Hey guys, I had surgery on July 3rd and I've lost 32 pounds but the scales isn't really moving the way I think it should be... How are we doing!!

Sleeved July 10.

Consult weight 360

Surgery weight 306

Today weight 270

I was sleeved in July 18. I am down 60 pounds today. I have hit a stall' date=' no movement in a week and half. Any ideas?[/quote']

That seems great, is it 60 pounds since surgery or does that include pre-surgery weight loss?

July 24th, 1st week 10 pounds gone 2nd 8 pounds, 3rd and 4th I hit a stall ; ( I barely started loosing again 2 pounds this is my 5th week post op. Plus my pre 18pounds less. Dont know I feel not loosing enough ; (

My loss has been similar. I lost 20 pounds the first two weeks ( sleeved 07-29) and only 3 since then. From what I read its pretty common to stall. It will start back up again.

July 31st for me. Lost 29 during the preop liquid and 23 since surgery. Total of 52 lbs. :-). I'm still on full liquids. Will advance to soft food Sept 5th.

How long have you been doing the liquid diet for?

I was on Clear Liquids only for the first week. And have been on full liquids after that. So about a month and half. Counting preop. A month since surgery.

Oh. I applaud you. I could not have done it for that long. You are a very strong willed & determined person!!!! Best wishes on your journey!!!!

I'm in the same boat. I was sleeved July 30th. I lost 18 pre opt and 27 post opt. I haven't lost anymore since beginning of week three. This past Wednesday started week 5 hoping the stall is over.

Good luck to you guys!

I had surgery on 7/30. Lost 22 preop & 17 post. I'm on soft food and everything seems good . I had a lapband in 2004 and had it removed in 2010 due to a slip. Gained everything plus lots more once it was out.

It was recommended to use a stool softener instead. The other stuff retains additional water in your stomach to create a movement.

Well guys I ended my stall yesterday morning when I went down .4 lbs. And today I got on the scale and dropped about 4 lbs!!!! Turns out I was eating to few calories again. This is my second stall and it seems like when I stall it is because I am not eating enough calories and spreading my meals too far apart. I am now at 269.4!!! A total loss of 38 lbs!!!!!!

Hi carissicagail,

How many calories per day were you eating during the stall? I'm in a stall now for about two weeks.

I haven't been counting calories lately bc I have been eating at my colleges cafeteria so it is hard to track calories. But, during my first stall I was eating around 500 calories a day.

July 10th- No pre-op diet

SW: 257

CW: 215

TOTAL 42lbs gone forever!!
