Video Blog – Weight Stalls
Stalls after weight loss surgery are the one of the most common reasons post-op patients email me! They are very common in the 2 week to 10 week time frame but can happen at anytime. The video linked above shares a few tips and members are able to connect with me on Baritastic and request a food journal review.

Due to COVID-19 outbreaks at some large meat processing plants, we may see less options in the meat department. This does not mean a shortage in the food itself but that there may be less choices as workforce becomes impacted.

Are you a success story but haven’t seen it that way?
I am one month post op gastric sleeve an for almost 2 weeks havent lost any weight. I am also weak and have bouts of diarrhea. Help!!
Hi Linda! I will reply in email as well but for the weakness and diarrhea I would reach out to your bariatric program! You want to be very cautious of any symptoms of dehdration especially at 4 weeks out. Stalls are VERY common at this point in the game so I would also encourage you not to fret! Stay the course and know that you will see and feel changes even if the scale is weird about it! Here is a video about weight stalls after surgery. https://www.bariatricfoodcoach.com/weight-stalls-after-bariatric-surgery-video/
