I am in the same boat...three week stall....I have lost 36 pounds all togher and 23lbs since surgery! I am still not comfortable eating tuna, chicken, or any meats yet but doing well on chicken salad, tuna salad, and beans. Egg salad sounds good, will have to try that as well. I have not been able to get all of my protein in so I ordered some liquid protein since i have trouble with trying to eat and get enough in. Good luck!

HOW MUCH WEIGHT HAVE U GUYS LOST SINCE SURGERY?
akreese02 replied to jackiemc1987's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Surgery was 3/24. I weighed 230 before pre-op liquid diet (only 2 days). Currently weigh 211 but I haven't lost in over a week due to the three week stall;) -
WHAT am I doing wrong ?
catwoman7 replied to Arthur Belly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
do a search on the three-week stall on this site. Someone did one the other day and posted the results - there were like 17,000 posts on it. Happens to almost everyone. Just stick to your plan and it will break. Could take up to two or three weeks, but it WILL break as long as you stick to your plan. -
feb 2013 sleevers weigh in
hvsg replied to kathyhalls's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think this is the dreaded three week stall. I just try to remember that my body need this time to adjust, it helps me not to fixate on the scale. Trying to up my water, and I walk 40-60 mins a day. So far I had to loose 10lbs. pre-op, lost 15 on liquid pre-op, and 19 since surgery on 2/24. The scale has been stalled for a while now, but I have never lost 44lbs this quickly. -
Checking in....still having no issues at all from surgery which is a blessing. I had the dreaded three week stall but it has finally broke and the scale dropped 6 pounds since then. Whew. I am down 21 pounds since surgery and 44 pounds over all. I am so glad I did this and only wish I had done it sooner.

I am beginning the fourth week of my three week stall. I am six weeks post op, and while I know the stall will eventually break, it is really discouraging while it's going on. It's helpful to read about other people's experiences, and to know I'm not doing anything wrong - it's my body fighting back....I mean, adjusting. 🙂

Stalls are extremely common & a natural & expected part of the weight loss process. The first usually occurs around the third week (hence the name the three week stall) but it can occur before or after that mark. They can last 1-3 weeks. They have nothing to do with you possibly failing. Think of them as your body trying to play catch up & get used to all the changes. It’s the equivalent of your body closing the front door & pulling the covers over it’s head much like we feel like doing when life gets stressful for us. Oh & yes, I did say first stall. You may experience a couple as you’re losing. Don’t be too perturbed if you’re not meeting all your fluid & protein goals every single day expesically in the beginning. As long as you’re making a concentrated effort & are close you’re okay. It does get easier when you’re eating solid foods & able to eat a little more. If I have a day when I’m lower, I try to be a bit higher than I need the next day & I’m almost three years out. And the constipation may continue until you’re close to or in maintenance & eating a much broader diet & eating more. At the moment your consuming very little food so you don’t have a lot to excrete. Not going every day is to be expected. Add a fibre supplement like Benefibre that doesn’t swell in your tummy. Add some vegetables & whole or multi grains to your diet as soon as you’re able. And keep on top of the constipation to avoid compaction & discomfort (pain) when you finally go. I took a stool softener if I had three days without movement.

When I hit my three week stall I thought to myself that this wasn't going to work but I've lost like 20lbs since then. It works I you work it.

GREAT NEW SINGLE LOCATION FOR "STALL TALK!"
vegasvirgo32 replied to LivingFree!'s topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hello everyone . I am going through the three week stall and it is the puts. My surgery was on June 11th this year and so far I've lost 20 lbs so far. Now I'm non my fourth week and I hope it gets better. I'm still taking my vitamins and calcium . I'm also in taking my protein shakes, at least 40-50 grams. Since I've been back to work, it's really hard to find a eating balance schedule, but I do the best I can. I need to know is will the stalling pass soon? Please help!!! -
Search for " three week stall" , you"ll find some great information out there. It is NORMAL and is usually followed by a good loss. It just goes to show that it is not just as simple as calories in vs calories burned. Our bodies are complicated machines.

A stall is super common a few weeks after surgery. It is so common that it is referred to as the "Three Week Stall" , your stall just hit a little early. It can be frustrating, but if you keep getting in your Protein and fluids the loss will resume!

An English Sleever's Journey
marywithoutsound replied to marywithoutsound's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
One week post op so I jumped on the scales out of curiosity...from a high of around 238lb before I began my pre-op, I am down to 212lb today. I know a lot of that will be water weigh and I am heading towards my three week stall, but I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself! -
I lost a bunch of weight quickly for the first three weeks, then hit the three week stall everyone talks about on this forum. Stayed stalled for a week or two, then the weight loss started again. Now the weight loss is less dramatic if you look at it day by day (0.2 lbs here, 0.6 here, etc) but it helps to look at it week by week. For example I thought last week was pretty slow weight loss wise, but then I looked at my weekly view on MFP and realized I'd actually lost four and a half pounds in a week. I would have killed for that a few months ago!

May sleevers results so far!
jessicar13 replied to lexi6510's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've been on a three week stall. It's weird because it started right when I started seriously working out and not just walking. I am going to track my food this week and keep working out. I am sure it will eventually break. -
You're in the midst of the traditional if dreaded 'three week stall'. Most of us experience this. Keep to the plan and this shall pass. LIke it's been said above, measure yourself weekly. Even when we're not losing pounds we typically lose inches.

I'm afraid I might be at that 3 week stall
feedyoureye replied to AChristian's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Relax girlfriend! I was sleeved two days before you and starting weight quite a bit more (247) and right in line with your loss. I think we are doing great! Just let the sleeve do the work, stick to the plan and it will keep coming off. I have had some stall time too, 5 days at one weight, lost a pound and on two days at the next weight... If I was weighing every two weeks I'm sure I would never notice I was in a stall ... I have been measuring now and then too, and have continued to lose inches... have you done this? I have decided to celebrate the three week stall! It just shows we are on the same path as all these nice folks that are losing a bunch of weight with the sleeve. PS my starting weight was two days before surgery, when I started a liquid diet for two days, so really I probably lost about the same as you... -
how long is the 3 week stall?
ellemarie replied to Sassygirl06's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At week three I had a three week stall. Then last week (week 12) I started another stall so far nothing is dropping. . My daughter and I did basically the same she is in the same stall as I am, her first one lasted 2 1/2 weeks and this one started a few days before mine. We both gained two lbs, we don' t like it but know it is temporary. -
Switching to semi-solids can cause the body to adjust, give it time. Just be cautious and follow the macros - protein grams and liquids. Sometimes constipation goes along with changing from liquids/soft to solids. Up the liquids to 100 oz if you can - and by that I mean half that as just water. There is the 'dreaded three week stall' that happens somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks out, it is just a reset so don't get worried. You are doing great. Weight loss is not linear and not constant.

February 2019 weight loss buds
Greenstar replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
dont look at the scale every day, its really bad and can be discouraging. i learned this when i got my three week stall. i know i average about 1.5 pounds loss a day now. calories are nothing to worry about if you follow what you are supposed to eat. 3 oz worth of protein 4 times a day so i can meet the 60 grams of protein. main diet is skinless and boneless chicken breast, low fat lean ground turkey, and low sodium beans. -
I Propose We Start A Thread For June Sleevers That.....
Janedeaux3 replied to blondeej's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not loving the three week stall..., but I'm okay. Met with my dietician this week and she suggested that I put the scale away till Monday, then weigh once weekly. I can probably make it to Monday, but I don't know about the once a week. Maybe I can compromise w twice weekly? IDK.... I return to work next week and am waiting until then to try on my work clothes. Hoping I'll "feel" my weight loss. I figured feeling it will be better than just a number. Although I admit I do love seeing the numbers when it's descending!!! -
Could my period be causing weight gain

The three week stall is very very real. Look into it. Your period can cause some fluctuation too -
Could my period be causing weight gain
huskergirl1972 replied to chewbug26's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the very same thing happen, lost 25 lbs in first two weeks. Week three I started soft foods and had no change in weight for a full week. Period started, lasted for a week and finally now at week six weight loss has started again. Just be patient...seems the two/three week stall is common and then the PMS weight adds to it.

Why don't I feel like I am going to be one
Bufflehead replied to cbruce125's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You are experiencing the three week stall. Virtually everyone experiences this, including everyone who got to their goal weight. Don't believe me? Use the forum search function and search for "three week stall." Or just use Google and search for VSG three week stall. You aren't doing anything wrong, your body is not destined to be obese forever. Keep your chin up and keep working your program. I promise you, the weight will start coming off again.
