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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
