Isn't 6 weeks kind of early for a stall? Stuck at 157...



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm 6 weeks out from band to sleeve revision. I started the day before surgery at 174 and I've now lost 17 lbs. The past 10 days or so (yes, I weight everyday. I know, I know) the scale has bounced between 156-158-156-157-156-157-156-157 on and on.I can't really cut back on calories, I'm already under about 700 - 800.

I'm thinking it's because I only have 26 lbs left to lose so it's going really slowly. At this rate I won't hit my goal for like a year! I thought it was last 10 lbs that were the hardest to lose. Seems it's the last 26!

What to do? Besides be patient...

6 weeks is not too early. I stalled from 2-10 weeks. It sucked!

However I also lost inches. I think your body is trying to catch up with your great weight loss. Give it time and I think the scale will move again.

You're doing fabulous!!

I had 2 separate 2-week-long stalls by 6 weeks. Nothing you can do about it. I'm still down 88 lbs (and below my doctor's goal weight!) in 5 1/2 months. The body releases weight when it wants, never in a straight line.

I stalled in my third week, but then started resuming. Your body fights the weight loss, but the biggest thing I recommend is walking every day. I use "Map My Fitness" on my iPhone to measure and since my 2nd day out of the hospital, I have walked every day, usually about 45 minutes but on days I was really tired I still tried to get to a half an hour. I think that has really helped me in many ways!!

Yes, be zen-like!

Control is great but (in my case) when I get my control 'frustrated' I give up, and I don't want to do that!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
