I'm just wondering if anybody else is going thru this or have been thru it.

I had my op on 6th may 2016.....I dropped from 19 stone 2 pound to 17 stone 11 pounds in 2 weeks.......I'm now 18 stone and the weight isn't moving.....I fluctuate from 17.12 to 18.1......I paid privately for my surgery after selling my house, and I'm beginning to think that this has been a complete waste of money as have all the fad diets I've been on......am I just one of those people who just can't lose the weight??

a lot of people go through that exact same thing - around the same time and wonder if they will be the one person it doesn't work for.

so, just stick with your program, trust your body and it will move again. @@Babbs has posted an excellent explanation of this on other threads, and recently too if you want a more science-y explanation of the "why"

Nicki we had surgery the same day. I had a stall for about 2.5 weeks and it is just moving now. Just keep on track it will move again. Dont forget to keep up the exercise and fluids

I had a stall right around the same time. My body adjusted and I'm back to losing for the past week or so. I was at 7 weeks yesterday. Just keep doing what you are doing!

I stalled after 1 week and losing 14

Pounds.. About to weigh myself today and I know I'll still be in the stall! Everyone goes through it, it's like the initiation stress test haha. You think you're the only one and you'll stay fat forever.. Just remember "this too shall pass"

I came on to post about the same thing and saw your post first. I had surgery 4/29. I'll be 6 weeks post-op tomorrow. Lost 35 pounds total and have been on a 2 week stall even though I increased my walking from 5,000 steps to 10,000-14,000 a day. I also increased my Protein and changed around my eating. Nothing is working! I was thinking just like you is this a waste. I'm too freaking out but will listen to everyone and pray this will pass and I will start losing again.

Be careful.. Working out more then you're eating could lead to problems and could be why you're not losing? Strange I know.

I feel like I could have written this...same deal here. Sleeved 5/23, lost 23 in two weeks....now crickets. I've read about this enough to know its all part of the game... soooo frustrating though. Every time I get on the scale I drop an "F" bomb, lol- its just beyond annoying...I cant wait to push through...

I wanted to reach out to you and see how you're doing--I too was sleeved on 5/23 and I am in a big stall. I lost weight better when I was pre-op! I know it's a whole different ballgame now, though. Hope you are well.

Remember you introduce your body to food again and it on a hold. It will start up again. Be patient

Ok I'm now at around 10weeks post op and finally it's starting to slowly come off again.....I'm now down to 17.4 from the initial 19.2.......I'm not weighing every day now either, I admit I weigh twice a week but I have my 2nd post op appointment with the surgeon next Wednesday. I'll be having my bloods tested too as feeling run down and tired, full of a summer cold I can't seem to shift either. Will keep you posted .... Thanks everybody xx
