The scale does not seem to move even if i am doing evrything i was told to do. I WALK 3 MILES EVERY DAY. So far i have lost 16 lbs. Going into my 4th week on monday. What is the average weight loss for the first month and any advice as to why my body has stopped losing weight?

I have heard many people hit a 3 week stall. They said to keep drinking Water, get in lots of Protein and continue walking and it should break on its own. Don't get discouraged, just stick with the plan.


Sleeved 10/10/17 • HW 280 (3/1/17) • SW 259 (10/10) • GW 180 (TBD)

You've lost 16 pounds in the first 2 weeks. You're on target.

Look up the 3-week stall or 'third week stall.' It's a real phenomenon that most sleevers experience during the 2nd and 4th week post-op, but usually it happens around week 3.

In addition, when is the last time you lost 16 pounds in less than 3 weeks? I assume the answer is 'never.' Realistic expectations are important throughout the weight loss phase.

The vast majority of my monthly losses were single digit (read: 1 to 7 pounds per month). What matters to me is the bigger picture: I lost 100+ pounds and have kept it off.

Good luck to you, and try to stay off the scale for a few weeks.
