October Sleevers- Anyone Hit The 3 Week Stall?

[sweetie022972 44]

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!!!

Welcome, Christine! How are you feeling?

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.

[Bethylou66 3]

Good point. I will call tomorrow. Just saw your reply. Thanks!!!

I have hit the stall.

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.
