Need advice 3 weeks out and weight hasn't changed in 12 days

[Catherine Keegan 14]

Hi all I'm just wondering has any other sleevers experienced a weight loss stall in the early stages post surgery. So total since two weeks pre op duet is 23 pounds and I'm almost 3 weeks out and my weight hasn't changed in nearly two weeks. I've also begun exercising and hand to god have not cheated I've been following surgeon instructions.

I accept it's such a huge change to my body but can't totally figure out how to get my weight moving.

I would appreciate any advice...

I am 4 weeks out and have been stalled for 2 weeks. They say it is very normal to have a 3 and/or 4 week stall. Im hoping I see some change on the scale this week since I can begin eating solids again! J

Thanks for that reply I'm struggling a bit but hopefully like you say it's perfectly normal to have a stall. Fingers crossed for you too that the scales shifts!

It is very discouraging. My surgeon told me that even if the scale isn't moving we are still losing inches. I guess I should invest in a measuring tape so I can see the results for myself. lol Good luck with your sleeve!

I am about five months out and have encountered this scenario repeatedly. My weight loss graph looks like steps. My surgeon said it was fine and not to worry. Stick with it, your weight will drop, but not (in my experience) at a steady rate. I wish someone had mentioned this to me when I was just starting out, would have saved me a lot of anxiety.

Thanks so much for your help. I feel better already now just knowing that other people have had similar experiences.
