The scale hasn't went down in 3 days [emoji57]



Recommended Posts

Ever since I began my liquid diet I've lost something everyday. Now the scale hasn't moved down in 3 days. Has anyone else experienced a sudden stop in losing??? I'm 10 days post op

Google "three week stall." My advice is to stick to your plan, meet your Protein and Water goals, walk as much as you can, and stay off of the scale for at least a month. Your body is trying desperately to heal, and weight loss isn't the top priority right now.

Good luck!

Absolutely, I was dropping lbs like it was my job then for like 3 days nothing and I was so upset. I just stuck with the program and weighed 2 days later and I had dropped 4lbs.

I wouldn't consider 3 days a stall, but sounds like stalls do happen and it's just a part of the process.

As you progress clearly important to follow the guidelines and track your consumption.

I think you'll power through, don't be discouraged. I weigh every 3 or 4 days so I see bigger movements and weigh at the exact time everyday so it's comparable.

After a few weeks of getting used to everything I couldn't be happier, total.game.changer!

Good luck!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
