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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
