Did anyone stall out at around 3 weeks post op?



Recommended Posts

I stalled after one week post op. The scale didn't budge for like a week in a half...it even went up one day. I had to limit weighing myself, but as everyone predicted if I kept doing the right things then the scale will move again and sure enough it did.

Thanks for the info on your stall. This is very frustrating but I'm gonna continue to try and get in my Protein and Water

I'm in the same boat. I was sleeved 1/11 and was losing a pound a day for a couple weeks. Then, right at week three, I hit the breaks. Now for almost the duration of February, I've lost 2-3 lbs. Total from surgery date is 20 lbs. I'm trying to stay optimistic, but like you, I feel that I may have had this surgery, and will be stuck at 209 forever.

Remember not to judge everything on the scale. Your weight may not change during your stall but you will still be losing inches!! Chin up and give ur body a chance to catch up to becoming a new you!

This has been my concern, I stalled at 3 weeks and have been worried that things weren't working right but reading all these comments on it has helped me. I am 4 weeks out now. Glad to know it gets better..:)

Yep been there done that..was sleeved on jan 7th and hit the stall at 2 weeks for about 3 weeks. Its so frustrating I know but it does break. I know with me and all my years of dieting hell to consume less than 1000 calories and NOT lose weight? Just can't wrap my mind around that but hang in there it will start again. Oh and if you can stay off the scale for awhile..hard to do yes I know. Good luck

15 days out and stalled at 223 for the last 5 or 6 days. Very frustrating especially when you follow the rules! This too shall pass!

I am in the EXACT same situation. I was sleeved 1/15/2013' date=' am down 23 pounds, and have only lost 2 pounds in the last 2 and a half weeks. I eat between 700 and 950 calories and get between 50 and 80 grams of Protein. It's so discouraging :([/quote']

Me too, sleeved 1/16 and lost 25 pounds within 3 weeks, and then the scale stopped moving. Calories for me 600-700, and still struggling with 64oz fluids, just can't drink that much :( don't know how but it seems on days that I meet Fluid goal, all I do is drink all day long. And I feel like I'm going to gag from too much fluids.

If you search Forums, for Lil Diva's bootcamp, it will come up. Basically, it's a 5 day plan, cutting out carbs & sugars & eating lots of Protein & drinking Water, to kick start your weight loss.

Yeeeeessss ma'am! When I reached 2 weeks I had lost 25lbs and now at week 4 (3/5) I will still be the same weight but you have to remember sleeve weight loss isn't as rapid as bypass or the band and YOU yourself have to physically do the work also. I know it seems discouraging but don't worry darlin once you start doing your part it'll melt like butter :) and although your not losing lbs you are still losing inches.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
