So, I was sleeved on 3/25. I have no problems eating what I should be eating or getting the amount of Protein I should be getting, but this past 4-5 days the scale has not moved. I was wondering if that was normal or if anyone else has experienced this. I am starting to wonder if this surgery was the right decision for me or if my body is just saying what the heck did you do to me? I have lost 15 lbs since surgery, but nothing in the past 4-5 days. Just curious. Thanks!

Yes the 3 wk stall is very normal!! And it's likely that we'll have a lot of stalls throughout our journey. Most stop weighing daily and do every 2 wks or monthly instead.

I am with Kelly on not weighing everyday; once a week should be enough.

It could be Water weight or Constipation causing the stall as well. What are you eating? Still on full fluids?

Congrats on your 15lb loss - that is nothing to wince at :D Hopefully things will get back on track for you soon. HUGS!

Join the club! It is very common. I had one at two weeks.. lost 2 pounds in 4 weeks.... but it is coming off. Just relax and follow directions and you will be ok! Look up stall in the search and find TONS of stories.

You could also be loosing inches instead of weight. My body tends to lose, then stop and shrink, then lose again. Very weird. Have no fear, just keep doing what your doing. Your body will chatch up soon enough

It is so very frustrating I know! I am 4 weeks out this Wednesday and I haven't lost anything for a week. I have been following the guidelines of calories, Protein, carbs, fat, and Water. But nothing. :huh:

It makes no since to me how you could be taking in so little, especially after you have stopped taking in over 3000 calories a day and not lose anything.

Stupid old stinky stall!!! :angry:

I am allowed to eat mushies currently, but just can't seem to want to put my food in a blender and then eat it. Something about that reminds me of my daughter's baby food so that is definitely not happening. I can't wait for another two weeks so I can have mushies...YAY!!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
