So you are a lower bmi like myself??

id say that has a lot to do with it as we do lose slower as we don't have as much to lose in total. when I add in my pre Opp diet results and post Opp results it's amazing 22kgs at least since mid March

I think I just thought it would be more steady post Opp

I have been stalled for ten days too. I don't weigh everyday, but it's not moving. I did weigh myself the other day and it was up three pounds, but I think it was a night time way because my the morning it was normal again and has stayed at that same 246.5. Getting enough fluids, Protein, exercising.

It's a head game for sure.

I just keep repeating to myself, 500 high protein calories in, 400 burned through at the gym...fat has to be coming off somewhere even if the scale doesn't agree.

You may not be getting enough calories. Concentrate on getting in all your protein and Water - it'll come off. 500 calories is not alot at your stage and your body may be in starvation mode and doesn't want to part with the extra weight/fat.

My husband said i nees new clothes..so i did buy some that are still too small but i did that cause i found them on clearance...got 4 outfits under $30...as for what i wear now...lil baggy but making it work...mainly skirts and leggings...however i do want to say that i bought a size 12 Junior jeans that fit me perfect which means in another 5 lbs they will fit fabulous!! (FYI i was wearing size 16 before)

I'm in the same boat. I'm down 25lbs total, but the scale hasn't moved in over 2 weeks...

Had surgery March 22. I have been stalled for almost 3 weeks.

I have lost 27 lbs up to this point. I don't weight myself more than twice a week, but the last week has been so tempting to do it more often. I try to make sure I am getting enough Water and Protein. I will admit I think part of it initially was not getting enough protein. I have increased my protein through using high Protein Drinks and bars (can only eat 1/4-1/2 a bar at a time, but try to get the whole bar in throughout the day) as Snacks. I have also tried to make sure I eat my protein first, then any veggies. My biggest downfall is exercise. I know I need to increase and start to do more than the walking I have been doing.

Just a bit frustrated. Don't expect to loose tons of weight each month, and know there will be stalls, but dang........this is feeling like forever! Anyone else having stalls like this?

I haven't had a real stall. I'm slowly losing but not really getting stuck. I try to play around with different calorie intake every few days. I might have 800-850 for a few days then I do a day and go up to 950 and then go back down. I talked to my nut and she said this keeps my body constantly on "active" so it doesn't get stuck. Hope this makes sense.

This has been my first week losing again after stalling for two weeks. I'm closing in on 50lbs lost since the beginning of my pre-op liquid diet. Adding a second Protein Shake each day seemed to push me past the stall. I had been getting 55-60 g of Protein now I'm 80-90 g my body seems to like the added protein.

I was sleeved on March 30th and I am having a hell of a time lately. Nothing agrees with my tummy and I can't even stomach liquid. So needless to say I'm not getting enough calories or liquids. And I have been stalled for a while. It's so frustrating!

Did anyone else become intolerant of food that they were tolerating just a few weeks ago?

That seemed to be a huge issue for me - the protein. I upped my intake and have lost 4 lbs this week. Was quite suprized to say the least. Prior to that it was slowly and sure weight loss. This was my first really big stall. Taught me a lesson to keep my protein intake up.

Have not gotten intolerant, but have noticed that some things just don't seem to taste as good as they used too. For the liquid - that is a hard one. I could go a lifetime and not have a liquid diet again. Though I have found it helps me make sure I get my Protein in. Limited to 2 different flavors of Atkins that I use and that helps.

May want to explore different types of protein. For a while I was attached to cottage cheese and hard boiled eggs. That is all that I would eat. Not the best diet, but I was getting good protein in along with Protein Shakes.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
