Shaunie 123 Posted July 29, 2016 Hi everyone, I'm in need of kind words! I'm almost 4 weeks post op and I haven't seen a loss in about a week :-( I'm feeling very discouraged :-( I'm doing very well with my Protein getting at least 70g a day in. Fluid intake has been good but could be better. I walk 3 miles at least 4 times a week. One bad thing I do is weigh myself daily which I know is not healthy so I'm working on that. Is anyone else feel they are doing well and they just aren't seeing results? :-D Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted July 29, 2016 Stalls are so common that someone here coined the phrase "Embrace the Stall". Just meet your daily Protein, Fluid, and Vitamin requirements; walk about 30 minutes per day [or equivalent exercise]; follow the meal plan you were given by the surgeon's office and let the magic happen.

CeeGee 30 Posted July 31, 2016 I stalled out this past week and I was at week 5. How frustrating to be doing everything right, food, fluids, and exercise but not lose anything all week. Fingers crossed it picks back up this week Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. Everyone experiences stalls and just about everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery. Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids. Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed. Exercise when cleared. Stay off the scale. And, Embrace the Stall http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/351046-Embrace-the-Stall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
