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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
