I have been stalled / fluctuation the same 3 lbs for the past MONTH ! I am not even 3 months post op.

I had surgery on Oct 14th. I stopped losing right after thanksgiving and have been fluctuating since. It's now a new year and I want to get back to losing.

How common is a month long stall? I was reading that stalls happen at 3 months. I was early with my 3 week stall and got it at 2 weeks. Maybe I got a month long stall at 2 months instead of 3?

I thought about doing the 5 day sleeve test to get my system back on track.

As far as inches, I did lose, but as of lately (past several weeks) I haven't lose any inches.

I'm just super frustrated and need to know how common this is or if I need to call my DR ?

Here's my month chart .. Frustrating !!

Hi there. Happy New Year.

I had a stall at three months and after the stall, that's when my weight loss started to slow down. The three and four month mark were struggles for me mentally because of the slow down - exercise helped me mentally.

Everyone's loss is different. Your body is unique - your weight loss will be unique as well.

Glad your measuring - that always helped me when the scale stopped moving. Take lots of pictures, too. I love looking back and seeing the transformation.

Best of luck to you!

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
