I had a 2 week stall starting 1 day after my 1 week post op appointment. Although it was EXTREMELY frustrating, I do believe our bodies are in shock for losing weight so fast. I lost 22 pounds in the 2 week pre op + 10 the week after surgery. My surgery date was Feb 19 & I am down a total of 43 pounds. Do your measurements. Even though I wasn't losing on the scale, I was definitely losing inches. I also get my Protein in but struggle with Water. Best of luck to everyone! Just work your plan. I can't wait to see what we have to say in June!!

Same here- sleeved 2/17, down 48lbs (30 preop). I think I've lost more inches in the last two weeks that I've been stalled on the scale.., it's crazy!

My almost 2 week stall has broken! Yesterday I stepped on the scale and had lost almost 5 lbs! Finally! Now to get my weight loss going again for my May 31st wedding on the beach in San Diego!

I've been stuck for 10 days! I don't get all of my Water and Protein in every day and haven't started walking consistently yet. I've not had too many problems with pain and have not vomited. Still on full liquids until Wednesday. Only 18lbs down from surgery 3/25. I'm not overly exhausted, but I do get tired easily. I am frustrated that I have stalled and frustrated that I have not been released to do heavier workouts. I was doing Insanity 3-4 days a week preop. I am starting Protein Shakes tomorrow (have been using Isopure clear liquid for protein). Hopefully that and dedication to water intake will kick this stall. I guess I just wanted to say, you are not alone. I've heard several people talk about their stalls about this time postop. We can do it, and we will reach our goals with hard work. Keep your head up! PS- I drink Poweraide Zero and sugar free Popsicles when I get bored/tired of water. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm so glad I'm not alone. I was beginning to think I was doing something wrong or the surgery didn't work. Thanks again!

You will! We all have had (and will have) stalls. I've just decided to weigh myself no more than once a week, or less. My clothes are the biggest indicator for me, if the process is going well:) while I obviously want to weigh less, I'm going by how my clothes fit, and how I feel.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
