How Long Does A Stall Last

[granddiva 6]

Hey,

I was sleeved on April 16th, so far I've lost 22 lbs. However, my weight is at a complete stand still. Why???? One thing that I notice my stomach will grawl. Am I ok? I can tell I'm losing inches. Is it better to loose inches or actual weight? And I notice that I'm sleepy more often.

your not that far out, so give it some time. I had a really hard recovery and ended up loosing 25lbs in 2 weeks...I stalled after that for almost 3 weeks. So, yes, thats completely normal. Before long the weight will start to fall off!!

Hey! i was sleeved on the 17th and have lost 25 lbs and then in the third week not a single pound. I too am freaking out. My stomach makes all sorts of noise and i think that is just the motion getting going to move the food on down. I have been doing the purees and am so happy to not be eating liqid all the time. However the 3 week stall i have heard is totally normal so they say to be patient. I know so much easier said than done....

My longest stalls lasted 5 and 6 weeks. During my stalls I lose inches. I have learned not to freak out about stalls. No matter how long they last, they will always end! My body has been weird with how I lose weight. I will lose a bunch then stall for 5 or 6 weeks and then lose again. During the stalls like I said, I am losing inches and it seems as though my skin tightens up also. This is the way my body works and I am fine with it.

I'm scheduled with Aceves in a couple of weeks - very excited! I recognize that everyone's weight loss and journey is the same, but I'm curious...when did you hit the 50 lbs loss mark? I'd like to make that a mini-goal and am thinking about where to position it. Congrats on the weight loss!!

Thanks! You will love Dr. A! I just check my weigh in dates, I keep track every week of what I lose, and I hit the 50 lb mark in 4.5 months. Just remember that everyone loses differently. You can't compare to how everyone else loses. You will figure this out as time goes on.

I'm sorry that should be 3.5 months not 4.5 months.

I raised my calories, carbs and chugged down a bunch of Water. I was losing a few inches though so it wasn't completely bad. Good luck!

I have noticed that when I eat a better variety of foods, even though I am on pureed foods, that my weight tends to inch down more than when I am more restrictive. Also, if I can get in at least 800 calories, I tend to start to lose more. I was stuck at 306 and yesterday I was 302. This morning, I find myself back at 303. But, I look at it this way, I am down 65 pounds since my highest weight, so that is a huge improvement. I am down 51 pounds since I started this journey and 24 pounds since my final pre-op visit which was April 9th. I am still losing at a faster rate than I did when trying before having my sleeve. I keep reminding myself of that and I have stopped comparing my weight loss to others. Everyone’s body is different. Age and other factors also play a role in how fast we lose. It will come off. I have been over weight since I was 12 or 13. I am now 48. I figure if I lose it all in one to two years, that will be crazy wonderful seeing how long it took me to pack in on! Best of luck to all - just keep it all perspective. We will get there.

3 weeks post op. I lost 12 ponds in 2 weeks...but have not lost anything this last week...im getting in 800-900 daily...and getting in the fluids....it is upsetting...i have a goal very realistic 13 more lds by sept 1. That will put me under 160. I want to get to goal of 145. But once under 160. I feel like I am in a healthy weight..and the self pay would have been worth it..if I go two weeks without loosing I will try all shakes for a few days to see if that helps.

Stalled here too for 7 days now. I'm 3 weeks postop.
