Pablo Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello, 
There are several reasons to have lack in the process. First try to get supervised in your process by a nutritionist and/or bariatric team. Remember that your food intake is small and your body thinks that you are sick and could possibly try to reduce the speed of your metabolism, the stall after the gastric sleeve is normal, this is your body adjusting to the new portions and quality of foods.

Don't get discourage and keep up the good work,
My Best Wishes,

Yes stalls are normal and even needed. Your body needs time to adjust and it does this during these phases. I'm including a video that explain a bit more on the subject. I hope this helps. warm regards, Dr. Alvarez
