Scale won’t budge 16 days post op



Recommended Posts

I am ready to pull my hair out. SW 266 i lost 16 lbs on pre op diet so before VSG I was 251. I am 16 days post op and I was down to 241 but I started puréed and now the scale will not move from 243.5, it has been five days and I’m going crazy. I thought two weeks post op that I would lose more weight than this. Is it normal to have a stall this early? Thanks

Lots of people do. You are not alone.

Be patient.

Be consistent.

And then, be patient again.

LOL...you'll get there.

What she said! Stalls are frustrating and a little scary. You are definitely not alone. :)

I’m at 8 weeks post op and have been stalled for 11 days now. It is so frustrating. But lots of sleeve veterans have assured me that it’s perfectly normal to have stalls throughout the process!! Good luck!

Same exact thing happened to me. It’s so frustrating. Hopefully we just need to wait it out and the stall will end soon!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
