Early Stall?



Recommended Posts

Uh oh, this is day 3 that the scale has not moved. After watching it go down so quickly it is a bit frustrating and concerneing that i may have hit a stall so early post op. Tomorrow marks 2 weeks. I did just change to pureed food 2 d ago...could that have something to do with it??? Have not started excercise as it has only been 2 weeks. I have read every post on stalls and was thinking that maybe this was m y 3 week stall but does anyone know if people refer to the 3 week stall as 3 weeks from surgery or from pre op diet and sugery? I am down 23 lbs from start of pre op diet on aug 13 th. But 16 of those pounds were during the liquid diet phase. I am freaking out a little bit ( i know its probablly ridiculous) but am only down 7 pounds from surgery and less than 2 weeks out with a stall. Any one with any kind of similar experience? I'm trying to remain calm : )

Just remain calm and keep steady on your program. You'll come out of it. Don't weigh for a few days. Twenty three pounds since Aug 13 is terrific. I gained six pounds after surgery and a few days later I lost the six plus seven more pounds. Be patient and you'll be losing soon:)

The process that initiates the 3 week stall will start when you start a calorie restrictive diet. So if you had a very restrictive preop diet, that started the process of burning your glycogen stores.

As for the "3 weeks"....it could be give or take a week or 2. It's not the same for everyone. You may have burned through your glycogen stores faster than other people and now your body is refilling those stores, which is what causes the stall.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
