Stall at only 6 days post op...Sad :(



Recommended Posts

I haven't had surgery yet, so I'm probably not much help.... BUT, you also have a lower starting weight than most people. So you may not lose as fast!

Thank you everyone:) Hannah55, 18 days ,yikes!! So about how many calories were you eating during phase 2, and was it when phase 2 was over that you started losing? I actually got in almost 1100 calories in today. I don;t know if that;s too much or not, but I figured it was worth a shot. Thanks again:)

Everyone has different plans with their Drs/Nuts. At 2 weeks out I was still at 300-400 cals/day and then 500-600 average until my 6 wk follow up.

I had my sleeve done 9/4. Recovery is going great. Felt weak the first 4 days and just minor soreness at one incision. Feel great now. I have followed everything to the tee, pre op and post op. I am getting all of my Protein in and fluids and just started puree. My NUT said I may not be getting enough calories and to drop one Protein Shake and get the protein from foods now that I'm on puree. I started doing that yesterday. I have lost 6 lbs. since surgery (plus 9 lbs. pre op), and now have been at the same weight for 4 days. I also have been walking. I have read so much about stalls, but mostly around week 3. Why am I having one at 6 days? I worry I'll have another one at 3 weeks. Getting discouraged, but I keep trying to tell myself it will come off, but still frustrating:( I am very grateful for the great recovery though:)

Yeah I am having the same problem and had mine 8/29. It is fristrating but not looking at the scale everyday is helping me this week...we can get over this because its going to work. Think about it we have to let out body heal before it can really work, just because the incisions are healed fdont mean our insides are.

I had a stall that started about 2 weeks post op and lasted about a month. No kidding!

But... I started losing again eventually and now I'm down 45 pounds since the start of my pre-op diet on 6/25/13. :-)

      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!!
