3 weeks post op gpass stall weight loss



Recommended Posts

When should I worry about not losing any more weight at the 3 week mark? I can't lose beyond 140 lbs. Am I worrying pre-maturely? Currently at the pureed stage. Please help with your responses. Thanks in advance.

Now is not the time to worry.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all have stalls and slow downs of weight loss. Almost everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery. You are right on schedule.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids every day. Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed. And exercise.

Embrace the Stall!

Mind if I ask why you can't lose beyond 140 lbs? Was this restriction self imposed, or did you doctor advise you of this?

Like stated in the first reply you should definitely not be worry anytime soon. There are a lot of factors that play into your weight loss including your starting weight, level of activity, etc. The more you weigh typically the faster you'll lose. Regardless of that I wouldn't worry about losing too much. As long as you keep up with your f/u appointments, stay in touch with your doctor & nutritionist, and keep to the plan....you'll be fine.

You've lost 140 pounds already!!!!!! You've put in alot of hard work my dear! :D The surgery itself adds weight. I was weighed in my hospital bed day 2 post surgery and weighed 10 lbs more.

If you're following the diet for each stage, you'll lose more.

I'm a month post op and have "only" lost 30 lbs from my presurgery weight.

Thanks for all the responses. Did not give right numbers for lbs. Must had brain freeze, The stall weight is 240lbs with start weight at surgery 261lbs.

Just into my third week and have stalled a bit as well. Lost 15lb before surgery and 15 after but have been flatlining for the last 4 days. I'm happy for what I've lost but can sure see that my body needs a break to deal with the changes before hopping on the slide again!

I felt the same fear you have right now. At my 3wk mark, I stalled and my stall lasted almost 3 wks! I went into my NUT visit feeling like an utter failure until she told me she wasn't worried and I just needed to up my Protein to cover my activity! She was right! As soon as I added a second Protein Drink in my day my weight went right down again! Just be patient and give your body what it needs and it will do what it needs to do. You will start losing again, just be patient and for me, I know I have to be very careful with carbs at all otherwise it knocks me right out of ketosis every time.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
