Frustrated. I am 11 days post op. I lost 7 the first week and 6 the week of pre op diet. Just weighed myself today and I am at the EXACT same weight (to the 0.2 of a lb) as I was on day 7. I know everyone has stalls but it's super tough to see this early on. I wasn't expecting a huge loss in 4 days but to just see the number at exactly 222.2 really annoyed me.

Is a stall THIS early common?

Please don't lecture me here, I know that stalls happen but I'm feeling very unhappy.

I stalled early too. Every body is different. I do think ppl w lower starting weights lose more slowly. I do think I lost some inches during the time of the stall - my clothes got bigger on me. Stick w your plan. It'll start coming off again, I promise.

Don't stress over it, I stalled and gained a pound even after 2 weeks. Just try and stay motivated and know after a couple days you will again lose the 3lb and 4 lbs.

Frustrated - EXACT same weight

4 days PO

you might be retaining fluids from the IV

your weight hasn't changed yet

but you are not in an official stall

a stall happens when you haven't lost any

weight in at least 3 weeks

don't get ahead of yourself in worry

you'll start loosing weight, in its own time

newbies don't know what to expect immediately PO

re read your post - sounds like you know whats going on

couple days after i was sleeved my mom called me.

she was in a whisper and said, did your underpants fall to

the floor?! (2 days PO)

OP (whether person who had WLS or family/friend) don't know

people will loose at first - then through their journey too

calm down, try not to worry or get frustrated

there will be plenty of time for that later!

good luck

kathy

Stay off the scale!

I had my surgery on October 25. Recovery went well. I am following my surgeon instructions Perfectly but yet I only lost 6 pounds in 10 days and actually gained 1 pound. I am so disappointed and upset also. I don't understand at all. Very frustrating

Starting weight was 249 and then 243+1

My current weight is 244.4

Stay off the scale - it'll drive you crazy! Just stick with the plan - the weight will come off when it wants. You can gain just from Water retention, getting your period, constipation.

Honey i am 12 days post op and havent lost one ounce since surgery. I lost seven on my seven day preop diet. But not a smidge since and didnt eat for first four days because i was so sick after surgery. So what can u do.
