Stall. MUCH earlier than expected.

[mrssoupmix 61]

Someone please tell me you have had similar results.I lost 10 pounds on the Pre-op diet. And lost another 13 pounds on the first 10 days after surgery. That was 7 days ago. The scale has not moved downward at all since then! Doc said to expect a stall between 3-5 week. So I was. But not after only 10 days! Feeling very angsty and frustrated this morning. The internal voice is not using PG language this morning. How long do stalls last?

You're still healing.. Give yourself a break!! You just started the 3 week stall a bit early. Don't worry about it. It will break. Just stay on plan.

Exact same weight loss and story here. Trying to be patient while I get all my Protein & Water but find it amazing as I'm having a hard time reaching 500 calories a day and yet have stalled on week 2.

everyone is different. stalls happen but not on a set schedule. For example - I didn't lose ANYTHING the first 2 weeks post op, nothing. I can't really even call that a stall, more like a delayed start. Right now just focus on healing and following your program and stay off the scale for a while if it is going to upset you that much.

Thanks for the encouragement Heidikat72

Im going through a stall right now. I am almost 4 weeks out.

I was on all liquids for the first 3 weeks post op and just started having soft foods on Tuesday. Talk about frustrating.

Ready for this thing to break so I can continue my journey.

Thanks, friends.

My husband heard me having words with the scale and came in and asked what was wrong. I told him, in very colorful language- that I am not incredibly proud of, about going 7 days and not moving AT ALL. He looked at me and said "wow, wouldn't that be something if that's all you got out of this." OMG!

Although I know he was joking and my threats to end his life were also in jest. I can't say I didn't have that thought (all this for 23 pound!).

But you'd all support me, right? If I off-ed him, on the evidence of that comment (alone) as motive!

Lol poor guy. I'm having my husband keep the scale locked in his truck for the first 4 weeks. After that bring it out only once a week. I know myself. I will be obsessed with the numbers rather than recovery. I'll find out what I've lost when I've seen the doctor. I only hope I don't do my husband bodily harm for doing as I asked when rational.

Lol. What a great idea. I think I will have my hubby keep our scale in his car until 3 weeks out. My surgeon told our group that you are healed 3 weeks out. I too hope I don't do hubby any bodily harm. Lol

I am 15 days post-op and the scale hasn't moved in 3 days. This morning I gave it the finger and told it that I'm breaking up with it until Monday. In the meantime, I'm focusing on trying to ramp up my walking and maybe try and easy hike. You're not alone - hang in there!

Had mine 9/27 lost 10 lbs pre-op and 13 post op. scale has not moved for a week also. Very frustrating. I know I will continue to lose as I am following the correct diet, but still very frustrating. Everyone is different, hang in there you will lose more. I am not getting on the scale again till middle of next week.
