Weight loss stalled..



Recommended Posts

I had surgery April 1st and tomorrow will be my 4th week. I lost weight the 1st and 2nd week (17 pounds so far) but the third week nothing. Is there something I am doing wrong? I know when I stepped on the scale and didn't see it move I wanted to cry.

This happens to a lot of us. I'm going through it too. I'm just trying to focus on healing and feeling better. The weight loss will come! Hang in there!!

It happens between 3-4 weeks post op and can last 2 weeks. Happens to about 99% of us

I am almost 6 months post op and it has happened to me several times through out. I find if I change up what I am eating and increase my Protein it gives me a jump start and I start losing again. Make sure you are getting enough calories. Don't let your body go into starvation mode. Good luck!!!

The weight comes off sooner or later. Always remember we put on weight over the years so over night we won't become slim.

I had my surgery on March 7th of this year. I weighed 205 pounds. I did not weigh myself at all until I went for my appointment on March 25th. I weighed in at 183. I weighed myself the following week and did not lose anything. The following week after that, I went down to 173 pounds. The next week, I lost nothing and the following week I lost 3 pounds. It can be nerve wrecking..

I had my surgery April 1 st also! I have lost a total of 27 and haven't moved for days. Don't let it Bother you it doesn't me too much because we will and other folks (non wls) are gla to lose. A couple pounds in a month! My doctor said when I went to my 2 week post op that 12 was a good loss (at the 2 week mark)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
