After the initial weight loss post op, I experienced the first stall.

I think it started in week 3, so for 2 weeks plus, there was nothing.

I didn't gain any weight, and I didn't lose any weight.

I actually refused to step on my scales, as my look in the mirror showed me no change.

During the past 2 weeks I was able to do some exercise, mainly some walking and dancing (at home )

I was also getting very hungry (puree and then soft food phase).

Was told by NUT to increase my Proteins. Still was hungry ... ! Every 2 hours or so ...

I also had a couple of bad days, physically and emotionally.

I caved in and had some chocolate and ice-cream, and I paid for it by an attack of horrible Acid Reflux.

Did not exercise for few days, slept badly.

Today, I finally had the courage to weigh myself ......

And, I lost some weight, YAY!

OK, little loss, from 93.1 kg to 92.5 kg ..... however I haven't gained, thank goodness !

I have been reading up on stall information, and watching YouTube videos on WLS, stalls, weight issues post op, etc

Found some fantastic videos from Dr. Matthew Weiner, and I have saved many of them.

So, slow but steady .....

Who else has experienced Weight Stalls post surgery?

I know these stalls can keep happening, so I am interested in hearing from others, whether recent or past Stalls.

Thank you.

PS. I am stepping up my proteins, and lowering carbs for now, as per my NUT's instructions.

I too experienced what you have. Although I have noticed that I would gain a pound or two and then lose a pound or two. It's very frustrating. I had my surgery March 21st. I am on phase 3, pureed food. I lost roughly about 40 pounds. I have started walking do I'm hoping that will help me shed some pounds.

We all stall. It is part of the process. There is even a whole subforum on this site related to stalls.

I will check the Embrace the Stall, thank you @@Inner Surfer Girl

This is why I don't weigh myself every day, sometimes not every week either.

Yes, it is frustrating @@tony031469

Goodluck to us all, and I will now, with baby steps Embrace the Stall ......

Your weight may be at a stall but you also can be losing inches an achieving little goals.

@@Lisa_85,

I needed to be reminded of that
