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!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
