ad5707 9 Posted February 9, 2016 So I had my surgery the 25th and I've only lost about 10 pounds. I've been 10 pounds lighter for quite a few days. I've hit a stall pretty early on and haven't lost much, is this normal? Day of surgery weight: 240 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted February 9, 2016 I hit my first stall during weeks 2 and 3 post-op. Then I dropped six pounds during week four. It's not uncommon at all (in fact, do a search for "three-week stall"). your body's going to do what it's going to do. Some people lose weight fast, others lose it slow and steady. So many things can affect it (I'm definitely a slow loser, but I've lost 153 lbs in total). Just stick to the plan and you will definitely lose!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted February 9, 2016 p.s. I only lost 16 lbs that first month - and six of it was during week 4. So I was right where you are. But like I said, I've lost 153 lbs, so don't worry - it'll come off as long as you follow your plan! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HapyTrls 71 Posted February 9, 2016 So I had my surgery the 25th and I've only lost about 10 pounds. I've been 10 pounds lighter for quite a few days. I've hit a stall pretty early on and haven't lost much, is this normal? Day of surgery weight: 240 My surgery was the 26th, 2 weeks tomorrow and have lost 13 but 2 of that is what I did second week. Need to work on my walking but suffered a gout attack in my left foot this past weekend hopefully tomorrow I can start walking again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted February 9, 2016 While you are healing don't expect to lose a ton of weight. Most people don't lose a lot in the beginning. The people that do just shout about it the loudest. 10lbs at your start weight is pretty normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islagirl#1 31 Posted February 9, 2016 I was sleeved on 1/25 also. I'm 5'10 and my surgery weight was 242. I hit 233 today, 2 weeks out, and I'm pleased with that! People who have more to lose are going to have faster weight loss, and that's ok. Just imagine - have you ever lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks before? Hang in there - it all adds up!

Dub 9,922 Posted February 9, 2016 A lot of swelling and inflammation is most likely the culprit. Very sorry about the painful gout. Hopefully this will ease up and allow you to get mobile again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walkinggirl 90 Posted February 9, 2016 Right there with you! Sleeved 1/26. I'm not too worried about it yet. Just keep following the plan and it will all fall into place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
