char3672 292 Posted July 1, 2017 Hi. I was just wondering, is the "3 week stall" a DEFINITE thing? Does everyone experience it? I'm currently 17days post op. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lainybee1987 6 Posted July 1, 2017 It's common from what I've seen I got mine early I'm 21 dayspost op haven't lost since day 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RHmama 42 Posted July 2, 2017 I lost 19 pounds the first 21 days and have only lost 1 the past 9. So I'm definitely in it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeve1stFitNext 924 Posted July 2, 2017 It is common. However it happens to people differently. Some people stall every other week, some get the stall 3-weeks straight and Some get a stall week once a month. Myself, I have a really good week, then a okay week, then a bleh week and then nothing. I am 3 months post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
char3672 292 Posted July 2, 2017 Ugh. I'm 18 days out, and I refuse to weigh myself, I'm afraid that if I see that I'm not losing, it will hit me hard. LolSent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app 1 TheresaJoyce9235 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsVampire 4 Posted July 3, 2017 Yes it's a definitely common thing to have i got stall in my 11th day after surgery it stayed for 2 week but thank god now im back on losing weight You need to drink a lot of Water For me the thing that broke my stall is drinking 3 Oranges in the morning But it might be bad for someone who can't tolerate sour thingsIf you want my advice DON'T stand on a scale hhhhhh i broke in tears a few times [emoji23] [emoji23] 1 Taye reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
char3672 292 Posted July 3, 2017 I KNOW it would break me if I don't lose! I am not going to weigh. I also DON'T drink enough. Did you squeeze 3 oranges a day to help? Also, how long was it until you were "regular" again? Maybe that would help meSent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsVampire 4 Posted July 3, 2017 Yes i squeezed 3 Oranges every morning to drink it's great way to lose weight and at the same time help me with fluids In my 4th week the doctor allowed me to eat regular but it's definitely a very small amount Today is my 6 weeks but still have difficulty with rice and bread but i eat Pasta and everything else For the Water i suggest you to have a sip every 10 min And don't worry even if you feel that your not getting any water down just don't pressure your stomach step by step you will be in track to healthy way [emoji256] [emoji256] Best of luck [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G935F using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No puree stage or anything. He doesn't do that. I've tried eggs, turkey, chicken, ground beef, crab, cheese, high Fiber Cereal. I have been ok with most. I didn't know we can have pasta or bread. He did finaly tell me that I can have low carb bread, but I'm afraid to try. I can drink gulps of water, it's just hard because I don't WANT it. I have never been a big drinker.

My doc is a bit old school about the food and also because I had complications in my surgery so i had to take it easy and also i can eat pasta but its the whole wheat one and it has to be very well done to be able to digest sure it's going to be in small amount For the water after the surgery i couldn't drink water i was like you not a water drinker [emoji23][emoji23] but i flavor the water with fruit so i can drink them and also watermelon and cucumber worked miracle for hydration 1 char3672 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loved lemonade right after surgery, I just tried some and hate it. I just don't know whats wrong with me. I feel like I'm in the "buyers remorse" stage. Am I EVER going to feel "normal" again? Amd I EVER going to be able to eat and not be nauseaus again? Am I EVER going to stop HATING the very thoughts of eating or drinking???Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
