I was sleeved on January 3. Up until the past week,I have loved my sleeve. However, for the past week I have been stalled. My starting weight was 263. I have been stuck at 242 for a week! Today, I am supposed to start on regular foods, but I am so worried that it will either prolong my stall or worse, make the scale go up! I know I am new to this, so I am open to any and all advice!

This is normal. You wont prolong or gain weight with regular foods. I found i actually had much more energy once i started regular foods, and the weight started dropping off again.

You will find you are also losing inches. I had my three week stall also. Your body has to have time to catch up somehow. Keep up the good work! ;)

You are smack in the middle of the 3rd week stall. 99% of sleevers will stall around this time. The only things you can do are stay with the plan and have patience. It will pass.

Don't worry stalls are normal and you might be stalled for a few more weeks. Prepare for the worst. YOU WILL keep losing!! Thats for sure. I was stalled at 225 in the beginning for 3 weeks. I thought that was the lowest I was going to weigh!! he he he

I just started real food today as well (yay!!). My surgeon told me to prepare to lose little or even nothing for the next 2 weeks. I hope that isn't the case, but I have prepared myself mentally. I just find it so interesting how the body works and how everyone releases weight at a different pace and at a different schedule.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
