Did anyone stall out at around 3 weeks post op?



Recommended Posts

I stalled after one week post op. The scale didn't budge for like a week in a half...it even went up one day. I had to limit weighing myself, but as everyone predicted if I kept doing the right things then the scale will move again and sure enough it did.

Thanks for the info on your stall. This is very frustrating but I'm gonna continue to try and get in my Protein and Water

I'm in the same boat. I was sleeved 1/11 and was losing a pound a day for a couple weeks. Then, right at week three, I hit the breaks. Now for almost the duration of February, I've lost 2-3 lbs. Total from surgery date is 20 lbs. I'm trying to stay optimistic, but like you, I feel that I may have had this surgery, and will be stuck at 209 forever.

Remember not to judge everything on the scale. Your weight may not change during your stall but you will still be losing inches!! Chin up and give ur body a chance to catch up to becoming a new you!

This has been my concern, I stalled at 3 weeks and have been worried that things weren't working right but reading all these comments on it has helped me. I am 4 weeks out now. Glad to know it gets better..:)

Yep been there done that..was sleeved on jan 7th and hit the stall at 2 weeks for about 3 weeks. Its so frustrating I know but it does break. I know with me and all my years of dieting hell to consume less than 1000 calories and NOT lose weight? Just can't wrap my mind around that but hang in there it will start again. Oh and if you can stay off the scale for awhile..hard to do yes I know. Good luck

15 days out and stalled at 223 for the last 5 or 6 days. Very frustrating especially when you follow the rules! This too shall pass!

I am in the EXACT same situation. I was sleeved 1/15/2013' date=' am down 23 pounds, and have only lost 2 pounds in the last 2 and a half weeks. I eat between 700 and 950 calories and get between 50 and 80 grams of Protein. It's so discouraging :([/quote']

Me too, sleeved 1/16 and lost 25 pounds within 3 weeks, and then the scale stopped moving. Calories for me 600-700, and still struggling with 64oz fluids, just can't drink that much :( don't know how but it seems on days that I meet Fluid goal, all I do is drink all day long. And I feel like I'm going to gag from too much fluids.

If you search Forums, for Lil Diva's bootcamp, it will come up. Basically, it's a 5 day plan, cutting out carbs & sugars & eating lots of Protein & drinking Water, to kick start your weight loss.

Yeeeeessss ma'am! When I reached 2 weeks I had lost 25lbs and now at week 4 (3/5) I will still be the same weight but you have to remember sleeve weight loss isn't as rapid as bypass or the band and YOU yourself have to physically do the work also. I know it seems discouraging but don't worry darlin once you start doing your part it'll melt like butter :) and although your not losing lbs you are still losing inches.

      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.
