theladyslipper 120 Posted February 13, 2016 Ok, I'm 5 weeks post-sleeve & have been at a stall the last 6 days. That's nearly an entire week--in the beginning!!! However, my clothes are getting bigger & I can see shrinking. Is this possible without my weight changing?! Eating 60-90g Protein daily, lots of Water & exercise--the same thing as when I was losing a few pounds a week. But notta change on the scale? ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted February 13, 2016 Between weeks 6 and 7 I GAINED 3 pounds. At 10 weeks (that was the next time I stepped on the scale) I weighed the same as 6 weeks. But I had dropped a whole pant size, so never even knew I had a month long stall till it was nearly over. So yes, it happens. That is why my mantra to all newbies is "Stay off the scale", because those numbers do not always show what's really going on. Try not to worry about the numbers, just enjoy the NSVs. They are the important part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted February 13, 2016 What you are experiencing is normal. Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the weight loss process. Everyone stalls, and almost everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery.
