Is it possible to stall 1 week post op?



Recommended Posts

I know there are PLENTY of stalls to look forward to, including the infamous 3 week one, but here I am one week post op this last Wednesday and the scale hasn't budged since that day. I started mushies yesterday if that makes any difference whatsoever (and who would have thought mashed canned salmon would taste so heavenly!). I weighed 231 prior to surgery and weighed 222 on Wednesday and have been that weight since....

I'm meeting all my liquid and Protein goals and walk a minimum of a half hour a day (and one day when I felt like an overachiever I walked close to 2.5).

Honey child! Stay away from the scale the first week!! :) I didn't even look at a scale for the first week! Look down I don't know about you but my belly was huge! (yes bigger than normal) I called it frankenbelly! You are swollen from the surgery and retaining Water. Wait another week or so then things will even out.

Haaa!! Okay. Hi, my name is Roxanne and I'm a scale addict. I should have my husband hide it. Yeah, the bloated torn up belly is uber sexay right now, but at least the swelling is going down quite a bit! Thank you for the reality check.

I lost 90 lbs before and kept it off for a year and a half (before I got pregnant) and I swear my scale obsessiveness helped me keep it off! I started getting lax when I got pregnant in fear that I would become "preggorexic" and instead I very much fell off the wagon. So being a bit scale obsessive even though I think it might be unrealistic given that I'm only 10 days postop, right?

And yes, the only weight that counts, in the words of my dear friend, is "first thing in the morning, buck naked, after taking a poop." :)

I did the same thing. I am 11 days post and after my one week I hadn't lost a darn thing. I was sorta upset. Then the next couple of days following....wow I was down 2.5 lbs then 2 days later another 3 lbs down. It will start to come off. Just take a deep breath and it el happen. Like it just falls off. Good luck!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
