4 Week Update (the dreaded stall)

[vinniej3 139]

Yesterday marked 4 weeks since the sleeve. The first three weeks showed an incredible loss of 24 pounds. I hopped on the scale yesterday, and no loss (cue the music... duh, duh, duh)... the dreaded stall. Oh well, I'll take 24 pounds in a month. Plus, I'm down a few sizes in clothes, I can wear my wedding ring and I got to buy clothes from a regular store and they actually fit. I know I'm doing a good job eating (getting my Protein in and staying around 1000 calories a day), but I'm determined to get through this stall. I knew it was coming, but it is demoralizing nonetheless. Here's to a great start to the next 4 weeks and another 20 lbs lost forever!

fagedaboudit. You are doing really well... stay away from the scale for a week. Might help your head!

A few days with no loss does not a stall make. My weight loss since surgery has averaged out at about 8-10 pounds a month at three months out, so while 20 is an awesome thing to hope for, do not get upset if it's not reality.

Congrats on your awesome success so far! You are doing fantastic.

Same thing happened to me. Even though I knew there would be stalls, I took it really hard. LOL. In the last few days I have seen some weight loss, but I seem to be meandering. You're doing really well and this will pass. It is unpleasant to stall, though!

You're doing great....I'm 4 weeks out and down 17 pounds....I'm not worried about it, but I'm afraid of my dr's appointment next week and hearing that I haven't lost enough...
