Are STALLED, like myself!! That way we can keep each other company before we go bat $h!t crazy!!

LOL

I read ALL ABOUT these stalls before surgery and KNEW I could very well have it happen to me.... but yet I am still depressed and about to pull my hair out since the scale hasn't moved in almost 2 weeks!!!

Lost 30 lbs my first 2 weeks post-op - but now NOTHING the past week and 5 days!!

Anyone want to add????

VENT AWAY!!

I was sleeved june 27th, and no stall yet, but I am soo not looking forward to my first one lol I mean I know that they happen, but I just want to know that I'm eating like this for a reason! haha

WOW!!!! 30 lbs is awesome weightloss in 2 weeks time!!!! You are doing fantastic!!

After reading your post I became a little more frustrated and depressed because I lost 9lbs the first two weeks and have lost nothing O since. I was sleeved on June 7th. Makes me think if I knew then what I know now I highly doubt I would have chose this surgery, especially after all I have been through with my whole journey.

I was sleeved June 5th. Lost 32 lbs fast. Haven't really lost any since then. I wouldn't get too discouraged. I think the initial weight loss is probably water weight we shed. It's going to take our bodies a little time to get used to the sleeve and our new eating routines and to jump start our metabolisms and really get loosing the pounds. But it will happen soon enough. Just be patient and try not to get too discouraged.

hope2befree- one of the number one rules of WLS:

You cannot compare your progress to other people's!

I had about 185 lbs to lose initially - so I have a LOT to lose, that's alot of why I will more than likely lose more up front than those that have 80-100 lbs to lose.

Nine lbs is GREAT!! Think about it, that's almost TWO BAGS of potatoes!! Pick two of them up at the store and feel how heavy they are... you may change your tune

Yep Nate, our bodies are going through stuff in a crazy way, here's a good article that explains the week 2/3 post-op stall in more detail:

Some good info!

Heck ya. I wanna chime in. I'm 31 days postop and have lost 20ish pounds since surgery. For the last week and a half or so my scale has been going up and down the same 2 1/2 pounds and it is driving me crazy. It doesn't go above 270.8 but it won't go below 268 I keep waking up every morning thinking this is gonna be the day I see 267 and nope, it hasn't been the day yet. Tomorrow? A girl can dream, right?

Amy!! how frustrating!!!

This morning I woke up and was saying to myself "I'm NOT GONNA WEIGH I'm NOT GONNA WEIGH!!"...and what do I do, walk right on up and WEIGH. Only to see the SAME number I've been seeing for 12 days!! LOL I am such a glutton for punishment.. and a self-admitted scale-wh*re... haha

I am EIGHT POUNDS from being in twoderville- EIGHT POUNDS!! I actually was as close as FIVE POUNDS away after being desperate and stupidly taking some lasix last week (DUMB, do not attempt... lol)...

(SIGH)

I haven't stalled yet (thank god!!!), but I best most of you have cuz either 1) you had a huge initial loss and your body needs to adjust, or 2) your menstrual cycle is probably the cause.

I can imagine it's frustrating (I know my time will come), but the great thing about this surgery is that you WILL begin to lose again.

Keep the faith!

It sounds like we are both in the same slow boat blondeej and it sucks! I never had a stall this early out the gazillion times I did Weight Watchers so I was sure it wouldn't happen list VSG.....WRONG! I too am a scale wh%#e and I doubt it will ever change. Tomorrow I will do what I do everyday. I will get out of bed, pee and hop on the scale and tomorrow again I will be optimistic. One day, hopefully soon, I will be happy at the number!

Not sleeved yet but don't want to be a slave to the scale how do your clothes fit are you taking measurement your probably still losing in places that won't show up on scale

Hi...I'm Jill, and I'm a June (12) sleever and I'm in a stall

Im 3.5 weeks out, have lost 26 lbs and my scale has not moved in 7 days

I get in at least 60grams of Protein per day, get all my Water in, I exercise at least 40 minutes a day ( walking, elliptical, swimming)

WhAts the point of having my stomached butchered to loose 26lbs?

*sigh* pout

Good point Skye. I may be in a stall but in the last week, I've been able to put on pants that didn't fit the weeks prior. I am taking my measurements bit only every 4 weeks. I'm right in the middle of that 4 weeks right now.

Stalls are normal and they don't mean you are done losing weight. For most people needing to lose a lot of weight, they will happen multiple times. Hang in there and It will pass.

Stalls aren't fun and it screws with your psyche, but we ALL knew that it would happen. I have done the 2 lbs up 1 lb down 1 lb up 3 lbs. down routine myself.

Measure yourself, that's all I can say because I seem to lose the most inches during the times I stall. I was 206 this morning, but I'm not even going to bother changing my profile because tomorrow I may be 208.

I look smaller, I know I'm smaller the stall sucks completely, but I will get up pee and hop on the scale.

Funny thing though is I used to weigh more when I did that than if I had my morning shake and my morning poopy, but I rarely poop anymore and that's one of my biggest issues. I now do my morning pee and hop on and let it go.

I had a day that I weighed myself like 8 times and I was like why am I doing this. I like to weigh myself every day though even if it's discouraging, because not weighing myself daily helped contribute to me going over 300 lbs in the first place.

Oh another thing regarding stalls, the heat. Heat will cause you to retain Water. It's been 101 - 107 here lately and hopefully I can get out more and exercise once this heat wave slows down.

Good luck everyone

Awesome article!! Thank you so much!!
