Been there too, change up what you are eating, add more Protein and exercise more. We all have them, just stay focused and you will begin to lose again.

I was stalled for 6 weeks stuck in the 220s. I am jut breaking out of it. Change up your food/ exercise for a bit. It is completely normal. Just be patient. Your body is catching up with itself.

It is heartbreaking for sure!! I had a almost 8 week stall. Then had 2 months I had only lost 14 pounds!! But I lost over 50 the first month and now I am losing 2-3 pounds a week again and I will be 7 months post op on the 29th.

We will always have stalls, but never fear when it breaks you will see results...also you loose inches too....

up your Protein, drink more Water....walk more are just a few things I do...

Oh and I hide the scale too..for me in the beginning all I wanted to do was see daily results...Now I have taught myself..I will do what i need to do, and my pouch will do the rest I don't need the extra stress of weighing myself (This is just something I do)

good luck

I actually found that getting less Protein for a day and having more calories helped...I was stuck for 2 weeks ...also increased excercise ;)

I am four weeks out. Get liquids in, but usually Protein is between 25-30 grams a day. I just can't do anything more than that right now. I am eating about 2 tablespoons a meal, 4 meals a day. Probably 400 calories. I have stalled for past week. Is it too few calories or not enough protein that is causing the stall? Walking 2 miles each day.

Yes...you need more protein especially so early on...I'm 5mos post op and I held back on my protein for a day...but I was able to get in more calories. ..you however need to follow dr. Orders...get all your protein in...

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
