Been in a stall for almost 2 weeks. I can feel my clothes getting loose, and I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to, so hopefully the scale moves soon.

Honestly, do you guys see a difference?

Starting weight in January: 299

Day of surgery (July 3): 289

Current weight (July 29): 262

Don't mind the messy hair or shlumpy appearance lol. I'm a severely tired momma who hasn't slept a full night in almost 2 years!

And a current head shot..

Yes! I see a huge difference!!! You are looking great. I find that when I am in a stall- like now- I think I am still loosing inches even though the scales are not moving. What do you think?

I see a smaller stomach and a much-better defined waist! Yes, there's a difference. Congratulations!

You're doing awesome! I stalled for two weeks in my first 4 weeks, but continued dropping the inches. Don't worry about the stalls, they'll come and go, just keep doing what you're supposed to and you'll be fine!

Thanks everyone! It's a little disappointing when I get on the scale every morning and it isn't moving. I've actually been losing/gaining the same 2lbs for almost 2 weeks. But I'm getting all my Water and Protein, and I'm walking everyday, so I'm sure the scale will move eventually!

I am a pre-op and I definetly see the difference in your stomach, waist and arms. Great job. I have been told not to weigh myself everyday after surgery, but I am sure I will be doing the same thing. Keep up the good work.

I'm 3 weeks out today and broke my week long stall by upping calories, Protein, and carbs a bit... i think my body was in starvation shock from the first two weeks! If you can up your Protein even, that might help... going from 55 to 60 g protein to 80 to 90 g protein seemed to do it for me.

BTW, your arms are like shrinking and you look great... don't get discouraged... this is a marathon, not a race and you will need "stalls" at various points to catch your breath!

My dr told me your body is changing the most dutiful the times you are not losing at all on the scale . I'm lost 17 lbs my 1st week but haven't lost a pound this week ( scale just keeps playing with 2-3 lbs). Weird to plateau this fast ??

I can tell a difference for sure. Keep up the good work! I am on a three week stall. I just keep telling myself that it will pass but it's getting frustrating. I never eat above 750 calories. I am almost two months out and have only lost 26 pounds. Maybe I expect too much too soon but I feel like during this stall that my clothes are getting loser. You're pictures are encouraging because I can definitely tell a difference. Are these ictures taken during your stall period?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
