Possibly a stall? Help please

[copper 11]

I had VGS August 28. Recovered well.

I'm on puréed food now. I lost 13 pounds since surgery date. The last record of loss was September 5. Been following the program perfectly. Getting over 100 g of Protein. Over 100 ounces of Fluid. Today showed gain of 1 pound. Getting exercise in every day. What am I doing wrong?

You aren't doing anything wrong, except perhaps having unrealistic expectations about the rate and pattern of your projected weight loss.

Sleeved weight loss doesn't happen in a perfectly linear manner. We lose pounds, then stall/plateau on occasion, then may even gain a couple of pounds of Fluid before dropping more weight.

You've lost 13 pounds in less than 2 weeks. Nothing is wrong. When is the last time you lost 13 pounds in less than 2 weeks with plain old diet/exercise? I assume the answer is "Never."

Also, look up the terms "3 week stall" and "third week stall." The notorious phenomenon is so common it has a name. Most sleevers stall sometime between weeks 2 and 4, with the third week being the most common. Like me, your stall started a week early.

The scale will move again. However, daily weigh-ins seem to be creating unwarranted anxiety, so I gently suggest you reduce the frequency and weigh yourself only once weekly.

Good luck to you.
