Luka Wood 0 Posted January 11, 2015 I got sleeved on Dec 15. Went back to work on Jan 6 and I am doing great. Eating my mushy foods, getting 60 grams of Protein down and at least 48 oz of Water. I struggle with the water. On the first 2 weeks I lost a lot. I am down 32 lbs but for week 3 and 4 post op I have been kind of stable. Anyone having a Plateau like me?? I am for the first time 100% sure that I am doing everything correct. So I am a little confused and worried. What am I doing wrong?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MeAndTinyTina 241 Posted January 11, 2015 I had a plateau from weeks 3-5. From what I read on this forum, a plateau at that time is very, very common. You can search this site and there are lots of threads on the subject. Good luck and don't worry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babbs 14,681 Posted January 11, 2015 Yup, completely normal. Search "The Dreaded 3 Week Stall" either on Google or these forums and you will find much information about why it happens and how common it is. This won't be your last, either. Best advice is to not weigh yourself every day as to avoid the annoying fluctuations that normally happen as we go through this. I know it's tempting to weigh everyday in the beginning as the weight is just falling off, but soon your body adjusts and the weight loss starts to even out a little and slow down.

Breezy31 30 Posted January 11, 2015 I had stalls at weeks 3, 6, and 10. My doctor explained it to me in medical terms. From what I gathered it is do to the shock our body is going through. It is completely normal. Keep doing what you ate doing and your body will catch up. I promise! My HW was 316 SW 312 PreOp 279 CW 211. January 30th will be 6 months since my surgery. You are doing great! Stay focused!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
