ucjes 25 Posted December 11, 2013 I'm so frustrated and discouraged. I was sleeved on nov 18 and lost 10 pounds the 1st week which I know was just Water mostly. So now here I am 2 weeks and 2 days into my "3 week stall." If actually really lasts 3 weeks I'm going to lose my s**t. I even gained 2 pounds. I get that fact my body is adjusting to the trauma of surgery and also trying to hold on to everything I put in it because it thinks I'm starving it. My understanding has turned into complete frustration. I decided to up my calories thinking that would help. I went from about 500 to about 800. 200 calories was just from my Protein Shake which I hate but i suck it down anyway. I know everyone that says this is normal but it doesn't feel like it. I just makes me feel like I'm failing. It makes me feel like I wasted $12,000 of my hard earned money...ugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sifford1 27 Posted December 11, 2013 Every person on here has had. Stall, I just had my 3 week post op stall as well! I gained two pounds , and it lasted two weeks +! I promise, it ends! Drink water! My np explained it like this ! If our bodies were cars, Water would be our gas! Water is the fuel that fires your metabolism! When this stall ends , lbs will start falling like butter!

Sherry73 94 Posted December 11, 2013 I am also in the stall. I am six weeks out and have not lost anything in three weeks. I did loose almost 40 pounds the first three weeks. I am ready for it to start coming off again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slw260 23 Posted December 11, 2013 I stalled at 3 weeks, too, and it turned out I was dehydrated. I had other symptoms, too (side and back pain, shoulder pain, constipation...) I forced down the Water and all my symptoms went away within 2-3 days and I lost 3 pounds. Try your best to drink as much water as you can get towards what your doctor wants to you drink.

totaloser 75 Posted December 11, 2013 Hang in there! This will pass and you will start losing again. Pay attention to your body and you'll notice it's still changing. Your measurements are continuing to get smaller even when the scale isn't moving. Quit weighing every day and save yourself the frustration. In another month you'll be amazed at the changes! 1 sleeveme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaAnn 564 Posted December 11, 2013 My 3 week stall lasted a full month! It was horrible and very emotional. But, this too shall pass. I'm 5 months out and 87lbs down! Just keep following your plan and you'll lose the weight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
