Hello all, I am a Newbie.

Before my surgery i weighed 267 and surgery was May 12 and i currently weigh 247 and for 1 1/2 weeks ,I have not lost anything. I have maintained 247-246.6

Is this normal?, I have read about the stretching of the pouch, and not chewing your food as fast and drinking Water at the same time. And since i have been reading so much about it ,im scared i will stretch my pouch.

Now when i was loosing a pound a day i was not really eating, just like 3 table spoons of Jello and 3 sips of broth if that and water.

I have now incorporated cottage cheese, hummus here and there and what ever i cook like maybe 4 Table spoons of..

Not sure if i need to stick with just Protein for the whole month or what. Im not so quite sure to know when im getting full. I know when i eat and i swallow at time it hurts, i barf sometime water or soy milk if its like 20 mins after i eat.

Im dreading to call the Dr. But i think i should.

Did anyone else have a stand still, i do exercise like run up the bleachers.

Any help will be appreciated,only those that have had the surgery.

You're in the very well known and discussed three week stall. It happens all the time, and there are literally hundreds of threads just on this forum alone about how a person is panicking since their weight loss has stopped.

Stalls will happen ALL THE TIME over the next year for everyone that is losing weight. No way to tell how long they will last, or how often they will happen, but as long as you are sticking to your doctor's guidelines for food, Protein, and Water intake and doing some gentle activity (ramping up to real exercise as soon as you are cleared to do so), the stalls eventually break and you'll be just fine.

Stalls are the body's way of taking a breather and ramping up for the next round of weight loss. No one loses weight steady; it's always going to be lose some... stall for a week. Lose some more; stall for three weeks... rinse and repeat.

And no, you can't stretch your pouch or sleeve out from eating and drinking foods you're supposed to be eating/drinking. Even if you overate, you'd likely just throw up. The stretchy part of your stomach is gone if you had the sleeve surgery. Your stomach will eventually relax once the swelling has gone down and by a year out, it might hold slightly more volume than at 3 months, but it won't grow back or otherwise stretch.

As you already saw in my post, it will happen. My one and only this far lasted a total of 4 weeks. Now don't let that freak you out.

Everyone is different.

But I did see the 5 pound loss last Wednesday, and here I am just shy of a week later and I'm down another 4.

You will start loosing again....no worries.

Thanks Ladies. I guess i was used to loosing a ppund a day..but i love my Water, just seems like i feel like i might eat to much chicken breast or cottage cheese.. i know sounds weird. But i exercising every other day for 1 1/2hr at the park on the bleachers or at the beach. Gastro Bypass surgery i had

I was told it is completely normal. I was told to only weigh myself once a week and stop focusing in the number. But if I stall for three weeks in a roll, my NUT said to call them and we can discuss changing things up

It is normal but when you are going through it yourself you worry. Especially when it lasted 4 weeks like mine did.

One thing I know now that I didn't prior is to take measurements.

You might not see lower numbers on the scale, but you could be loosing inches. That's a plus too!!

Good luck.

Hiya i was sleeved a few days before you. Ive been in a stall too, frustrating isnt it? Take a deep breath though, you just need to follow your surgeons plan. I am allowed a 1/4 cup at max per meal. So i always stop then even if i dont feel full, cos i dont wanna hurt whats healing.

I am also measuring my waist line. I noticed today that while ive only lost 0.3kg i have lost 4 cms off my waist!!! This was a great motivator cos i know changes are happening to me
