I am 6 weeks post surgery and have been stalled with my weight loss over a week. I'm hearing the same news from many of my February Sleeve buddies. So frustrating! Any vets out there have stories or words of encouragement related to weight loss stalls?

I'm in my 6th month and I've had more stalls than I can count. But I have lost wright. All those little periods of loss add up. Keep working the program and your body will let go of the weight when it's ready.

I had 3 stalls in 8 months. They do happen.. But then you lose fast and then stall.. Picture walking down stairs. YOU lose and lose and lose and then level and then another stair comes. Same idea.

I'm 15 months out and totally stuck. Have been at this weight a while now - at least 4-5 weeks. It's taken me about 6 months to lose the last 20 pounds.....a few days or a week isn't really much of a stall by comparison.

At 6 weeks out I hadn't stalled yet, and I was thinking "yeah, I GOT this!). Then I gained 3 pounds and there I sat for a month. On the fifth week I finally dropped the extra 3 pounds plus 2 more. And this was all while I was sick on medications and could barely eat/drink anything. 3 rounds of IV fluids and maybe 400 calories/day. Basically starving with no weight loss. As soon as my Meds were switched I doubled my Fluid and calorie intake and immediately broke the stall.

But even on the stall, my snug jeans became loose jeans, so my body was still losing inches, if not pounds. And I only weigh once/week so I wouldn't even know about the shorter stalls.

Wow- when I started this process, I had no idea your body could stall that long on so few calories.!

That they are! Even though the scale hasn't moved lately, I still feel so much better than a month ago! Thanks for sharing.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
