It is good that we are in contact here all having been sleeved around the same time. Although we have some differences do to age, starting weight, etc it seems that most people have had a stall for up to the lSt four weeks so it must be normal.

Now I am adjusting my food and Water and exercise up since my. Calories and Protein was so low. It looks like I am getting out of the stall especially once TOM is done.

Went for my six week post op, Dr. Was happy with my weight loss. :

30 lbs since surgery Dec. 19th and 50 Total since Sept. He said the stall was normal as well.

Oh my gosh all of you are doing remarkable! Congrats and keep it up.

Just remember not to go on the scale more than once a week and the stalls are so your body can catch up. I notice inches going away during the stalls. Kind of reminds me of my kids gaining weight before they grew an inch or two when they were young. It's just how our amazing bodies work.

My doctor has not even discussed weight with me, and has indicated that as long as I am losing weight, eating well, and exercising, I am succeeding! I have to say, it's nice not to feel like I am being evaluated every time I go in, because then it would just feel like every other diet I have ever been on! This feels more like a shift in my body and my brain, and everyone is on my supportive team.

I'm with you. my doctor is just happy if I'm loosing he dont even care about the Protein Shakes I told him I hate them and I'm grown and WON"T drink them and he said as long as I'm getting in 50-60 a day with my food intake then he is good with that so I eat mostly fish and chicken and yogurt to assure that because Protein shakes taste like yuck lol. I simply told him what I was eating and that I walked 30 minutes a day and he said good job lol, No pressure on me either thank God, I already feel some sort of way since I had to buy a new scale that placed more pounds on me from the last scale I had, But since they still see weight loss they are good with it. *shrug*

I stalled for 3-4 weeks about 2 weeks post op. Then I lost rapidly and steadily for almost 2 weeks (another 14 pounds) and now I'm stalled for a full week again. I've never been addicted to drugs but this is what it must be like lol. While I'm losing I'm king of the world and want to do anything i can to make it never stop. While I'm stalled I'm depressed and nagged by fear that I'll never start losing again. Highs and lows. At least I can laugh about it.

Just had my 6 week check up last week. My doctor and nut are not concerned with rate of loss. Sleeved 12/17 and down 30 lbs. They want me to get 60 g of Protein and 64 oz of Water. I asked what to expect in lbs lost per week. They said it was so variable that they don't predict other than to say that by 6 months it is usually 60 to 80 lbs. Sounds good to me!

Ok, update my surgery was 12/27/2012, I was only on my pre-diet for 5 days and only lost 3 pounds because it was kind of a rush to get the surgery done before the new year, so I count my weight loss as a total. So, I started at 251 and I weighed this morning and I am now 229, so at 6 weeks including week prior to surgery I am a total of 22 pounds down. I guess this is good, I ended up getting sick right after surgery with a really bad cold and was in bed for a week, then ended up with a stomach virus one day, but have been fine since. :-)

I feel the same, I'm trying not to weigh daily, have been measuring every 2 weeks, just increased Protein to 90-100 and kept carbs below 30g. It helped me break my stall.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
