I'm 3 months out and sometimes have the same thing and I can't attribute it to any one thing. Mine is certainly not bad enough to see the doctor, but stopping way before I'm full seems to help? Good luck to you! Hope it ends soon.

@Pinkgirl1234.....my routine, it's not perfect, but whose is? I try try try to get my Protein in via my premier Protein shakes....I try try try to get all my Water in, my Vitamins, etc....I also avoid snacking. I tried not to get impatient during stalls (they happen AND THEY PASS). I stop eating before I'm full and I always take the stairs. Of course, there's a shit ton of stuff in between.... Thanks for the Hoo-rahs!

Really, all I wanted to say is in my Topic Title. I'm beyond happy and feel fantastic. That is all. Carry on.

I gained nearly 10 pounds after the surgery, but lost that all within 5 days.

What terrific answers! Great, great group of people. I think I will take all of your advice at not weighing every morning despite the fact that that was my doctors recommendation. That's a crazy maker.

So after dropping 31 pounds rather quickly, I hit the dreaded 3 week stall. I was stuck for 13 days before the scale dipped again. I know that stalls are a normal part of the process, but they mess with your head, don't they? I found myself saying that perhaps I should not have my 160 calorie Protein shake, which I immediately knew was ridiculous thinking considering since my calorie intake is around 500 a day and of course I did NOT skip my shake but stuck with the program. My question is, I hear a lot of very smart people on this site say "Embrace the stall". If you are one of those people, would you kindly please explain to me what that means to you? I think I need a different prospective than the one that I have. All sage wisdom is welcome, including sarcasm.

I am 4 weeks out and at about 21/2 weeks, I had lost 31 pounds then BAM 13 day stall! So frustrating, BUT NORMAL. It felt fantastic to finally move past that mark today. HANG IN THERE!

I finally got past the stall which I know are part of the norm, but again.....I have all the information and education about stalls, I understand the rationalization, but still...stalls mess with your mind. The support here is WONDERFUL.

I'm two weeks out and the scale hasn't moved for 3 days. That being said, I've lost an astounding 29 pounds in two weeks! I'm 100% compliant and I'm walking/running every night so I know it's just a matter of time before my body readjusts and starts losing again...but YES, stalls mess with your mind, especially this early in. Let's hang in there! We can do this!

@ Appreciate the instant support. It makes me think that that the creamed Soup has too many calories, which is insanity considering that all I'm allowed is my Protein drinks (120 calories) and creamed soup which is 200 calories. I need to cut myself some slack.....patience grasshopper.

My weight has not moved in 3 days despite the fact that I'm walking/running every night....now granted, I've lost 29 pounds in 2 weeks which is amazing, but everyone talks about a 3 week stall, not a 2 weeks stall. I"m sure it's my body recalibrating and I may be losing inches, but it just messes with your mind, you know?

A wise friend who had bypass told me that it's funny; her stomach will tolerate a lot more "junk" than it will healthy food. She got herself going in the wrong direction but quickly righted her ship. What the doctors preach is true in every account: protein first, Protein first, protein first.

@@lmag That's terrific! Makes a huge difference in your recovery! Last night was a good night, but the previous two....notsomuch. I'll take it when I can get it!

It's just so crazy the variations! Envious of your post-ops, that's for sure!

@@Jessica2011Marie Congratulations being a week out from surgery! Mine was the 8th! Did you consult with your doctor about your low sugar levels? I'm positive they would have some really great healthy solutions to solve that problem without putting your sleeve at risk. I don't know...I'm not a doctor and I would never shame or judge someone for the choices that they make because we are all adults and our paths are unique. I'm just not convinced that oj and taco bell would have been the safest choice a week out? One of the reasons is the pyloric valve that is still intact after the sleeve. When you send food to your stomach, the stomach pulverizes the food and strong muscular contractions push the food toward the pyloric valve which flushes the food. (lots of pressure) My surgeon told me that the stomach needs time to heal before it can handle those muscular contractions and pressure. There's a lot involved in this surgery and my doctor's office even gave me cell phone numbers of staff to call if there is any iota of a question. That's for the safety of ourselves. I would strongly recommend that you do call your office because the chances of your sugar levels dropping again are strong and they may have a safer alternative....OR OR...maybe you just have to coolest doctor on the planet that thinks what you are doing is medically honky dory?? I hope my comments aren't taken offensively. That definitely was not my intent. Best of luck to you Jessica! I hope every good thing comes your way!
