Hello all today I'm 4 weeks post op and I've already hit a stall I've lost 12-14 lbs(it keeps fluctuating) but it's been like that since post op week 2, has anyone else experienced a stall this early? Also I do fine with with eating/drinking during the day and don't have any cravings what so ever, but once night hits im feel like I'm starving and craving everything is this normal? TIA for all the info!

I am 6.5 weeks out and hit a 4 or 5 day stall in week 3. I am losing slowly which is ok with me because I feel good and clothes are getting too big! I hate when I let myself get too hungry so I have begun keeping a Protein Bar, banana, or boiled egg handy. Just having a half of any of those helps. Then I can eat my next meal slowly.

Omg ! I could have written your post ! I'm 4 weeks tomorrow and I haven't lost anymore weight I'm 2 weeks . It is horrifically depressing since I'm working so hard at this and started back to the gym and am working out for more than an hr 3-4 times a week . Eating 60-80 grams of Protein a day .

Eating an average of 800 calories a day or less . I do have trouble getting all the Water in but really ... A stall for 2 weeks ????

Wow crazy we're experiencing the exact same thing, I'm eating the same amount of Protein per day as you and getting the same amount of calories, I'm not getting all the Water in but I try to at least get 40-50 oz in and I'm walking at least 1.25-1.5 miles everyday and still nothing, I have my one month post op tomorrow so I'm hoping to get releases so I can hit the gym and add in some weight lifting and such in hopes that that'll help! Glad to know I'm not alone, sounds like we got our surgeries around the same time, we should keep in touch and follow each others progress

I'm 4 weeks as well.

Here's a different perspective. I was traveling without a scale from 2.5 - almost 4 weeks post op so I didn't weigh myself every day in that period.

When I got home- I had lost. But I have no idea if I stalled or not for a week.

So I would say stay off the scale! But much easier said then done. Now that I'm home I'm on the scale 2x/ day ;-) and I haven't lost! Haha.

I am 4 weeks today and I stalled at week 2. Didn't lose till last week actually so I guess not a true stall. My body was just doing some major work, look up "embrace the stall" while your not losing weight your body is losing inches. Get a tape measure for the no weight loss times. Just stuff I have read on here and it does help to know that even though the scale isn't moving your body is still hard at work.

Lol !! Mrs Snipes - I was just thinking to myself today , after another day of no loss, that I should call my husband and have him hide the scale before I get home ! Let's support each other in a no weigh in for a week ! At least We won't start out each day feeling defeated when we know we're doing the right things

I read " embrace the stall " which was really helpful ! I need to print it out and hang it up . Along with my mantra :

More Water ... More Protein

I'm so down, that's a great idea, definitely need to start the day more positively! I just told my husband once I go to bed in a minute to take the scale and hide it until next Monday, and I need to read that do I just google it or where can I find it?

I will be 4 weeks post op Friday and I lost most of my weight the first two weeks after surgery and now nothing I'm not too disappointed because I have to remind myself it's only 4 weeks I have so much more time to go and a lot of people stall but it helps to know the weight is gonna come off even with surgery weight loss doesn't happen over night

That's good to hear I'm glad it moved for you, I'm taking the same advice and had my husband hide the scale and I'm just going to focus on eating well ,getting my liquids, and exercising and I will weigh in once I'm 6 weeks post op which is next Monday that'll have been 2 weeks of no weigh ins so I'm hoping the scale will be down a few pounds by then.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
