Stall...at 10 days? Any thoughts?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I had surgery on 3/17 and lost right away, as expected (I believe)....... but I have not lost even 0.1 since 3/27.
I am on a blended/pureed diet for the first 30 days post surgery.
6, 2 oz meals per day.....yogurt, refried Beans, Protein Shakes, etc. Nothing solid.
I am walking about 2 miles per day and get b/w 50-64 oz Water per day (Doc says minimum of 32.)

Anyone else stall THIS early?

I'm feeling so anxious about it it's making me crazy.

Step away from the scale. You didn't gain overnight and you won't lose. The scale will only make you crazy. Take your measurements (neck/boobs/waist/hips) and then retake them every 3 mths. 5 days without a loss is no big deal. As long as you are doing what you should the weight will come off.

It just seems very early for a stall.

*Stepping away from the scale*

Thanks

I like the description of the weight loss trending into a pattern like stairsteps. It will go down a pound or two, maybe stay the same a day or two, another drop, and so forth... with some inevitable stalls or plateaus. But it will continue downward in steps. It is unlikely that everyday will have a loss. Every week may not even have a loss, but the downward trend will continue.

I had a stall 3 weeks after my surgery (2/10/15)...for 2-3 weeks! But I am happy to report that I stopped getting on the scale and noticed that my body started feeling smaller. Even during that non-weight loss period, I was able to get into smaller pants! :) AND...I lost 4lbs a week for the last 2 weeks.

Your body is catching up to your weight loss. Just stay positive and keep your head in the game! :)

Don't weigh yourself for about a month. Concentrate on Water, Protein, Vitamins and healing. I rarely weighed, so I didn't even know I was in a stall unless it lasted 2-4 weeks. Believe me, I was a lot happier than all the posters on here that stress about every little number on the scale. If you are following your plan You will lose weight whether you step on the scale or not. Just enjoy the NSVs.

I'm day 10 and GAINED 1.4 today. Um...

But including my pre-op diet I"m down 15 pounds and I have never done that. There is nothing to do but move forward.

Your weight varies based on your hydration. Maybe you were just more hydrated today. I wouldn't be worried at this point unless you have been eating things that you aren't supposed to eat.

      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.

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