4 weeks post op no weight list in a week



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am new to this app. I am almost 4 weeks post op and have not lost any weight in a week. I am eating what is suggested by my doctor and I started my workout routine. Has anyone experienced this? I'm very frustrated and hoping its because I am doing weight training.

Sounds like you have hit a stall. From what I have read, it's very normal at this stage. Just remember to get enough Protein and water... Your body will catch up and you'll start losing again!

I am 4 weeks and 2 days out. I've been stalled for about two weeks now. I'm eating around 800 calories, 60-65g Protein, under 30 carbs, getting my 64oz in, being active, and the scale won't move. Including my 20 day preop, I lost 38 lbs in the first 34 days and then it stopped. I'm having faith in my sleeve that it's going to work, but as Laura suggested to me the other day, my body needs time to adjust and play catch-up. I've put it through a lot recently!

I hit a stall around the same time. The scale will move again! What I found helpful during stalls was to take my measurements. Tyler scale may not be moving but believe me your measurements will still be shrinking :) I found that a nice motivator to get me through the stall.

Pretty much everyone experiences this at around this stage. Just hang in there and I promise you will start losing. Your body is going through a major adjustment. :)

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
