I guess I'm at a stall



Recommended Posts

Has anyone noticed that even though there is no weight being lost, they're losing inches? My scale is still at 285 for almost 2weeks but my clothes are fitting looser! Go figure. Im assuming this stall is very normal & rickm gave some very reasonable facts. Just be patient everyone. We are bound to get where we want to be :)

You are not alone. Tomorrow, I will be 2 weeks post op and I haven't seen the scale move in 4 days. My body has to be in shock or something. This is so discouraging.

Ok, I don't feel so alone but it still is discouraging. I did my pre-op 2 week diet and everyday on the scale I saw the pounds drop, had my surgery and for a week I saw the pounds drop. Then all of a sudden...bam, nothing has been happening for 2 weeks. I can't wait for the pounds to start dropping again. I will let y'all know when they do and I would like to hear from other ones on here that have said they are in the same boat to let me know when they start losing again. Thanks

Tomorrow I will be 3 weeks out from getting my sleeve. I lost 20lbs on my pre-op diet and 11 lbs since my surgery. The past two weeks I have stayed the same weight and I don't understand. So actually I stalled only 1 week out from surgery. Is there something wrong with me? Has anyone else have this happen? I hear about stalls at 3 weeks but I've never heard of someone stalling after just 1 week from surgery. Is there anything I can do to jumpstart me back into losing? I'm getting very discouraged and I don't like feeling this way.

You are not alone. Many stall after one week. Your body is adjusting to what has happened to it. Don't get discouraged the weight will come off. If you are not eating enough your body also can be in starvation mode and will keep you from losing weight. (survival mode). I upped my calorie intake and starting losing weight on a regular basis. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Same here, I am 2 weeks post-op today. I think like 4 days after my surgery, I dropped 12 pounds. Then it started creeping back up so now I am at 10 lb weight loss, but it has been stuck there for 1 week but feels like 1 month. I keep telling myself it has to come off eventually, just hope I didn't have major surgery for nothing!

      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.
