Have you tried walking an additional 10-15 min a day? From what I read it goes a long way.

My surgery was 7/11 and I hit a stall at 2 weeks post op and have only lost 14lbs my start weight was 200lbs so a little on the smaller side, I didn't dry my expectations to high but I did expect to see a few lbs loss per week! It was suggested to me to measure myself to see if I'm loosing inches instead of bothering with the scale and driving myself mad, so I had my husband hide the scale and I will not get on it for 2 weeks, I'm just going to focus on getting in my protein/fluids and work out and pray for a loss in 2 weeks! Don't be discouraged good luck

[emoji22] You'll need to increase fluids - and avoid sodium. Keep an eye your BP too.

Sitting in a stall as well! I was 7/27. Trying to make sure to get my Water and Protein in. Apparently it's totally normal and keep reminding myself that (whether it's working or not is a different story!)

When I hit my first stall, I started my 10,000 steps a day and it moved the scale again. I am now an official Mall walker...come rain or shine.

The first stall lasted 5 weeks. I was beyond frustrated even though everyone in here suggested I be patient. The second one lasted a week and because my blender broke and I stopped taking my Protein. Three days after I started taking my Protein again, I started losing again.

I can and I will.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
