You probably will not like this answer but stalls are normal. I would first make sure your eating and exercise habits have not changed. If they are the same then you body is just in a adjustment time. I have had several stalls. Some short and some as long as 1 1/2 months. The longest one was just recent and I had lost a lot of weight....I knew my body was adjusting. That being said I always lose inches during a stall on the scale. Try not to panic the scale will move again. Best Wishes to you...

Good News!!!

If your stomach grows back you will be VERY famous!!! But it won't. You are doing well, and transitioning from fast to normal weight loss. If, on average you are losing a pound or two a week... over the long term you are doing well! Just keep your head going and stay with your program!

I'm 3.5 months out, and just lost a pound after an 8 day "stall". I don't really consider them stalls, though. I exercise regularly, have been following my NUT's plan, and have lost steadily since surgery. But it's not a daily loss, at least not for me. I rarely go up on the scale (maybe a few ounces, but not that often) but my loss tends to look like a crazy staircase - it always goes down, but the steps are all different lengths.

I don't stress too much about the stalls - there are a million posts on here about them, everyone goes through it, and there are vets on here who are still losing weight after 2 or 3 years! Even if it takes me that long, I'll be happy because I'll still be healthier than I was pre-op!

Good luck to you!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.

        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.
