Stalling....[emoji20]

I know I have read several people have stalls in the beginning so I somewhat expected it but it's not fun! I weigh myself every morning in hopes that the number went down even just a couple ounces. I had my sleeve Jan 31 I lost 10lb pre op and 9.6 lb the first week post op. The 2nd week I lost 2 more lbs the first day and now 5 days at the same exact weight. I'm trying not to get discouraged though! All this excess weight didn't come on overnight so i shouldn't expect it to all come off overnight.

Hang in there, it will happen! I went through several stalls in my 260 pound weight loss journey. Every single one was worth the final result. You have got this!

Thanks SuperDave!! Just curious when you had stalls in the beginning how long do they usually last? I will be 2 weeks post op on Tuesday and I will get to move on to puréed foods. I've been at a stall for 5 days.

I had my first stall at 3 weeks, then probably every 2-3 months after that. They suck, but they pass. My worst was at 240 pounds, and lasted 3 months. I really thought I was done losing, but I didn't give in. I went on to lose another 55 pounds after that. Moving to the next stage may help break the stall as well, it always did for me. Your body gets used to a routine and needs to get shaken up once in a while.

Congrats on your weight loss and thank you for the motivation!!

I am the same exactly three weeks and stall it is frustrating as I am barely eating I guess my body is just fighting it to keep as it use to be deep breath and patience I guess

It might be that you are not eating enough.

How many calories a day/protein/carbs a day, do you get?

Well after 5 days the scale finally went down!! Yay!! I just tried focusing on making sure I met my Protein goal and plenty of fluids. I had previously had issues getting 64 oz in per day. Trying really hard to do better at that.

Maybe my doctor have me in 3 full weeks liquid diet after surgery I can hardly make 300-400 calories I get all Protein intake thanks to the Protein  powder , good news is that next Friday I can start purée foods hope it helps

Sounds very similar to me (RNY 1/26). On another thread they reminded folks that a) different people lose differently and the lighter you are to begin with the slower it will go. Two pounds a week CONSISTENTLY without backsliding will still be a blessing imho.
