3 weeks out & stalled

[Guest]

Scaring me so much. I feel huge. When does the weight loss pick up again?

A stall is when you haven't lost for 4 weeks consecutively. You are right after surgery. Your body is healing and catching up with what has happened. Don't worry - this is not a stall.

I just went the the week 3 stall and I finally had a 1.5 drop this morning..mine was a week long but everyone is different.. hang in there and keep up the water!

It's okay stall are very common for everyone. So don't worry yourself just give it time and the weight will begin to fall off. Feeling huge is a mind thing cuz I still feel the same way after losing 88lbs. So just focus on your main goal and dont let this minor bump in the road get you down you have a long journey ahead.

Stalls happen all the time. Just browsing the post op forms you will see tons and tons of stall posts. It's normal and happens to almost everyone

My stall lasted from week 3-6, and in week 7 I dropped 5 lbs.

I'm in the same boat. I think we were sleeved the same day, June 3rd. My NUT told me not to worry and during the first must we may gain some weight or not lose at all. It's just our body adjusting to everything that has happened. But mentally, it is still torture. I think "did I screw up having this surgery? What if it doesn't work?" But then I read the different threads and realize that we are all going through this and that the weight will come off, just have to be patient.

This site is so helpful. I'm four weeks out from my surgery and am experiencing a stall now as well. I've been back and forth between 273 and 275 and am beginning the stage 2 diet. I keep thinking that its the stage 2 diet and that I'm cursed with a horrible body and will only be able to do the stage 1 diet forever to lose weight. Thank goodness I found this site. I'm going to stop being so crazy about weighing myself every day and give myself some time to heal.

I'm so glad that I found this topic! My surgery was June 5 and this week I've stayed at the same weight. My Dr. told me at a recent check up not to be obsessed with the scale that this is normal and to date my loss is 23 lbs, but I was still thinking that I was doing something wrong or that this was a cruel joke like all past diets. Thanks for everyone's support!
