Stall at 1.5 weeks post-op-seriously?

[Lndrn723 2]

Can it really be possible to be at a stall already since 1.5 weeks post-op? Very frustrating already. I was sleeved October 8th and have not lost anything since Sunday and today is Thursday. I am still on my full liquid diet, get all my Protein in and liquids and do take my daily walk. I'm not cleared to do any harder exercises yet being just 2 weeks. Need to hear others have had this and what I can do different? Everyday I think "tomorrow the scale will change". :-(

I dont even own a scale. I weigh once a month at the doctors office. Dont get frustrated. But i would try just weighing once a week. Just my opinion.

There's been a lot of posts on the three week stall. You might just got yours early. Remember you just had MAJOR surgery. Your stomach was cut out. Your body needs time to heal. Weight is just how much force gravity is pulling. (Can't remember the actually definition right now) Your weight might be "stalling" due to numerous factors, bm, bloating, etc. I can almost guaranty you, you are still losing fat. Put the scale away for awhile.

My surgery was the 10th and I stalled at about a week too. It finally moved a bit today but just a pound. I've been cleared for cardio so think I'm going to have to start doing more than just neighborhood walks.

Lndrn723 I also stalled at 1.5 weeks out. I lost nothing for 10 days. I was sleeved Oct 1st and just stared loosing again 2 days ago. I read an article that someone suggested from here called The inevitable stall, it explains whats going on very well. I totally no your frustration. Just hold on and know that it will come off. Here is a link to the article, http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.php.

Completely normal. You will have stalls here and then and in between the weight loss will be on a daily basis. Don't get discouraged, it does come off, walk, sip Water, make sure you're taking your Protein.

Aww.. I haven't gotten to copy/past my copy/paste in a while!! Thanks for the opportunity!!

I'll just copy/paste the copy/paste I did less than a week ago:

I'll just copy/paste the answer I gave to someone else less than a week ago who asked the same thing:

A search will show you dozens ... and dozens ... of threads about the stall that happens around week 2-3 post-op. Your body just had major surgery. Give it a break and relax and get well. Put the scale away and don't bring it out again for a couple of weeks. Be good to yourself, let yourself heal. Stalls happen all the time, this isn't a sprint it's a marathon.

Hang in there... you will lose weight and then you will lose size, but 1.5 weeks out from surgery is very too soon to be doing any weighing... hang in there and weigh yourself at the month mark... give yourself time to heal!

The stall happened to me too and I actually gamed weight. After my 2 week post op and adding soft foods to my diet, I started losing weight again. 14 pounds to be exact. Just keep with it and don't get discouraged. The weight will come off.

Thank you so very much for all your words of advice and encouragement. I will try to be patient and thank full for my sleeve because I totally would of just gone back to my old ways after 4 days of no change. My sleeve will keep me strong! I will just put the scale away. Thanks again everyone!

I stalled after 1 week and it lasted 3 weeks. I lost 11 lbs in the first 4 weeks. I was soon upset, but then in the middle of week 4 I lost 3lbs in one day and roughly a lb a say since. By my doctors appointment at close to the week 5 mark I was down 21 lbs. You just have to wait it out. Everyone told me to through the scales out. I tell you what everyone told me. Your body is still healing and you will lose weight.

I just posted a similar post. I feel your frustration. I was sleeved on Oct 7 and have only lost 1 pound since last Saturday. Im so bummed. Like even wls doesn't work on me

@@nancykat150 I"m pretty much in that boat. I'm 11 days past surgery and I stalled about 5 days ago. Lost 2 lbs a day then nothing. ..even a 2 lb gain, and now i'm down one of the 2 pounds. But I know that it will drop and I'm just doing what I'm supposed to. I'm not going to lie and say it's not frustrating.. because damn it, it is ! But It will happen on it's own time.

Since surgery, I have lost 5 - that's right - 5 pounds! Sleeved on October 15. I started going back to the gym and put the scale away. Walking daily for one hour for starters. Still on the two-week liquid diet. Will start on puréed on 10/30. Will weigh again at my first post-op doctors appt. on Thursday.

[Lndrn723 2]

I'm hoping my stall broke...finally the scale changed and lost 3 more pounds after 10 days! That's 16 pounds since surgery 3 weeks today. Keep it moving!!!
