Weight Stall, help!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am wrapping up my fourth week post surgery. Eating anywhere between 400-750 calories per day. I lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks and now nothing for 2 solid weeks....why????

can you give us an idea of what you are eating , calories dont provide what type of calories your eating. Also you may just be in the dreaded 3 week stall, happens to almost all of us. Your body is still getting used to what has happened.

This is a very normal part of the process. Just focus on getting in all your fluids and Protein and follow your surgeon's instructions. You are still recovering from surgery and this goes with the territory. Stay off the scale and you will be much less anxious.

3 weeks out today and i have not lost any weight for the past 4 days. Just saw my NUT. And she said it was normal, your body realizes your are taking in few calories and starts holding on to every thing it can. Regardless it is frustrating.

Very very normal. Many people have a stall around the 3 week mark. For you it's a little later. Try not to worry and keep following your plan. I promise you will soon see the pounds come off again! For me, after the stall, I had such a big loss I actually was kind of freaked out haha!

If you aren't walking or working out, now is the time to add it and it will break you out that stall.

And yeah carbs, Proteins matter. You could have 600 calories of Protein or 600 calories of mashed potatoes. Calories need a break down. Are you logging and measuring/weighing everything?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
