Sleeved 1 month ago ... Not losing ?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on July 20 .... Lost 20 lb in first three weeks

However , I have not lost even 1 lb in past week or so ?

What is going on ??? I did have a lower bro than most who have the procedure but I don't understand ??? The scale isn't moving ?

I've done well with recovery and am on regular foods now

I'm scared now that I made bad decision and not going to lose weight

You are in a stall and it very normal. Your body needs time to make adjustments. This will pass. There are many, many posts on here about this. I am 2 mths out and just finished my 2nd one that lasted two weeks. You will probably lose inches during this time.

What I have learned from this procedure is that you MUST exercise to lose weight. If you are not exercising you are just going to maintain or gain.

Stalling for a couple of weeks starting at three weeks post-op is completely normal. You can use the search function on this site to look for "three week stall" or even just Google "three week stall vsg" or "week three stall weight loss surgery" or anything like that and see that you are far from alone! Just keep following your program and stay off the scale for a while if it will stress you out. Good luck!

I'm so glad to be reading this. I too have been at a stall for over a week now and hate it... But I read suggestions about measuring oneself and it turns out that I've lost an inch off my waist and half inches off my hips and chest, so it's moving. I just wish the scale would go down already.

I think the stall comes from going from all liquids to some solids. Another shock to the system.

Calories in vs calories out . Exercise boots your metabolism and burns calories. It's time to pick up the pace and do more... Best wishes xox

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
