Hello everyone I had the sleeve Dec. 21 and everything was going good so far I had lost 17lb and all of the sudden 5 days ago I am in a stall haven't lost a pound since then.... many people say it's normal and even more if I have my period, which I have now for 12 days :((

Use the search function and type in stall. Your concerns have already been addressed a few hundred times. Better yet, just go straight to the "Don't Sweat the Stall Stuff" subforum. That's where your post should go.

It's easy to be sad and frustrated...we all want our excess weight off and we want it to happen fast. Our bodies take the time it needs to do just that. Yes, it is very common to stall...just keep getting in your Protein, Water and Vitamins...if you follow the plan, it will come off. You will hit stalls, throughout the entire process. Chin up, all is good :)

This is completely normal. 99% of sleeve patients go through this exact same thing. Don't stress about it. Stick to your program, get your Protein in, get your Water in, take your Vitamins, and move around as much as possible and you WILL lose weight. I promise!

Stalls are like lovers. Your first will probably not be your last!

I needed the good laugh this caused..haha.

I am experiencing my first "stall" of a week, period related I'm hoping. I'm trying to be calm and not think about it.

@@janira - Am I understanding your post correctly that your period has lasted for 12 days? Is that normal for you? Have you talked to your ob/gyn?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will go to the doctor on Monday and talk about my period. It has never been that long and maybe this has something to do with the stall??? I will see on Monday after I talk to the doc and see what he says...

And yes, I guess stalls are normal and I just have to get over it :/

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
