I Think I May Have Stalled :(



Recommended Posts

Knew to expect this, but my scale hasn't moved in 3 days and I'm just barely two weeks out. It's very discouraging! I was losing so quickly and then it just stopped! I'm sad.

It WILL start again!! Your body needs some time to adjust. Beware: Your pants may fall off in the next few days. It happened to me during my first stall!! :) If you haven't already done it, take your measurements now so you can watch yourself shrink, even if the scale says you still weigh the same! :)

I was sleeved 4/24/12 and I'm in a stall. NUT said it was normal and there will be more stalls. Frustrating but as long as you do what you're supposed to there's nothing to worry about!! TOM will knock weight out of whack too!! In fact, surgery will knock TOM out of whack so most of us will experience some sort of stalls/gains/losses in irregular increments!! Enjoy the ride : )

I'm in the exact same boat - was losing about 2 pounds a day post-surgery, but the last four days have been 0 loss - 2 weeks out today, not totally discouraged, but worried what this means. I'm trying to stay in the "your body is doing what it needs" place but it's difficult, I have so much to lose, a stall this early is tough...

I just got out of a 3 week long stall and went down a size in clothing during that time. I mean one week I couldn't get into a pair of pants and the next it just slipped on easily. I had to triple check that I had the same pants.

From here on in, I'm on a mission to take the stigma out of stalls. I am convinced that they are good for you. I get more compliments during stalls that I get when I'm losing a pound a day by the scale.

They are going to happen and like Lissa says, your body needs to adjust and reshape. If you keep getting in your Water and Protein and sticking to the serving sizes you WILL lose the weight.

I'm 3 weeks postop and have been at a stall for the last 5 days. I was losing 1-2 pounds a day and it stopped. As a matter of fact one day I had gained 3 pounds. A little nerve wracking, but no regrets. I did have a good moment. I put a pair white pants in the cleaners and when I put them on yesterday, they were too big, LOL

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
