Hey everyone I'm 2 weeks out and I'm stalled...I'm not allowed to start excersising until week 3 so I'm wondering if that may be doing it...I was allowed to move to blends like 3 weeks prior to what they told me...and I do like the mashed potatoes :)and the scrambled eggs :)

I had surgery on April 4th and haven't weighed myself since. I think I'm scared of becoming too obsessed with the scale, and too defeated when I see a stall. From what I've seen on here stalls early on are normal because of all the healing your body is doing, etc. I'm sure those more experienced than I will have some good insight!

Don't worry I'm stalled too. Sleeved 4/5/12

Saw surgeon today he said its perfectly normal. He said its better to lose steady than quickly. Gives ur body time to catch up.

I am in the same boat as you. Had my surgery on March 28th and have been stalled since the 2 week mark. From what I have read it is very normal and we just have to keep with the program.

Ah, the infamous and almost universally experienced (and hated!) 2- to 3-week stall! Y'all should feel like part of the club for sure now! :-) Seriously, stalls reek, but they do occasionally happen along. No panic, no worries--just keep doing what you're supposed to do, and the weight loss will pick right back up again.

Congratulations to all of you on joining the losers' bench!

Ok point to remember from someone in another thread and I thought that's one for slow losing.... your skin will rebound better whenever you lose slower. That's a win from being slow losing right? Hang in there!

When I told my NUT that, she said "who told you you were supposed to be losing in the second week?" She said that the body is just getting used to the Fluid changes and not to worry about weight loss because it was for sure going to happen, but the body needs time to adjust. No worries. In my third week now, and it is adjusting and losing!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
