Are Frequent Stalls Normal???



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks out from surgery and I am starting to realize that I will lose weight, then stall, then lose weight, then stall, etc. etc. Is stalling constantly just a normal part of this process???

I had surgery June 13. I stalled from June 30-July 14. Then from July 21-whenever this second stall finally breaks. 😂

It’s extremely frustrating. I know several people who have success breaking stalls by essentially eating crap for a day then getting back on track. That also worked for me during my weight loss attempt prior to surgery. But I’m not really interested in introducing crap this early, even if it’s just to see if it breaks the stall.

Guess I’ll just ride this one out like the first one.

All this is to say you’re not alone. Frequent, early stalls are happening to me too.

I’m 7 months out and have stalled for the last 3 months. Started 275 currently 198. Lost majority of my weight the first 3 months now I’m stuck here and am barely starting to work out to lose what left. My goal weight is 175 so I’m pretty close

I’ll be 9 months out next week. Stalls seem to be fairly normal. My weight loss looks a lot like sillykitty’s. I’m currently in a nearly month long stall of bouncing between 146.4 and 148.8. It’s driving me crazy but I know it’s temporary. I’ve been amping up my workouts and changing my cardio in an attempt to break it. Fingers crossed!

Stalls are hella frustrating but remember to look at the big picture and not focus on the day to day. I know it’s hard to remember when you’re in the mist of it but keep your chin up.

I always stall. My current trend is drop 3-5lbs over 3 days, stall for 5-7 days, drop 2-3lbs over 3 days, then stall for 7-10days, then repeat!

      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!

      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!!
