So frustrated.

[kellygirl 5]

I was sleeved on July 31st. I'm down 25 pounds, but the scale has not moved in almost two weeks. I'm so frustrated because I know I'm not overeating by any means. If anything I might not be eating enough. I'm drinking a 20 oz bottle of Isopure with 40 grams of Protein everyday. I'm not drinking enough Water and wondering if this could be the cause. Has anyone else had this long of a stall this early on?

Stall's are common and you shouldn't let them get you all bent out of shape. That being said the 2 most important things are Water and Protein. You need to be getting a minimum of 64 oz of water a day or you will have problems, personally I drink 128oz a day. And protein should be a minimum of 70 grams a day, or more accurately is to figure out your weight in kilograms(pounds/2.2) and take that x 0.8 or 1.0 to give you your proper amount of protein in grams to start. Good Luck.

Thank you so much for your response Sleeve Master! I'm going to try to kick-up the Water and Protein and see where it takes me.

I'm in the same boat. I was sleeved a few days after you were and I lost about 25 lbs the first two weeks but have been stuck for a week and a half. I'm definitely not getting the Water intake I need so I'm trying to step that up as well

I was stalled from week 2 to about week 10. I am now 11 weeks and finally the scale moved another 10 lbs. I did lose inches so I decided I'd be okay with whatever my body did.

My suggestions: eat/drink at least 80-90 g Protein daily, try to work your Water up to at least 64 oz. avoid carby foods/drinks. I know it is tough but trust that your body is doing what it's supposed to.

Good luck to you guys!
