3 week. Just keep doing what your doing and it will start up again eventually.

I think it would be a big ask of our bodies to sustain that sort of weight loss continuously. I'm just a couple of days over 3 months post op and have had several short periods of stalling and even twice regained a little weight - and I'm post menopausal so can't blame Fluid and hormones! Always comes right in the end.

Post sleeve we eat such ridiculously low calories, ( are you tracking your food so sure of your calorie intake?) that you WILL eventually continue to lose weight. Either than or you're a medical miracle!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
