So I'm in the middle of week 4 post op and I seem to have hit a stall for the past 4-5 days. My weight bounces around the same 2-3lbs which is a solid BM and some Water weight by my guessing. I'm not too worried as I keep reading stalls are part of this. I moved into purée and since then my loss has drastically slowed to this stall. Not sure if I should blame it on that or not.

But has anyone experience this this early?

I had a stall in week three. Gained and lost a handful of ounces over and over for a solid 7 days. I'm in week four now and my weight is moving down again. My stall coincided with starting soft Proteins, and I do believe that my body was just adjusting to the change. It is totally normal this early! You will get through it!

Oh yeah. Mine started at week three and lasted 11 or 12 days. Be sure and take your measurements, because as most people have mentioned, I kept losing "volume." Savor the moment every time you put on a shirt that used to be tight and now is not. At six weeks now, I am right on target for weight loss, and I am realizing it is OK to think in terms of months, not days. Hang in there.

I am at week 5 and have been stalled since week 4. Hopefully now that I am on regular food it will pick up.

      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.
