Should my weight be at a stand still?



Recommended Posts

Hello WLS family I'm new here. I had my sleeve on 10/28 and my start weight was 294 after my pre-op I was 281 day of surgery. 5 days after surgery I was and still is 270. I'm only doing Water, Protein, (not the full 60) and broth. So why would I not be losing weight? Anyone have this problem?

Classic stall. We all stall. Sometimes stalls can last days, or weeks. Sometimes you will gain and lose the same 5 lbs for a couple weeks. And then when you think you are a big failure who cannot follow instructions, the weight starts to fall off again. Typically we all still a couple weeks after we get sleeved. I stall out every month, right around my period, and gain a bunch of Water. It sucks balls. But it is reality.

You just had major surgery. Your body is still recovering and adjusting. It is pretty normal to see little to no loss at first (some even gain Water weight). But as you heal, and start hitting your water and Protein goals, you will see some results. Hang in there.

Congrats on your 24 pounds!!! That is great! Ur body is still adjusting. It's kinda storing everything u eat right now because it thinks u are starving. It will all even out. I was 275, hit 265 day of surgery 10/23 and down to 249 today which is 2 weeks post op. That's 26 pounds in 3 weeks. That's what I keep telling myself. Even when I don't see movement. So be proud. 24 pounds is a lot and there will be a lot more! Keep ur chin up.

My cousin received her sleeve 3+years ago. She advised that stalls are normal. If she hit a stall or even noticed a gain she would revert back to clear liquid for a week them full liquid and walk through the step up to full food. It was a break in the normal and would kick her body back into the program. Just a thought that might help others. Best of loosing to you!

I am one month post op and I seem to stall alot. I started out 292 and im down to 259 but that number moves up and down all the time. It seems I stall so often it drives me crazy. I wish I knew if I was doing everything corretly or am I causing the stalls when you find a answer please let me know.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
