3 Weeks Out Of Gastric Sleeve Surgery Today And Guess What? Scale Won't Move!

[mchez1986 6]

soo sorry just had to vent!! I am 3 weeks post op today and the scale is stuck at 235.4, every single time I weigh myself, soooo aggrivating, I heard that this was going to happen, but didnt think I would get this mad

How long has the scale been "stuck"?

Does your posted loss include pre-op weight loss?

OMG! Im less than two weeks out and the scale is stuck at nearly the same spot for me!! I could never get under 236 on any diet I tried..It was like a curse for me. Now, after being sleeved, the curse is back again..Im scared to death...

Hang in there ladies!!! During my first 8 weeks I stalled TWICE, each lasting 14+ days. I was angry, sad and frustrated....but, I did find that the inches were melting off during that time. Then it was like I hit a groove and lost good numbers after that for the next month. Stick to your program and this will work. You will get through the stall and when you hit goal you will look back and realize that it was just a blip on your radar in the whole scheme of things.

I'm stalled again now, but it could be more holiday related than anything. Darn those family members and their sweets!!!

I know how you feel I was 3 weeks post op yesterday and for the last four days my scale stayed the same, but this morning it show I lost like a half a pound. This is normal we will get some stalls throughout this journey it's just our bodies trying to figure out what’s going on. Don’t be mad or sad it is normal. Just think about all the weight you have lost since the begining of the process.

thank you for the encouragment everyone, I am hoping this will pass soon, the scale has been the same for about 4 days, could be worse, I couldve gained lol. It's just when you set goals for yourself, you hate to inch to the goal... Best of luck to all my banana babes though!!!

p.s. afro cyster 19lbs pre op 20lbs post op in 3 weeks...

This is why I don't set weight goals. Our bodies don't always lose weight in a way that makes complete sense and I don't want the added stress and disappointment. I do set goals to meet my fluids, Protein & Vitamin requirements. In January I will set a goal for exercise. The rest will take care of itself.

Good luck to you too fellow banana Babe!

I am in the 3 week stall. I haven't weighed myself since Tuesday (A big deal for me!) I won't weigh until Sleeve4me's Super Saturday weigh in. I can't keep looking at the scale EVERYDAY. I am hoping to see a big drop on Saturday.

I know EXACTLEY what you mean. I am so scared that the weight is not going to come off. Thats's all a head game and we have to remind ourselves that it WILL come off, slowly maybe, but it WILL.....right?

Know the feeling! I weighed myself after the 1st week and lost 13 lbs. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks and I've lost nothing more than those 13. However, this morning I did follow advice given on this board. I started trying on some smaller clothes I had from my many previous diets. I was wearing 3x comfortably before surgery. Well, the 2xs and some 1xs actually fit this morning. I wish the scale would move too, something about that number that wrecks havoc on our brain, but I'm trying to be patient and enjoy the fact that these dusty ole clothes fit. Best wishes.
