Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone hit a weight loss stall early on after surgery. I hit a stall after my 2 week full liquid once I started purée. I track my intake and I know I'm not eating much. I get my Protein and pretty much most of my Water. The scale hasn't moved in 8 days and I am trying not to get discouraged but it is really hard. Thanks

My first stall was at 3 weeks and it lasted for 3 weeks. Perfectly normal. I'm now 10 weeks post op and down 70 pounds. I think I may have hit another stall but will know tomorrow. Stalls...plateaus whatever you want to call them are normal and you will probably hit several on the journey. Just your bodies way of adjusting to the change it's going through. Good luck.

Yes, I did hit a big stall after I started soft foods and didnt lose weight for almost 3 weeks. Very frustrating! It picked back up again and I am back to losing around 5 lbs per week. I am walking a lot. Don't worry, you'll get there!

I increased my exercise and I started tracking my calorie intake in addition to Protein. My NUT told me a plateau early on is normal and not to worry, your body is still adjusting. I was struggling getting my minimum 60g of protein in because the Protein Shakes make me gag now. She recommended Atkins lift protein drinks....clear fruit flavored with 20g per 16.9oz bottle.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
