Week 1 stall

[poppys 4]

I was sleeved on the 10th October, have recovered well and am now on full liquids. In the past 8 days since coming home from hospital i have lost no weight whatsoever (preop and in hospital i have lost 9kg, (22lb) starting weight 99kg (218lb)). I know stalls are to be expected but week 1 and 2? The clinic says i may just be a slow looser which freaks me out! Has anyone had this happen then had decent weight loss after?

Relax and follow your surgeons plan. You will have more stalls. Focus on something' else besides the scale.

Totally common. In your recovery, Water is crucial and your body holds onto it. Part of the process of fat cells shrinking is that they absorb and hold onto water, before releasing it with part of the contents of the cell for waste. My advice to you is, stay off the scale for a month. If the scale is a source of discouragement to you, avoid it. Follow your plan, do what you know you're supposed to do, and the weight is going to come off. If you weigh once a month, there won't be much to be unhappy about, I assure you. The weight will be coming off.

I gained a lb. Lol. I'm not worried because they pumped me so full of fluids and the anesthesia slows everything down. I'm excited to see what I look like 6 months from now. But I'm taking it one day at a time. Wishing you the best !

You haven't had time for a stall! You are still recovering from major surgery, are swollen, and may still be full of fluids.

Just follow your program, focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, and stay off the scale!
