Don't freak out. It happens. Even in the beginning, I would stall for 3 or 4 days, then wake up 4 pounds lighter the 5th day. It's normal and don't worry. The weight will come off.

I am almost 4 months out from surgery and have only lost 10lbs in the 3rd month. 65lbs in total. Is it normal to slow down or is there something I can do to get back on track?

Don't worry, I've been at a stall for two weeks and I'm only three weeks post op. On the up side, I've lost another whole size in my clothes so at least I know something's happening!!

Dont look at it as a stall. Its your body adjusting to all the crap being thrown its way... or not thrown its way. Protein is key and so is excercise. Keep following the plan and the weight will come off when it is ready to. Fat seems to have a clock all of its own. Hang in there... patience is key

I just got off a 15 day stall. I wasn't getting all of my Water and only about 45 grams of Protein. My nut told me to shoot for 80-90 grams of protein daily I have been doing this (with protein shakes) for two days now and I have lost weight for the last two days. I was sooooo discouraged because I got stuck at 3 weeks post op and i haven't cheated once. I am now 5 weeks. Sooooo increase ur protein and get all ur water in...no matter how difficult it is and then check ur weight again.

I've done this! Bin 3 weeks out and I've been stalled at 20-22lbs. I'm having a hard time getting in my calories, so I'm not losing.

Don't worry.. I was where you were 2 weeks ago and everyone is right. Follow the plan and it will happen. I set the alarm on my phone to remind me to eat-drink-exercise-and take my Vitamins. It really helps. And I use My fitnessPal Ap on my phone to log everything... I'm very visual and it easy for me to not eat because I'm just not hungry. Keep positive and don't stress.

It has officially been 1 week with no weight loss at all ... I am beyond frustrated !!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm starting to feel like that's all the weight I am going to loose. I'm still doing everything by the book and getting at least 35 oz of Water a day and 3 Protein Shakes and all I can seem to eat atrial times is about 1 1/2 oz. of meat!!! I'm walking briskly on the tread mill 5x a week for about 20-30 min. What am I doing wrong that my weight has been stalled for a week, how long is this stall going to last?? I'm not even 3 weeks post op !!!

Whew! Breath :-D your doing great :-) keep following your plan and step away from the scale :-) it can drive you NUTTS. I actually ended up taking mine to my moms who doesn't live to far. Some times you will loose inches or clothing sizes before pounds. Good luck :-)

I feel like I'm reading a post from myself three weeks ago. I did the same thing. Don't stress the scale will move. Your body needs to adjust to the rapid weight loss. I didn't loose any weight for 9 days and then last week I lost 8 lbs. Doing the same thing I was the week before. Be patient it will happen. Now I haven't loss any thing yet this week. I measured myself pre surgery and now on the weeks I don't loose I measure. It realy helps when you see your loosing inches too. So far I have lost 23 inches overall.

Keep your wheels on ... Your on your way!!!!

I'm 4 weeks out and haven't lost for 10 days. I'm getting my Protein in and 700 cals a day and not losing. It's scaring me.

Thanks so much for everyone's comments on here! They are making me feel better.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
