Let's talk about stalls...



Recommended Posts

My first stall came right at the beginning of my 3 week post op mark. It lasted for two whole weeks.

I am almost 4 months post op now and I've had a few stalls since then, most only lasting about a week at a time. Most of the time though, I am losing 2-4 pounds per week.

Same here - around 3-4 week mark for 2-3 weeks if i remember correctly - many stalls along the way - even when i did the same activity and ate the same foods. My surgery was March 2016 and i steadily lost until around october 2016 - where it has taken me october til now (~5 months) to get down 10 pounds - going up and down 2-4 pounds over and over again. I call that a protracted stall - but i am 1 pound from goal or there abouts -

stalls will happen - and it is easy to obsess - but save yourself the worry - if you are eating what you are supposed to or close to it - maybe lay of the weighing for a week or two - the weight will go

3 week stall lasted 20 days. Had another 3 week stall last month and two week stall at 8 months out. Every time I can't help but wonder if this is the most I will loose. It's a mind game. I just continue doing my best and switching things up a bit until the scale moves again.

In my 1st one now..5 weeks it started...scale hasn't moved for 10 days. I can't help but be paranoid that its because I can eat meat etc....thats when it started. Did you vets just carry on or do something to jump start it again?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
