jd123 0 Posted December 10, 2015 Hi guys I'm deeply considering getting this surgery done. I am already approved and all I have to do is make the decision I just wanted to figure out a bit more first was reading these conversations and saw the word stall or stalling. What does it mean to stall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What does it mean to stall? Periods of time when you do not lose despite following the program. can vary from a few weeks to months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rking 484 Posted December 16, 2015 Sleeved 11/17. That date I was 215. I am now at 196. I have only lost two pounds in about 10 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted December 16, 2015 Go ahead and compare to me.... You won't be disappointed. 5 days up 11 pounds from surgery day. 11 days Weighed the same as surgery day. 6 weeks postp lost 17 pounds 7 weeks gained 3 pounds 10 weeks back to 17 pounds lost 12 weeks lost 25 pounds postop. As you can see, stalls and even gains are normal. Also notice that I only weighed myself 6 times in the first 3 months. scale numbers DO NOT MATTER. Just stay on plan, STAY OFF THE scale, embrace the NSVs and have fun!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsCyrus 90 Posted December 16, 2015 Hrtnsol10, 49 lbs in 2 months is amazing! !! Does it feel odd inside your body, or in your brain, to lose that much that fast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blamo 35 Posted December 17, 2015 I had mine done Oct 15, 2015 and hit 60 pounds lost.But like others have said, don't compare your loss to others, It'll make you crazy. The are too many varibles from person to person and certainly male or female. I am still working on NOT worrying about losing more or less from week to week. It's going, that is the important thing.

Paola1009 1 Posted December 17, 2015 Please don't compare ur lost with others. I started in February 24 with 220 now I weight 130 . Everyone is not the same. This is the best decision I had made. No more diabetic and high blood pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
o00 494 Posted December 17, 2015 Just keep in mind as you get answers that there are many, many factors that determine how much weight people lose. Comparing your potential losses to others can be a slippery slope. I know. I was a very slow loser compared to many. It was only when I stopped comparing and just did my own thing was it easier for me to just keep moving forward until I finally made my goal weight. Looking back, how quickly or slowly I lost weight doesn't matter one bit anymore! The fact that I lost it and am now maintaining it does. @@Babbs thanks for highlighting this. I agree 100%. And also, congrats on losing and maintaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsCyrus 90 Posted December 17, 2015 As I typed before, there is no comparison to other. I haven't met anyone who has had surgery so I just wanted to hear from others. I started working out and will amp that up after surgery. I am just in the waiting game now. In 2 weeks,if I get insurance approval, I would be home recovering!
