April 6 Surgery - STALLED!!!

[cre8tivetara 3]

Guys, I need some encouragement here. I had my sleeve done on April 6, and everything went as planned. However, after losing 21 pounds in fourteen days, I have been stalled for a week! I'm seriously crashing here, because it's like all my failures in weight loss are coming back! I am following the dietician's recommendations to the letter, walking 2 miles each day. . .HELP!!!

the infamous three-week stall, right on time! Almost all of us experience that - if you do a search on it on this site, you will find over 17,000 posts on it (and no, I am NOT kidding).

Just stick to your program and stay off the scale for a few days if you have to. It WILL break - it always does. They typically last 1-3 weeks. And just so you know, you're likely to hit a few of these along your journey. Just hold tight and stick to your plan...

Stay away from the scale!! The stall will break. Try measuring during this time. I'm at a stall now, almost 5 months po, and even though the scale isn't moving, I'm losing inches!

Stick to the plan, it will happen.

Hey Sleeve twin! My surgery was on the same day. I stalled at week 3 after vsg. We are just over 2 months out. My surgery weigh in was 118kg and now I am 106. Ive already had one stall and I am pretty sure i am now at my second stall.

I think our bodies have "set points" or different weights our body wants to be. I think I had/have five "set points". I stayed on my first one for two weeks, my second set point (stall) lasted a week and I just broke thru and lost 3 pounds in two days. Set points are hard to break thru but with our wls tool, it is much easier than before. Good Luck!
