Jmbaker24 4 Posted March 10, 2013 Have you gotten past it and if so how? I'm so frustrated I know I shouldn't be and that stalls are normal but it's hard not to get discouraged! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mastiff_mama 171 Posted March 10, 2013 Have you gotten past it and if so how? I'm so frustrated I know I shouldn't be and that stalls are normal but it's hard not to get discouraged! No! I will be three weeks tomorrow... I saw my surgeon on Friday before my two weeks. He advanced me to soft foods. Whamo! My weight loss stopped! I can't seem to make it start again. I watch carbs and eat lean Protein. At a loss too, but I am taking comfort in it will pass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michelle1977 27 Posted March 10, 2013 Keep doing what you are doing. I am just shy of 4 weeks post op. just before I hit 3 weeks I stayed the same for like 5 days (after 3 weeks). The past couple of days I have lost 5 pounds. Stalls happen. Just stay consistent and it will start to come off again. Also, try increasing your Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chaparra 85 Posted March 10, 2013 I was sleeved on 02/11/13 and had my first post op visit the very next Monday after that. Since then, I have gained 6 pounds. I was going to the gym and walking the treadmill for 30 minutes and walking up and down 5 flights of stairs 5 days a week. I was also doing exercises at home. I decided to test a theory out. I think that I was working out too much and not eating enough calories to balance it out, but how can we at this point. So, I stopped working out. My last regular work out was last Wednesday morning, which I only did 15 minutes on the treadmill. I haven't worked out since and am now down 4 pounds. So, I proved a point to myself, but as much as I want to just scrap the exercising to keep losing weight, I can't. I will go back to walking the treadmill for 30 minutes 3 times a week and see how things work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtdavis71 6 Posted March 10, 2013 Muscle weighs more than fat. I am of the overall opinion of size is more important than weight. Ive been 200 lbs before and wore a size 10. I was very much in shape back then. So don't be to discouraged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marymouse50 20 Posted March 10, 2013 Monday will be 21 days and I have lost 7 pounds since surgery date, actually gained 8 ounces since I started puree, 14 pounds total with pre, very annoying to say the least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I started soft food on day 12 and gained 2lbs of the 12 I'd lost... Been sitting at the same weight for 8 days... Are you 50 also? That would be too wild! I've lost a total of 14 lbs from pre-op til now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsG 329 Posted March 11, 2013 Muscle weighs more than fat. I am of the overall opinion of size is more important than weight. Ive been 200 lbs before and wore a size 10. I was very much in shape back then. So don't be to discouraged. With all do respect, a pound of muscle and a pound of fat are still a pound. However, muscle is more dense than fat which is why ladies, it is important to take measurements! Even when I went thru a stall (sleeved 1/15) I was still losing inches! I only weigh at dr appt now because I don't want to get discouraged. Just keep doing what you are doing, getting in Proteins, Water, Vitamins, exercise and trust the process.
