I'm 15 days post-op and the scale seems to be stuck. Right after surgery I was losing 1-2 pounds a day and now nothing for the last 4 days. I've struggled a bit to get the full 60g of protein in and I'm wondering if this could be what is holding me up from currently losing?

Doubtful it's anything more than the normal 2-3 week stall that most every weight loss patient experiences. Your body can't continue to lose 1-2 pounds a day, and stalls will happen. Just keep getting in your fluids and protein as best you can.

Stalls are common, try mixing things up a bit, eat more or less then usual, exercise differently

Yep, what the others have said. I just broke a 10 day stall and I had my surgery done on March 24th. Even though I understood what was happening and why, when the scale finally went down 1 1/2 pounds today I felt like doing a happy dance!

Thank you so much for all of the responses. I lost 25 lbs, and I haven't lost a thing since Saturday! I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. I did lose like a pound, and then that came back. I just figured I've been at a stall also. I'm 3 weeks out, so it sounds like I'm right on track as far as the stalls go. So I'm just gonna try not to stress about it.

So thanks to all of you for your responses. You all have no idea how these posts really, really help.

I am also stalled.

I am also stalled.

Me 3. 10 days.

Same here I found out today I'm running low on iron and vitamin D even though I take a multi everyday as well as a fruit and a vegetable supplement. So it looks like I will have to drink a glass of 2% milk everyday and I'm not a milk drinker. Today I mixed in a unjury chocolate protein mix then added a couple of ice cubes and crushed it all together and it wasn't that bad, not gritty at all, it tasted like a instant breakfast or slim fast, just a little thicker. If it comes down to me not being able to stomach another thought of drinking one, I'll add just a touch of chocolate syrup for better flavor. So I'll be buy some more of the unjury. My cholesterol dropped 10 points since my liquids/softees, started them 10 days prior to being sleeved on April 4th in Tijuana. Everything came back good.

Add me to the stall list but as the other vets said, it is normal hopefully. I even gained a pound before stalling out going on 4 days now. We just need to try to be patient and get used to our new sleeves. I still get on the scale every nite but do not stress over something that I have no control over. It will be okay and we will soon be losers again. Just keep pushing protein and fluids
