My weight had not moved for a week. I lost 20 lbs in the first the weeks. The next week nothing- it could cause a person to freak out. Any one else stall out this early?

I am 6 weeks out and hit a stall between weeks 3-5; I didn't lose any weight for almost 2 weeks (of course I was stressing out). Then, I lost 8 lbs in two days. Your body is just recovering from your first 20lbs. Just keep following what the nutritionist tells you and the weight will come off

Ugh,I understand. I'm just three weeks post op and have been stuck for two weeks! I'm going nuts. So frustraring. Following diet to a T. Lost 30 pounds since my pre-op diet now nothing for two weeks. I feel your pain. ????

I'm in the same boat. I lost 23 lbs fast. I'm at week 3 post surgery today, and I've stalled for 4 days at 299lbs. LOL Well, at least the scale is not going up. 44 lbs total lost, but I can feel it, people are already seeing a change in me, so I'll take those compliments and hope that scale moves soon! I'm not eating all I am supposed to be, I just can't seem to get in all my Protein yet. Fluids are eh, almost there. I just keep trying.

Good luck to all the stallers out there. We'll get through it!

I think I understand the science behind it....which helps, but doesn't mean I like it. LOL

I know how you feel. My weight also stopped at 4 weeks and it didn't change for a whole month. I was really frustrated but then it started falling off. I also hit one at 12 weeks that lasted for a while. I am 6 months out and I have hit another stall but I know it will pick up again. Don't lose hope, the weight loss will pick back up.

OK this is crazy, but today I got on the scale, and down 1 lb. LOL After complaining about stalling, which I did for a few days, but who knows if this is going to continue or not. Anyone's guess.

I'll just have to wait it out and see.

Well,here I am just over 2 weeks and still exactly the same weight! I even joined a gym and started working out....nothing. So frustrating. Think I may call the doc tomorrow. Maybe what I'm eating too high in calories? Turkey with lite mayo,chicken with lite mayo,1% cottage cheese,baby cereal,soup,avacado,hummus. I'm so frustrated

Dear Bostongirlforever:

When did you start to eat turkey and chicken? How long were you on full/soft?

Hi Nursedebbie!

I'm on puree now. I just buy canned chicken,tuna,turkey and throw it in the mini processor with a little lite mayo. But....I also haven't been bothered with any kind of food,except my Protein shakes,they make me gag!

I didn't mean to post that last one, I am three weeks and have been stalled as well. It's been since I went on soft foods. It's nice to know I am not alone.

I just finished week 2...heading into week 3. Glad I found this topic so I can be prepared. I keep hearing about stalls, they obviously happen at different times for different people...just hoping to keep my "head" on straight and remember it's all worth it. Good Luck everyone!!

Glad to hear from you guys cuz I stalled out to!!! TWO weeks after losing 23 pounds... Thought I was doing sumthin wrong with adding new food

Yes,mine started when I went to puree too! I joined a gym this week in hopes that it will wake my metabolism up lol. Good luck to all of us stuck

I think the gym is gonna help... I'm due to start Monday

Ugh,been burning about 250 calories at the gym (starting slow) and still nothing! Not even an oz in almost 3 weeks. I'm affraid I'm gonna be that small percentage that doesn't lose after gastric bypass. Very frustrated

My stall seems to be coming in sputters. LOL

I went 4 days with no loss, then 1 lb down, then the next day 2 more lbs down, now today, no change. Who knows what this all means. I'm as confused as anyone and I'm not eating more or less, exercising more or less...makes no sense to me at all.

I'm not going to worry, obviously my body is doing whatever it's doing. I FINALLY got in over my Fluid goal yesterday, and drank 72 oz! First time since surgery I went over my goal. That's something I'm excited about.

I will still continue to wake up and weigh before the sleep is out of my eyes, every day....hoping for some progress. Wishing luck to everyone, that they see their scales move too!
