Sounds like you may be on your first stall. I think they normally happen around 3-4 weeks out. Keep doing what you are doing. The weight will stop dropping again.

I kinda never got over my first stall . Been 5 months and ir sucks. Last week I lost 2 pounds but that’s extra 1.5 hours at the gym everyday ... what’s the point of surgery if I’ve to slog harder than before ? One of the doc has asked me to check for Cushing after a month

You’ve got your first stall. Stall is just another word for plateau.

You will have many stalls/plateaus. While your body is not losing pounds at the moment, it IS losing inches. This is rule of thumb for everybody on this journey.

My first stall happened about a month into it, it last three or so weeks. I’ve had about four since, (give or take) with one almost an entire month before suddenly dropping five pounds in two days.

You may even gain a pound or two once in a while through your journey, I find for me is normal. If that happens I will double check my ounces in food I had prior to that. I find most times it’s just Water retention or Constipation.

You will want to lose 1-2 pounds a week. You will find that some weeks you lose nothing, others you drop weight fast. Weighing everyday can help you notice patterns in your weight loss journey.

Whether the amount of weight you lost is normal or not is difficult and moot at best. I only say that because bigger people shed more weight quicker than smaller ones do.

You are losing weight well and doing fantastic. Just continue to eat healthy as well as exercise.

One other thing, some bariatric patients will stall for a few months. Remember: during a long stall, you are losing inches too.

      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.

        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.

      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!
