Hi, I was sleeved on March 4th and I feel fantastic. I would not have know I had surgery if it wasn't for my incisions! I'm just getting discouraged. I've only lost 12 pounds and that was in the 3 days after surgery. Is it typical for a stall to happen within the first week?

I was also sleeved March 4 and we have lost exactly the same. I am thrilled for the loss. You must remember that although you feel great you are still probably swollen and retaining Fluid as well. Have you had regularly bowel movements? Have you began phase 2 with the creamed Soups (taking in more calories then previous weeks)? Are you near your cycle? All these could be factors. My understanding is that a stall is 2 weeks or more at the same weight.

I'm curious what you mean by saying that you wouldn't know you had surgery. Is your intake restricted by your sleeve? Your hunger?

Most people report a stall in the 3rd week, but mine was in the 2nd and 3rd weeks. I am 2.5 mos. out and have only had one other week without a loss. As they say, keep following the plan your Surgeon and NUT gave you and it can't help but happen.

Texasmeg, I mean that I feel fantastic! No pain, no tiredness, nothing. I have to remind myself not to lift anything heavy. As far as eating and drinking, I follow the rules that were given me and I have no problems at all. I'm not hungry, I have to remember to eat. I have been able to hit my Protein and fluid goals without a problem. The only issue I may have is with Water. I just don't like it as much as I used to. I've read responses to that so I'm not worried. I am concerned that the sugar free flavoring that I'm putting in it is hindering my weight loss.

SkinnyMinnyIwillBe, I am eating pureed food, BM's have been fine, went thru menopause when I was 35, so not my time of the month. I was just hoping for something a little more significant. :)

discouraged. only lost 12 pounds

kcipriano

you/me/we are NOT allowed to say the word "ONLY" :angry:

as in i "only" lost X amount of weight

people have been shot for less :D

each lb is a victory :)

glad you are healing nicely - feeling good

down 12 lbs after 3 days

thats great!!!!

i don't think you should call "your situation" a stall!!!!

continue to follow all the rules (I know you will :) )

eating so few calories - it isn't possible not to lose weight

never compare your weight loss to others

the thing we all have in common is "that we're all different!!!"

good luck

See ProudGrammy's post above again! Smart lady! I think if we are feeling good and making solid choices about food and activity, we are LEAPS and BOUNDS ahead of where we were pre-op! Isn't it great not to have the nagging burden of the fridge calling, like a monkey on my back? Just the absence of acute, obsessive cravings in an incredible mental release. The scale only tells about one portion of our victory. I don't get on it every day for that reason. My mind and my loose clothing are telling me the truth.

I am still on Phase 2 liquid until the 21st. My Doc makes us do 2 weeks of this before pureed. How is it going to something more solid?

Good. Refried Beans and cottage cheese are my favorites. I think I was losing more on the liquid/puréed stage though.

transition was good. I have a scrambled egg w/cheese for Breakfast. I never thought 1 egg would satisfy me, but it does!

      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.

      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...
