11 days out and have a question

[VIV121 0]

Hi all,

i am 11 days out and a little confused right now, i've lost about 10lbs and thought this is great, slow and steady right, well now i am on the soft foods and have stopped losing, is this normal?? im not feeling a lot of restriction but i am certainly not eating anything like i used to before i was sleeved, is this a stall do you think or should i be getting worried, after going through the surgery and if this is a stall it just seems to too soon, anyway any advice would be great.

many thanks

Here's the entire search of the forum for stalls. You can click on any that might catch your eye.

Essentially, your body is still pissed off, and just dropped an extraordinary amount of weight in a short period of time. Yes, it's a stall that might break any day, or it will be a real stall and last 2-3 weeks, and it's all perfectly normal. Keep following your program, relax and let your body recover.

My surgeon doesn't consider it a stall until you go 14 days without any loss on the scale.

Seems like most people have a stall at week 2 or 3. Its just your body adjusting and you should be back to losing soon.

Hiya Viv, Angela here.

Like you I'm now on the soft food. Everything has gone great so far, apart from having really bad Constipation for a couple of days but that has now been sorted.

I can't help you with the stalling subject. Can I just tell you though that I have still not weighed myself since the day of the op. I don't want to get caught up in the jumping on and off the scale thing and ending up disappointed if I haven't lost as much as I want and feeling defeated when the stall hits. I'm actually going to try to not get on the scale until I see the dietitian in a months time.

My main focus, at the moment is to get over the op, get well and back to normal as soon as possible. I have another couple of weeks before I go back to work.

I'll be more than happy for the weight to come off steadily as I know that, as long as I use this wonderful tool that I feel so fortunate to have been given properly, it will come off and stay off this time.

I can tell that I have lost some weight. Even after just 11 days my rings are spinning round and I can see that my face looks thinner when I look in the mirror. I've also been able to get into clothes that were a bit too tight to wear when I tried them just before surgery. I'm using things like this as a gauge of how it is going.

I know we're all different in how we deal with things and what we expect. I just find that this is the best way for me but, as they say :

" Whatever floats your boat " Ha Ha !!!!

Keep up the good work Viv and keep in touch.

Best wishes

Your sleeve twin
