Stalled??



Recommended Posts

I have a question. I was banded on 12/21. To date i have lost about 42lbs. I can tell that my clothes are getting bigger and bigger each week, but I have not lost much weight over the last month. Maybe 4 lbs at the most. My body is getting smaller but the weight isn't coming off. Seems Odd!

I have read through the posts and expected the stall in weight loss. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I kinda went through the same thing at about the same time frame after surgery. Just keep doing the right thing, and it will start moving again .. . I HATE waiting .. . I want to see results every day lol Hang in there . . you're doing GREAT!

I kinda hit that same plateau, but was able to get a small fill and get things moving again. I dropped about 30 lbs in the first 3 weeks and then nothing for a few weeks. Happy to say the scale is moving again!

I'm stuck for sure, been messing around with the same 4 lbs for over a month. I did get my 2nd fill Monday, and with the liquid/soft foods diet I'm down another 7 lbs, but who knows how much of that will stick once I go back to solid foods. I know that I need to up my exercise, and I really need to start journaling what I'm eating every day and make changes as I find them. I am eating way less then pre-surgery, but I think my stall is due to things I need to change, combined with my body freaking out. I "feel" I'm losing inches, but unfortunately I didnt measure myself before surgery, so other then some clothing items being a bit looser, I dont have the actual numbers to back it up.

Hang in there!

when i find a week where i hit a plateau i increase my calories from 1000 to 1200 for a couple of days then i go back down to 1000 calories It seems like it gives the body a shock and says start losing again. and it usually works. ive only hit one plateau so far since being banded on 12-12-07. and if i feel im eating more than i should i just ask for a fill . ive had 2 fills so far since banding and right now its working for me im down 58 pounds so far so i hope it keeps going this well. hope things look up for you guys!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
