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? ???

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.

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.

Embrace the Stall!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
