OzRoo 1,492 Posted April 13, 2016 After the initial weight loss post op, I experienced the first stall. I think it started in week 3, so for 2 weeks plus, there was nothing. I didn't gain any weight, and I didn't lose any weight. I actually refused to step on my scales, as my look in the mirror showed me no change. During the past 2 weeks I was able to do some exercise, mainly some walking and dancing (at home ) I was also getting very hungry (puree and then soft food phase). Was told by NUT to increase my Proteins. Still was hungry ... ! Every 2 hours or so ... I also had a couple of bad days, physically and emotionally. I caved in and had some chocolate and ice-cream, and I paid for it by an attack of horrible Acid Reflux. Did not exercise for few days, slept badly. Today, I finally had the courage to weigh myself ...... And, I lost some weight, YAY! OK, little loss, from 93.1 kg to 92.5 kg ..... however I haven't gained, thank goodness ! I have been reading up on stall information, and watching YouTube videos on WLS, stalls, weight issues post op, etc Found some fantastic videos from Dr. Matthew Weiner, and I have saved many of them. So, slow but steady ..... Who else has experienced Weight Stalls post surgery? I know these stalls can keep happening, so I am interested in hearing from others, whether recent or past Stalls. Thank you. PS. I am stepping up my Proteins, and lowering carbs for now, as per my NUT's instructions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tony031469 81 Posted April 13, 2016 I too experienced what you have. Although I have noticed that I would gain a pound or two and then lose a pound or two. It's very frustrating. I had my surgery March 21st. I am on phase 3, pureed food. I lost roughly about 40 pounds. I have started walking do I'm hoping that will help me shed some pounds.
