High Expectations?
Just wondering? Had sleeve surgery August 26, 2014 and have lost about 23 lbs. Yet it seems as if in the last week I.i HAVE NOT LOST ANY WEIGHT, actually it appears as if I gained a lb or two??? I log everything I eat and I know I do not eat more than 800 calories a day. I'm getting in my protein most days, not eating fatty foods and I'm drinking my water. I haven't started exercising yet but still I WOULD THINK i WOULD BE LOSING WEIGHT!? Is it possible I've come to a stall or plateau already just 3 weeks post surgery? Strange???
You've lost 23 pounds in less than a month?! That's super awesome!!
Weight loss is not a constant steady thing. You'll have stalls and plateaus and even day to day fluctuations in the upward direction. If you want to maintain your sanity, get used to it ;)

I was the same in fact I've stalled through out the whole time (5 months tomorrow****pt thinking am I the one that's not going to lose weight with this surgery well I was wrong I still have stalls but I'm down 77lbs. Since April 17th and I feel amazing can't wait to see how far this sleeve takes me just stay on track and it will definitely come off good luck on your journey
I'm happy someone posted this. I had no idea about stalls so now I will not be as discouraged when one happens. I am 6 days post surgery and have been (lightly) exercising since day 1. I would definitely recommend making that a part of your everyday routine starting asap. Best to make life changes now than to try to add them later.
