Someone please tell me you have had similar results.I lost 10 pounds on the Pre-op diet. And lost another 13 pounds on the first 10 days after surgery. That was 7 days ago. The scale has not moved downward at all since then! Doc said to expect a stall between 3-5 week. So I was. But not after only 10 days! Feeling very angsty and frustrated this morning. The internal voice is not using PG language this morning. How long do stalls last?

You're still healing.. Give yourself a break!! You just started the 3 week stall a bit early. Don't worry about it. It will break. Just stay on plan.

Exact same weight loss and story here. Trying to be patient while I get all my Protein & Water but find it amazing as I'm having a hard time reaching 500 calories a day and yet have stalled on week 2.

everyone is different. stalls happen but not on a set schedule. For example - I didn't lose ANYTHING the first 2 weeks post op, nothing. I can't really even call that a stall, more like a delayed start. Right now just focus on healing and following your program and stay off the scale for a while if it is going to upset you that much.

Im going through a stall right now. I am almost 4 weeks out.

I was on all liquids for the first 3 weeks post op and just started having soft foods on Tuesday. Talk about frustrating.

Ready for this thing to break so I can continue my journey.

Thanks, friends.

My husband heard me having words with the scale and came in and asked what was wrong. I told him, in very colorful language- that I am not incredibly proud of, about going 7 days and not moving AT ALL. He looked at me and said "wow, wouldn't that be something if that's all you got out of this." OMG!

Although I know he was joking and my threats to end his life were also in jest. I can't say I didn't have that thought (all this for 23 pound!).

But you'd all support me, right? If I off-ed him, on the evidence of that comment (alone) as motive!

:P

Lol poor guy. I'm having my husband keep the scale locked in his truck for the first 4 weeks. After that bring it out only once a week. I know myself. I will be obsessed with the numbers rather than recovery. I'll find out what I've lost when I've seen the doctor. I only hope I don't do my husband bodily harm for doing as I asked when rational.

Lol. What a great idea. I think I will have my hubby keep our scale in his car until 3 weeks out. My surgeon told our group that you are healed 3 weeks out. I too hope I don't do hubby any bodily harm. Lol

I am 15 days post-op and the scale hasn't moved in 3 days. This morning I gave it the finger and told it that I'm breaking up with it until Monday. In the meantime, I'm focusing on trying to ramp up my walking and maybe try and easy hike. You're not alone - hang in there!

Had mine 9/27 lost 10 lbs pre-op and 13 post op. scale has not moved for a week also. Very frustrating. I know I will continue to lose as I am following the correct diet, but still very frustrating. Everyone is different, hang in there you will lose more. I am not getting on the scale again till middle of next week.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
