Almost one month stall...OVER! Yay!



Recommended Posts

So, I was sleeved on July 28 and had great weight loss success even before surgery (about 55 lbs lost yay!) and great loss during the pre- and post-op liquid phases (about 25lbs yay!). I'd read SOOOO much about the post-op stall, but just kept on losin'...finally hit that stall about 3 weeks after surgery and that bad-boy stall stayed with me for almost a month. (Boo!)

Honestly, I wasn't too distressed. Thank you BariatricPal forums for all the information about STALLS. It stank to stop losing, but I stopped looking at the scale (this is KEY folks) for over almost two weeks and I'm now down about 5lbs. I tried to keep in mind how GREAT that I felt and all my nice new SMALLER clothes that looked pretty darn smashing on me. All the COMPLIMENTS at work. I didn't really change a thing in my diet or exercise...exercised the same, ate the same, drank the same. A stall just is what it is.

I've felt so much better overall since I've dropped 90 lbs that I'm delighted already. I even think my sleep apnea is gone. I have a visit with my sleep doctor next week to confirm, so fingers crossed!

So, if you're in a stall...just keep on keeping on with 'the plan'...the stall WILL pass and your weight loss WILL continue. Keep looking back at what you have achieved and consider how much your life has changed already. Embrace your SUCCESS.

I'm getting pretty close to ONEderland and even closer to 100lbs lost. Woohoo!

Hope everyone is also doing well and at peace with themselves. MUAH!

I hit a 3 week stall too! I knew the weight was one my body was at for years pre-surgery and my last gain before finally having the surgery done, but it was frustrating. I am now back to losing almost a pound a day for more than a week! Yay! Knowing this stall ended will help me get through the inevitable next one. Hoping all of you are feeling great!

Thanks for the encouragement and the helpful tips Vegas, I'm heading into week 3 of a stall, didn't expect it to last this long but keeping the faith in the sleeve.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
