Surgery date was August 25th ...I haven't been losing weight since third week post op till now.. almost a span of two weeks ! How long does stall last? I'm just having the shake & trying to keep calories restricted

It lasts as long as it feels like lasting. Sorry I can't give you more info that that, but for everyone it's different and the reasons why you're stalling can differ from the reasons others are stalling.

I was sleeved august 22nd, I lost 13 pounds pre surgery and a total of 33, a little disappointed I am huge and starting weight was 326 pounds! I'm losing very slow but I'm feeling good just starting to be able to eat more and get my Water down and also enjoying working out, I was quite down for a bit but amazing how much better you feel when exercising

We are on about the same course here. My surgery was August 21. Started out at 299, lost 42 before surgery and 20 since. Second post-op appointment will be this morning so I expect I will then be allowed to go in the pool for arthritis exercises. I'm doing fine on Protein and Fluid intake but I know I need to increase exercise, and maybe I will lose more quickly then. I am getting back into clothing I haven't been able to get into for years, and I am loving that. Surgeon suggested 130-140 for goal weight. I think even 150 might feel just about right. Using 150 for the goal, I am already a little over 40% there, which I find encouraging.

I too am in the same boat. Sleeved 8/15

pre surgery weight was 356.6 (I'm 5'3") I lost about 19 before surgery and 56 total now. Doing ok with Protein but definitely not with Water. Not sure why it's such a struggle for me. Feeling better so hopefully ill increase my activity levels and see if that keeps me moving along. Went through a stall already, don't want another one!

Sleeved August 16. Down about 36 pounds.

I stalled for almost four weeks. I wanted to cry and I was really pissed. But it finally broke.

Sooooo, is anyone else going through this? It seems like every third day I am exhausted-like don't want to get out of bed can't move exhausted. And like every three or four days I'm starving. Eating like every two or three hours. And then every other day I feel good, not hungry too often, and have energy. Sooooo weird!!

A friend of mine actually saw a picture of me and said that my face is looking thinner. I dunno how accurate that is, but here's the picture I took:

for me im on this rollercoaster. i lose 1-3#s then nothing for week to 10 days its crazy. im a numbers person and i depend on the scale for progress but im trying to wrap my mind around other progress signs like clothes fitting differently, stamina, and comments from others. its hard.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
