So UGH. I'm 3 weeks post-surgery and have been the same weight for the past 10 days. I know this is normal. I totally get that. However, I'm starting to have some wavering faith. Any advice to keep it all positive would be so greatly appreciated! :) Thank you!!

But you have already lost quite a bit, since surgery, right? That's awesome! Your body just needed to take a break. And, while the scale may not be changing, your body is. That's the best part.

Keep the faith!

My advice,stay away from the scale for a few days, follow your program and then weigh yourself maybe on Monday.

I'll bet you'll see a surprise.

Good luck

The same thing happened to me. You're going to have many of the stalls so don't fret it. I am now 6 weeks out had at least 3 stalls. To get my metabolism up I increased my activity I did some light weight lifting I also did some cardio and drink a lot of green tea. It only took one session of cardio and one session of mild weight lifting on my arms to get me back on track. If you do nothing to change the style will eventually and if you'd like to speed up so that it will end sooner then change up your routine a little bit.

You're definitely going to stall. Your body has just been through a major transformation! Like another poster said, it needs a break. It has to get use to the idea of what you have done. I went through quite a few stalls, especially early on. I know its hard to stay faithful, but you will get through it! Good Luck!

Thanks everyone! I had my husband put the scale in our scary garage so I won't be tempted to grab it, and I'm just going to chill out and not weigh for awhile. :) Hopefully that will help, along with mixing up the routine! I appreciate the advice and support!

I agree I am 4 months post opt and stalls will continue just stay focus and eat healthy, drink your Water and Protein and exercise, your bode will begin to loose weight again and remember just because the scale is not moving does not mean you are not loosing inches good luck.

      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.
