5 week early stall BROKEN :)



Recommended Posts

I know stall posts are all the rage :) and I definitely commented on a few the last few weeks. I was sleeved on 4/7 and lost big the first two weeks but had completely stalled for almost 5 weeks and I was stressing! Not even slow but no movement on the scale. But finally this week I am down six pounds from last week. Hope this helps someone else in the endless (seeming) stall point.

I'm so glad you posted this because I'm over here going crazy! I've been stuck on the same amount for about 2 weeks now and I was really worried

Especially so early! Usually the beginning of a program is the easiest/biggest losses. Can't slow down from zero lol.

In my first stall. Surgery was 3 weeks, 2 days ago and I haven't lost anything in 8 days. Not that its a huge/long stall, but I'm so early in my weight loss I was shocked I'm already stalled. What broke your stalls?

I am sooo glad you posted this! I had my surgery a day after you, on April 8 and I have been stalled for weeks. I have only lost 28 pounds in almost 2 months and most of that was the first 2 weeks. Its quite discouraging. I hope things get moving again.

I don't know if anything broke my stall. My doc and nutritionist said you are doing it right keep going. I didn't actively try to change things up on my plan.

I too am glad to read this. One of the hardest things for me is not seeing the scale move for almost a week and surgery was May 20. I really have no idea if I'm doing things right or wrong. Just trying to drink , get in some Protein at this point. Hope it all settles in so I feel like I'm actually eating separate meals, counting calories etc. right now feel like I'm just hanging on!

My surgery was February 19 2014 and I have been at a 3 week stall, before that always losing. How do you break a stall?

I've finally gotten past my 1 week stall. My surgery was May 13th and I went in weighing 330. I lost about 22 pounds post op (2weeks later). During week 3, I went through a small stall, just for a few days,which was discouraging, but I still continued to exercise and eat correctly. Now I am 3 pounds lighter.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
