Hi all! I am 11 days out and already hit a stall. I haven't lost an ounce in 3 days. Has anyone else started out this way?

YES! Everyone loses differently and your body is in shock. You aren't even 2 weeks out. Your body is holding on to those ounces. Please, please, please stay off the scale for a week or 2. You're going to drive yourself nuts. 3 days of no weight loss 11 days out is not a stall.

Keep your chin up and don't allow yourself to feel defeated. Patience.

Hi, I am one week post op for gastric sleeve. I gained 10 lbs from fluid inthe hospital. 10 lbs. I weigh more now than the morning of my surgery.this is a textbook reason why the scale is also a 'tool' &. I'm referring to it negatively right now. I wish things like this were addressed by the bariatric center before surgery. I know they cannot prepare you for every single thing since we are all different. It's hard not to think I will be 'the one' who doesn't lose weight with this surgery tool. A sad thought. Other than that, so far everything seems manageable. Just trying to take things slowly. Am trying small amounts of puréed things today. So far, so good.

I also gained 10 pounds from the surgery. That came off pretty fast and then I lost another 13 quickly.......then wham, nothing for the last 3 days. I know it is normal, but it is frustrating!!

Hi,

I had my sleeve last Tuesday and between the pre-op diet (which I followed to a T) and now I have only 3 lbs lost. They said to expect that as the body takes time to adjust. My doctor told me that if I was ever in a situation where I thought I might starve to death - that I never would because my body just conserves everything, if it feels something is wrong. He said I should concentrate on BMI # from now on and not the scale. I don't think I can do that

Good luck

The scale really hasn't moved 12 days out but I also measured my Waste, hips you know you get the idea and lost 5" in the waste hips are to same and so is bust but I'll take it !!! Lol

Omg the dr surely did not tell me I would gain 10 pounds the day of surgery...i was so sad and worked so hard on my 7 day liquid preop and lost 9.2 pounds only to wake up and have gained 10......im 5 days out and have been losing 1.5 a day....i too must stay off the scale!!

I know it's like we have something in are head that says we are going to loose all the extra weight in the first week!!! Ya right !! It took us longer then a week to put it on!! This is no quick fix that is for sure!! Hang in their!!
