Trying to be patient...
VSG on 06/25/12
I've been at the same weight for almost a week now and am trying to be patient. I know that stalls are completely normal and can last several weeks. I'm sticking with my doctors plan and staying the course. But I wouldn't be human if I wasn't feeling a bit frustrated. Anybody else who was sleeved around the time that I was in the same boat (June25) and facing your first stall?

I thought I had the 3 week stall come early. I have been watching the scale for a couple of days and it would go up and down 1lb. It's natural to be frustrated. Just keep following the plan and before you know it, the scale will start moving again.

I was sleeved on the 26th and I hear you. My weight was an exciting 249.4 on Monday, then Tuesday 251.4. Wednesday 250.4, then 250.8 today. My first despairing thought this morning was "Is this it? Did I do all this for 20#? Am I going to be the 1 person this doesn't work for?"
That's when I realised that all I can really do is put on my big girl panties and follow the program on faith. I can't control that blasted scale, but I can control what I put in my mouth, so I'll just carry on. I've managed 50 grams of protein so far and am working on my 5th glass of water. I'm not recording today's weight - I'll darned well out stubborn the scale.
Naturally, my sister, who was sleeved the same day at 70# less than me, is still losing a bit each day. Hmph.

I was sleeved the same day! I lost 18 lbs the first week and only 3 lbs since. Still on full liquid. I finally made my hubby hide the scale because I get obsessive on looking all the time. He took my measurements instead and at 2 week I was down 7.5 inches. 2.5 on my hips, so if you are not seeing it on the scale try taking your measurements.
I am also stuggling with getting exercise in, 106 degree weather and 3 kids on summer break! Life is crazy. Good luck, keep sharing your successes!
