19Days Post-Op And Stalled

[NisaletOAM 48]

I know it's going to happen but so soon. I've lost 28 pounds and it has been 4 days without loosing a pound and I fluctuate from 27 to 28 pounds. I'm in the puree stage and not sure what I'm doing for this to happen I have my 2nd appt on the 29th. Just needed to vent.

At about three weeks after surgery I stalled for a month. Now, it's been six and a half months and I'm down 98 lbs. from 255 to 157 and still losing steadily. Any other 30 day period since surgery the least I have lost is 10 lbs. Give it time, understand that the stall may stick around for a while, be grateful if it doesn't - and no matter what, remember that it is not an indication of your future success!

I think the puree stage is the hardest because you struggle to get in your Protein. Everything that you puree and mainly carbs it seems. So once you hit phase 3 I believe you will start seeing a difference so just hang in there!

Welcome to the week 3 stall! The good news? It goes away. The bad news is that it can take a couple weeks to do so. Just stick to your diet, exercise as much as you can, and focus on being healthy.

I don't know that I'd call just 4 days a stall. A week? maybe. Two weeks, ok, I'd call that a stall.

Could it be your TOM causing some Water weight? Eating salty Soups?

I agree, a 4 day isn't a stall. It really isn't, but I understand your frustration. This is for keeps though. You are relearning how to eat & be healthy, so try to pay more attention to that rather than the scale. It's hard, I know. I'm just 'getting it' at 3.5 months out.

PUT THE scale AWAY!!! It is not healthy to weigh yourself everyday! Stressing about not changing your weight in 4 days is going to lead you down a path of destruction. 4 days is not a stall, it's a normal daily fluctuation in weight.

Haha, you sound like the nurse at the clinic. She yelled at me for weighing every day, too.

thanx guys I'm still at the same weight I'm going for my 2nd chek-up on thursday and I'll discuss with the doctor and nut. What I am noticing is that I can almost drink normally my sips are not gulps but I can drink more not sure if that has to to with it but yes I will put the scale away
