October Sleevers- Anyone Hit The 3 Week Stall?



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved 10/23 and lost 29 lbs during the first 2 weeks. Started pureed right after my 2 week mark. I Weighed myself this morning and was only down 2 lbs this week. What the heck? Has to be some sort of stall because I weigh 379 and would think I would lose more than that!

I hit a stall that ended about 3 days ago. I was sleeved on October 21. The stall lasted about 4 days. But my body adjusted and I have lost 3 pounds since. Dont worry be happy :)

I'm 2.5 weeks out, oct 30. Lost 24 so far. My provider told me to stay off scale everyday. Fluid still fluctuates so it might "stall", no worries, there is no way you are eating enough calories not to lose weight.

10/14 for me. I hit a 7-10 day stall about 10 days after surgery.

That's exactly where I am! Also, my stomach gurgles a lot and makes me think I am hungry! I really think I am getting hungry. Isn't the sleeve supposed to remove the hunger hormone?

Are you on a PPI? I take Prilosec. The days I've forgotten it are the days that I've felt hungry all day. At times I feel hungry when I'm behind on my Water consumption too. Then there's always when cues arise: sitting at home kinda bored, looking forward to a certain dish at a restaurant, etc. I just try to figure out what is causing it. It's tough and something I'm still learning to do. I'm hoping over time our minds will change a bit, but I bet we will deal with it at some level forever.

I hit the 3 week stall at about two weeks out. .. I figure with pre op that's 3weeks. It lasted about a week and a half where I eent up and down about a pound. Then it just started falling off again. The body just needs to catch up. Stay on track, your doing great!

Thanks for that info. No, I'm not on anything like Prilosec, but my heartburn has been horrible, so I was planning to inform my surgeon when I go this Wednesday. I'm having trouble getting in all if my water, too. Totally relate to the boredom factor, as well. Thanks!!!

That's great to know. I have been afraid that the "new" foods I'm re-introducing are causing the stall. Mine has been so similar-- up and down a pound or so. Best wishes!

I wouldn't wait until Wednesday, I'd call your doctor now. You paid them a lot for surgery and it's easy for them to answer this question over the phone. Heartburn is a very normal problem to have so they will have an answer.

I have hit the stall.

SW 258

CW 238

Surgery date 10.21. On Monday, November 11 ( which was the beginning of my 3rd week), I weighed 240. My scale moved 2 pds down this morning. I hope it is truly over.

Ike's, I hit the dreaded stall! Not going to worry. Eating 300-400 cals a day will not slow my weight loss. Even after I suggested staying off the scale I cannot help but look. Promise myself not to get on again until the weekend.

      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.
