So I had my sleeve march 18th day of I was 254 and I'm currently 240 mined you a lot of the weight lost was the first week but I can't seem to lose any weight. I been working out on the treadmill for 30min as of now I can't lift and I haven't lost any weight for almost two weeks now. TOM is almost over so I'm kinda confused. I drink two muscle milks and a Greek yogurt and I'm starting to be able to drink more Water. Have any of you gone though this? I guess I'm just disappointed in myself

It's perfectly normal to stall in your weight loss, especially between the two and four weeks out mark. If you don't believe me, use the search function here and look for "three week stall." You are not alone! Keep following your doctor's instructions and the weight will start to come off again. Don't be disappointed in yourself, you are doing great, I promise!

Don't be disappointed - it happens to almost everyone as Bufflehead stated above.

You just had major surgery and you're eating virtually nothing. Your body is thinking, "WTF????? What did you just do to me?" It's trying to figure out what just happened and how it's going to recover. You are still recovering. Be gentle with your body - if you take care of it, it will take care of you.

I have stalled numerous times in the past 4.5 months. They suck, but just stick to your plan - you'll come out on the other side of the stall just fine.

Hang in there, Sweetie. You didn't get to 254 pounds overnight - don't expect it to come off overnight. You're doing great.

Thank you so much. Your words have reassured me and that means a lot. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I feel much better knowing I'm not the only one and that it happens.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
