I guess I'm at a stall



Recommended Posts

Has anyone noticed that even though there is no weight being lost, they're losing inches? My scale is still at 285 for almost 2weeks but my clothes are fitting looser! Go figure. Im assuming this stall is very normal & rickm gave some very reasonable facts. Just be patient everyone. We are bound to get where we want to be :)

You are not alone. Tomorrow, I will be 2 weeks post op and I haven't seen the scale move in 4 days. My body has to be in shock or something. This is so discouraging.

Ok, I don't feel so alone but it still is discouraging. I did my pre-op 2 week diet and everyday on the scale I saw the pounds drop, had my surgery and for a week I saw the pounds drop. Then all of a sudden...bam, nothing has been happening for 2 weeks. I can't wait for the pounds to start dropping again. I will let y'all know when they do and I would like to hear from other ones on here that have said they are in the same boat to let me know when they start losing again. Thanks

Tomorrow I will be 3 weeks out from getting my sleeve. I lost 20lbs on my pre-op diet and 11 lbs since my surgery. The past two weeks I have stayed the same weight and I don't understand. So actually I stalled only 1 week out from surgery. Is there something wrong with me? Has anyone else have this happen? I hear about stalls at 3 weeks but I've never heard of someone stalling after just 1 week from surgery. Is there anything I can do to jumpstart me back into losing? I'm getting very discouraged and I don't like feeling this way.

You are not alone. Many stall after one week. Your body is adjusting to what has happened to it. Don't get discouraged the weight will come off. If you are not eating enough your body also can be in starvation mode and will keep you from losing weight. (survival mode). I upped my calorie intake and starting losing weight on a regular basis. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Same here, I am 2 weeks post-op today. I think like 4 days after my surgery, I dropped 12 pounds. Then it started creeping back up so now I am at 10 lb weight loss, but it has been stuck there for 1 week but feels like 1 month. I keep telling myself it has to come off eventually, just hope I didn't have major surgery for nothing!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
