1 week, no weight loss!



Recommended Posts

I've been the same weight for an entire week and I'm frustrated! I was just sleeved on 5/31 and including pre-op (2 weeks liquid) I'm down 22 lbs. 15 of those were from the pre-op diet. I'm doing everything by the book so I can't understand why I'm stuck. Anyone have advice?

(I'm a once a week weigher, not daily)

Thanks in advance!

Google "three week stall." This happens to everyone. The best advice is to follow your plan, meet your Protein and Water goals each day, walk when you can, and stay off of the scale for a while. Your body is desperately trying to heal, and weight loss just isn't the top priority right now.

The scale may have not moved but I'm sure your measurements did. I don't believe you stalled at all. 😊

At 11days out you may still have some residual Fluid retention. My abdomen was still swollen around that time. Don't stress about the numbers on the scale for the first month - you're healing from your surgery so who knows what's going on with fluids you may be retaining. I gained 10lbs the first few days after surgery. Focus on meeting your goals and being as active as you can. The results will come.

No one really looses the 1st week, some even gain , You should do a little research, The 1st 5-6 weeks is pretty slow ...then things will start happening

They said the same thing to me and I was like what! But congrats on the weight loss. I will just keep drinking my Water, eating my bland foods, and walking. Hopefully I can lose at least another 20 by my wedding in October. Staying optimistic at this point!

Thank you !

BTW, I just found this old article from a previous thread that sheds some light on the stall.

I'm almost 4 weeks out... have only lost about 13lbs since surgery, and have been stalled for a week now... I was getting frustrated with the scale because it's not moving UNTIL yesterday when I went to Target... I decided to try on an XL and was like yeah right... I was able to get it in although I am definitely not ready to buy any XL shirts yet lol. I thought I was doing something wrong because I can still fit my clothes from before surgery (they are loose but not big enough to stop wearing) and I haven't lost much weight but after trying on that XL and also realizing that I'm probably a solid XXL in juniors instead of a 3x-4x in plus size my mindset is changed completely. I was beyond happy at Target trying on clothes and didn't care about the scale not moving (and could give two fucks at this point) because even though the scale isn't moving those inches are coming off and that's progress too... I bet even though the scale isn't moving (and it will again) you're losing inches. I've learned during this stall (my first but I'm sure here will be many more) to focus on the other weight loss positives and not the scale... it has also helped me break up with my scale and not rely on it so much. Hang in there I'm sure you're doing amazing!!!

Love this. I realized I wasn't getting in enough Water. It gets warm, I switch out the bottles. I ended up with so many partial bottles of water. Switched to my big cold tumbler so I could keep a more accurate count. Lost two lbs after not moving for a few days!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
