HELP! Has anyone else come to a stall yet?

I'm 11 days post op and as of Thursday, I've come to a complete stall in weight loss. I've lost 19 pounds which is probably all my body can take right now, but I just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem. Thanks Luchianna

Hi, I think that you are doing great. I had my surgery on 8/23 and I have lost 20 lbs. Be patient. It will come. I have stopped taking blood pressure meds and no swelling in my feet. Just for that weight I am so proud that it is gone. I thank God for that and for my surgeon. I use to have a stuffy nose and sneeze like crazy every morning. All that is gone. I can even breathe from my nose again. That 20 lb loss did all that. Just a little insight. Stay Blessed!

Hello. I've gone through the same thing...as a matter of fact, I stopped weighing daily b/c I don't want to become discouraged. I was banded 8/15 & have lost 30.5 lbs as of today. The loss has slowed to about 1.5 lbs per week...and I walk on the treadmill everyday...I was hoping for more like 4 lbs a week. I'm going for my first fill 9/11. maybe that will make a difference. donna

I had surgery on 8/1/07 and I'm now at a standstill too. I have lost 35-40 pounds (my scales differ so much), and I feel like I haven't lost anything in a week and a half. I'm upping my water, trying to do more exercise, and weighing my food........hopefully this will pass............Hang in there...........

Thanks for the help, it does shine some light on this long road ahead of me. God Bless everyone and Good luck!

Yes... it happened to me too. I'm a little more than 3 weeks out and I went for days and days and the scale didn't budge. I DID however notice in my clothes that I was losing. So that scale doesn't always tell the truth. Our weight shifts and it often just doesn't show up in how much we weigh but you ARE losing and it WILL come off, no doubt about it. Hang in there! All of a sudden you'll see those numbers move!

YUPE count me in...I weighed the exact same for week & 1/2. I upped protein intake & water (HARD to say the least) but I jump started weight lose again . Only lost two lbs, but i take it. I think it is the body's way of dealing. Stop weighing daily, I had too or I would have went crazy.

Your right, I think I'm going to take my scale and put it away for about a week. It is so frustrating when you look at that scale and its reading the same things. Thanks

Thanks, that really helps!

I had my RNY on 8/27. I lost 12 lbs. at my first post-op visit and the scale hasn't moved since. My pants are getting bigger by the day, but that darn scale just won't budge! My nurse at the bariatric center warned me that week 2 is notoriously a slow week and not to expect much. I was hoping I would be the exception. Guess not. Hang in there!
