Weight loss stall

Thanks everyone for replies -appreciate people taking the time and trouble to answer me :), so I tried to chill a bit and not weigh so often and I have lost the extra weight I ended up putting on and another 1 and 1/2 kilos.  Exactly why I have dropped I don't know.  The body is a weird thing lol, I just hope it continues. I did start drinking even more (herbal tea etc) and replaced two meals with protein and fruit smoothies. So who knows?

Hi guys - I too am in the same boat. I'm 2 weeks post sleeve @ haven't drop a gram since last Thursday! I know I'm not getting enough calories so probably in starvation mode but I just have no desire to eat! I'd be lucky to be getting 300-400 calories. I would have thought id be dropping something, anything even if I'm in starvation mode. It's quite depressing! 

I hope thinks start to look up for us all and we get on track to losing our excess weight soon!

Hi kaznik I am feeling your pain.  It is terrifying.  I was sleeved on the 29th October.  I lost 8 kilos in the first ten days (I did not weigh at home at the time, just at docs office) but I have not lost a gram since since I started weighing at home.  That is two and a half weeks.  I have recorded every gram in my mouth via calorie king (I am talking weighing the milk in my coffee people! lol).  Then put it on a spreadsheet.  Geeky.  Here are my averages:

Cals

Fat

Prot.

Carb.

Sugar

Fibre

Sod.

813

26

61

31

21

5

765

I know no one can really help me but I am feeling sad, like you.  I don't know whether my scale can smell my fear, and that is why, or whether I just need to move my butt.  Obviously i do need to move more, but seriously, that average is low enough to drop one would think.  Sigh.  I am really worried this thing is not doing what it said on the packet so to speak.

So all I can do is feel sad with you.  There are not many desperate posts about stalls this close to surgery.  I have a total of 30-40 kilos to lose all up.  What about you?

Wendy, I love CalorieKing - don't you?  So easy. I have been trying to put the result into my new fitbit calories manaully but is a bit of a mess around.  Hence the spreadsheet.  But it does make sense seeing it all together and all in once place day by day on my trusty spreadsheet. : )

Hi Kaznik, How frustrating for you.  One thing I have done is joined Calorie King's website.  My dietitian told me I didn't need to count calories but that my intake should be around 1000 calories a day.  So, rather than mapping this every day, what I do is just a couple of times a week, go into Calorie King and enter my intake for that day.

The reason I am telling you this is that if you are getting too few calories, your body tends to go into a sort of "starvation mode" and slows your metabolism to hold onto what you have - maybe you could try counting your calories for a couple of days and see if you are getting the right amount.

Unfortunately, if you are already conscious of protein and water intake, I don't know what else I can suggest.  As far as movement goes, I sometimes daggily engage in armchair exercise or do some stuff on my bed before I go to bed. It's hardly a proper workout, but at least it is moving so much burn SOME energy.

Best of luck for movement on the scales and tape measure soon,

Hi everyone - well I have read several posts on here about stalls but just need some reassurance that weight loss will continue.  It is over three weeks since I lost any weight and as a matter of fact I had put on two kilos this morning (don't get my period anymore so not that).  I have generally been really good and cannot eat a lot so it's not calories.  But because of my back injury have not been able to do too much exercise - but have walked about half a k several times a week (that's a lot for me and very painful to do).  Just started measuring myself so won't see any loss there for a while, what else can I do?   I am a long way from goal. My op was 12/9/14 so it is ten weeks - what can I do to tweak things?  Eating protein every meal and drinking water as much as I can.

Please help - feel bit down.
