Stalling 1 week post-op?



Recommended Posts

With so many more pounds needing to be shed this is a bit discouraging! I was sleeved on Apr 23rd and in the first week lost about 18lbs. I felt tired but also like this is exactly what I needed to do. Then, I hit a brick wall. I went back to work on Wed last week and haven't lost a pound since my Thurs weigh in. I know I probably shouldn't weigh myself every day but the changes on the scale really make the day easier as I adjust and recover. So the last 4 weigh ins have been very depressing. I have heard of the dreaded 3 week stall but why so soon for me? Anyone else already gone through this? I am just hoping this doesn't mean that I am going to be slower to loose and easier to gain even post-op.

Oh my word you lost 18 lbs in the first week???

I think that's wonderful! I'm guessing you're body is trying to adjust to that huge sudden drop.

I spend my first week losing my Water weight. At the start of week 2 I was back down to my surgery weight. I lost a crazy amount of weight during week 2.. something like 12 pounds making my total for the month of march 24 pounds... which included what I lost for the two weeks of preop. WOO HOOO... Then the next week.. nothing.. the week after that NOTHING.. and after that STILL NOTHING... For the entire month of april I lost a whopping THREE POUNDS!!!!

Now in in the first week of may, I've already lost three pounds-the same amount that I lost during the entire month of April and I expect this to be a good month for me. I also expect other "bad" months in my future. Stalls are normal! Even stalls of several weeks are normal... so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
