You are simply experiencing a stall. Stick to your plan. I have had them nearly every 3 weeks. Frustrating, but they pass. Mine last 7-10 days typically

totally normal. I felt obsessed with daily numbers on the scale. It will come off! I am now 2 mos out and down 43lbs from my preop weight. I stalled on day 10 for about a week. It also seems like you are not losing, but if you track your weight daily you start to see pattern. Mine went like this:

12/12 231

12/16 225

12/18 221

12/21 220

12/24 217

12/26 215

1/2 214

1/4 212

1/11 211

1/14 209

1/15 208

1/18 206

1/19 205

1/24 204

1/26 200

2/1 198

2/4 196

2/11 194

2/12 193

2/16 192!

The days I didn't list there was no weight loss, so you can see, it starts and stops. Some days I swear I am going to get on the scale and see a 1 or 2 pound loss and it stays the same. Other days, not expecting it, I will lose 2! It averages out to 2-3 lbs per week which is healthy rate of loss.

Good luck!

You lost 20 lbs in 10 days!!!!!! That's a lot of weight loss in a short period of time. This weight didn't come on over night and it won't fall off over night. You have to be patient and let the process work for you. I am 3.5 months post op and I've probably had 6 or 7 stalls. Just keep working the program and you will lose weight. Stay off the scales and just measure how you are physically feeling and how your clothes are getting looser.

It is normal, I felt the same. Mine came off slowly but surely and now over 2 years out i wouldn't have it any other way. I am still losing which I do not want to but I plan to start weight training to build muscle. You will be alright, keep doing what you are supposed to and be patient. It is coming off.

Your poor tummy is healing and is still traumatized. The first couple of months will be all over the place as the healing process occurs. Your journey is just starting you'll experience stalls and periods of time where you're losing sizes but no scale loss - try not to stress while it's happening and you'll have a much better time! You sound like you're right on track and experiencing a normal first month!

Thank you so much. At times its frustrating but the big step is done and now I have to be patient and just continue with the plan. [emoji3]



Stalls are an all-too-frequent part of this process. If you follow your plan, the weight will come off.

Hey guys I need some help I have had dumping for 3 days now I haven't eaten anything what's wrong

You would be better off starting your own thread asking that question rather than posting it randomly in a thread that has nothing to do with dumping.

But since I am here, I can say that you are not dumping. If you truly have not eaten in anything in that time it is not possible to experience dumping syndrome. More than likely you are hypoglycemic and/or dehydrated and feel awful because of that. If you are pre-op like your profile says, it is even more unlikely that you are experiencing dumping syndrome.
