@ - you didn't share a lot of info - pre or post-op? Search "stall" and read about the 3 week stall on BP.

They happen, its part of the ride! Like a roller coaster, after the big drop or so, there are the "bunny slopes".

Perfectly normal. You will have stops and stalls.

Join the club of ....all of us. Stalls are normal. also think about the fact that while you may not be "losing" you can be chaning your body. Sometimes even when your not losing you body is redistributing muscle etc from working out, and youre getting fit, your just gaining muscle at the same rate you are losing fat. Ive noticed losing inches on the body, even when overall weight stayed the same. You will hit curves valleys and hills all along the way, dont give up just keep going.

i was stuck at 10 pounds to go for 2.5 weeks. then in one week i lost 3 pounds, then bounced back up a pound, then it has taken me another 2 weeks to get back to that seven pounds to go. its not fun, but then again this isnt about fun. its about us and our health. You Can Do This!, dont stop!

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process. No one loses at a constant or predictable rate. If you are intending to lose a large amount of weight you will stall periodically. Most folks experience their first stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements as recommended, and exercise.

Embrace the Stall!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
