Hunter replied to Madam Reverie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
SW 344 5 10= BMI of 49.4 CW 227.4 BMI of 32.6 I just came out of a 3 week stall that almost caused a nervous break down. Seriously I lost it. I was sure I was done losing. I was heart broken! In the last few days I have dropped 3 pounds so I feel a little better. My goal is 190 which is still overweight according to the BMI chart. My surgery was on August 20. I think I might have just been really lucky the first 7 months the rest might be slow going! And not all men skin tightens my man boobs are now where my belly button should be and my belly button is almost to my......... Well uh....... Sorry ladies it is low lets just put it that way!!!!!! -
Hi everyone! My VSG was done on July 28. I would love to stay connected to people on a similar timeline as well. Is anyone else experiencing hunger? I felt it immediately in recovery in the hospital and it is real stomach growling hunger. I am taking my PPI. I think I’m weighing myself too much (daily) and am at the 3 week stall. Wish you all good luck.

Ugh, the 3 week stall is now extending well into week 4! I've gaining and losing the same 2 pounds since last Thursday 😭 Trying hard to trust the process... Hope everyone is doing well! -
I was sleeved in October 25, 2014. I've only lost 12 lb and have experienced the 3 week stall as well. I am 63 and am a low BMI (31). I'm doing everything right, getting in my Water and Protein, low carbs, and calories are between 500 and 700. I'm exercising too (walking). I guess I'm what you would call a slow loser!

thenewme13 replied to Pink Dragoness's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in the same boat :-( its 6 weeks out lost 27lbs but have gained 2 urrrggggg! Its frustrating! I measure my waist,thigh,breast, belly and nothing has changed. I eat 60-90g of Protein and try to stay below 30g of Carbs drink my water 64oz but nothing happens!!! I've heard if the 3 week stall but not to be stalled for 3 weeks. I know its a process but still gets frustrating not to see results. Can ya'll tell me what your eating if you are 6 weeks postop ? I'm eating soft foods like fish tuna and soft water crackers protein shakes -

Best way to Stop Losing Weight
Berry78 replied to Apple1's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
On the board we see 3 week stalls break ON THEIR OWN all the time. It's when things are staying the same (scale and tape measure) for over a month that I start getting concerned. My personal preference is to call it a stall if it lasts for a month or less and breaks on its own.. more than a month, and it usually needs intervention.. that's a plateau. Keep in mind, if someone only eats 400 calories a day, long term, it's anorexia, and they WILL lose weight. Doesn't mean it is a good idea, but it means that there is no true end to weight loss. (Think of concentration camp victims). The "end" that we talk about is when the new set point is reached and the caloric intake/expenditure aligns. We can control intake, but the body has lots of tricks up its sleeve to modify expenditure. That's why calories in doesn't always seem to equal calories out. -
I stopped weighing myself after 340. During the last two months of my doctor supervised diet I took it super seriously and started walking 1 hour per day 6 days a week and lost 40 pounds. I was 299 pounds when I was sleeved on 10/27/16. I just ended my 3 week stall and am losing again I weigh 266 today. It's absolutely possible. I'm am a 29 year old 5'5 female.

7.14.14Sleever replied to SMED0308's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I need help... I am getting so very frustrated... My dreaded 3 week stall has lasted 31 days. This is getting ridiculous. The scale has been playing with 2 pounds for 31 days... Did I mention I have NOT LOST WEIGHT in 31 days!!! Here is my "typical Day" Breakfast- Protein shake Drink a large Crystal light. ( I add about 28 ounces of water with one of those tiny packets) Morning snack is Yogurt Lunch is a slice of roasted turkey with some mustard, or maybe a bit of cheese. (2-3 bites) afternoon snack is another protein shake DInner is sometimes caned chicken with cheese, or some refried beans with cheese Then evening snack is my Homemade pudding pops... (Sugar free pudding with double protein powder put in popscicle molds) What am I doingwrong!!???!!! -
I just recently broke out of a stall that lasted almost 2 weeks. I found myself wondering if when people spoke of the 3 week stall if they meant that I was going to be stalled for 3 weeks. Ugh! Being stalled is so frustrating. But hang in there, the scale will move again! Just keep rockin that sleeve!

Errrr, I have hit the infamous 3 week stall. It seems way to early to experience this, it is so discouraging. In the back of my mind I am thinking I will be the only one in the world that this won't work for. I am following my diet so I guess I will try to kick up the exercise a bit. Any other suggestions?

I'm 23 days out and I've lost 24 pounds since surgery day. There is a "3 Week Stall" they spoke of at my dr's office and then another drop after that. I'd just encourage you to keep with it. -
Lightweights in the house! Any more people with less to lose/less BMI's?
MumtazG38 replied to MumtazG38's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow...I can't believe my 3 week stall right now!!! I lost the majority of my 16lbs down in the first 2 weeks. Of which I lost like 11lbs in the first week (including pre-op diet loss), then I stalled again, starved myself (even more) to lose about 5 more and it took forever to come off. Then stalled again for the next 2 weeks, and now I've GAINED 3 lbs throwing me back at a loss of 13 lbs......what the hell!!! My calories are consistently 500-590, with 50-70g Protein, and always well under 50g carbs (average of 13-18g, not once above 25g). My fat is also very super clean saturated, and less than it needs to be...but I'm still stuck. And even gained 3 lbs. I mean, I'm 1 month out....what the hell is going on!!! I've half a mind to talk to my doctor directly about this! I am taking prilosec every single day at the recommended dose, and also take liquid antacids before each meal despite the fact that I don't have heartburn, just so that I can shut out all the comments about the whole...oh you're not hungry, its just heartburn thing! lol. I'm still hungry, and the way I can tell is that I get dizzy and lightheaded within 5-8 minutes of the hunger feeling. Yes, I'm eating a lot less often now, and much less food too (I mean flippin' 500-590 cals!!) Today, I'm doing something different and hoping it'll break this gaining/stall cycle...I'm just having Protein shakes (30g) when I get hungry and drinking more than my full 2 litres to see where that takes me. Only 1 solid meal all day, and even that is 77 calories at 11g protein, 2 carbs and 2g sat fat. And if I see anything change (going down that is) on the scale tomorrow morning (even a half decimal point lol) I'm going nuts and knocking out even that 1 solid meal and replacing it with more Water and a protein shake! If this doesn't work, I'm calling my lawyer! -
So today is my two week mark. I am officially down 15 lbs. And sooooooo happy.. i will keep this blog short and sweet. I have been going to the gym at least 3 x per week.. and im gonna kick it up to 4 starting this week, because i am afraid of the dreaded.. 3 week stall.. dun dun dun .. lol Anyways i've been doing zumba and free weights and paying close attention to my legs and arms since its about the only things i can do right now that dont hurt. I recently fell so im a little worried about the damage that i may have done so i am being really careful right now, and i will probably be going to the doctors soon to see if i screwed up anything. keep your fingers crossed for me. to date: starting weight 238.1 day of surgery current weight 224.0 starting pant size 18 current pant size 14-16 depending on brand goal 160

This Week Is Just Not Starting Off Right-- Week 3
andersonlj commented on blackanese25's blog entry in blackanese25's Blog
This is called the 3 week stall. It happend to me also and I gained a couple of pounds and I thought it was because I ate a little more on New Years Eve. I have put the scale away and got back to eating all of my protein, water, taking all of my vitaimins and have continued to go to the gym. Next week when I get the scale out I know that the number will be a good one. Keep up the fight. http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/weight_loss.php/wLHbQ7h -
I did it! Got sleeved yesterday 9/2!
KristenLe replied to #BirdDog's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
@@#BirdDog My plan allows for mashed potatoes too. I wouldn't have them too often - but the amount we eat shouldn't impact weight loss (from my perspective anyway). What you made sounds really good! You're right in time for the 3 week stall - so put the scale away and stick with your plan. Congrats on your success so far - 44 lbs is a great loss! -
Thank you Mdm R.! I appreciate your ability to write about the frustrations we all feel from time to time. I have to say the most maddening posts for me are the ones who, when you try to direct them to an existing post that have tons of feedback on their topic, say "I don't wanna look at previous threads! - I want people to respond to me!" Because that tells me they aren't here to learn, they are only looking for an ego stroke! I hope that Newbies to do read this post of Mdm R's, because atleast if they want to post a 3 week stall post, they might preface it with a "I can see that 3 weeks stalls are common... But I would love to hear from those of you who have experienced it, I just need to hear that this too shall pass" (Note to self: save this post for myself for about July 3rd) I have said it before and I say it again Mdm R for Guv-ner!

No Weight Loss Since Surgery
feedyoureye replied to Anakin Jay's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Some gain a lot of weight from the IVs, My guess is you are holding water weight... make sure you are drinking lots of water, keeping the salt down, and go for protein over carbs. Some low carb juices might be good, celery, cucumber, greens... green tea.... things that get the water moving out of the body. We just can't tell why the body does what it does sometimes... you are doing great, the body is just not ready to let go yet... my 3 week stall (at 2 1/2 weeks) lasted for weeks and then I started to lose again. Do move... tell your body its time to burn some of that fat! Also... measure now if you haven't... you may be losing inches. In fact, I bet you are. Are your pants falling off yet? -
Hello...I was sleeved on July 2nd and I am doing great. I think I have hit the dreaded 3 week stall but it is o.k. I know this will pass and hopefully sooner than later. I still have some slight incision pain from time to time but not anything that I need meds for. I weighed 210 and lost 4 pounds before surgery and now I weigh 192-193 depending on what my body wants to weigh in the morning...

Follow my Gastric Sleeve journey from Day 1 post op!
dreamscometrue replied to dreamscometrue's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Today was my 1-month Post Op check, which is the first time I have seen my surgeon since surgery. I first met with a dietician and we just went over basic stuff- are you getting protein in, vitamins taken, liquids kept up, etc... Then I went upstairs and when my surgeon walked in, he said "Well, how much are you loving the sleeve?! You look amazing and you have cheekbones!" Haha... I told him to not let that fool him, it could very well be my new NARS blush! . He had a lot of nice things to say about me, which was nice to hear! Also, HE SAID I DIDNT HAVE TO TAKE MY CARAFATE ANYMORE!!! Thank goodness! That stuff is horrible! Oh, and I weighed this morning and I was exactly 245.0. My highest weight was 277 so I am down 32 lbs in a month. I'm happy with my progress so far and it appears I'm just getting out of my 3 week stall. That's all for now, just thought I would journal a bit today! -
I had a 3 week stall. I lost 8 lbs last week and nothing this week.

I know there is the 3 week stall, but i think my stall is going to last 3 weeks! its insane!! Have you talked to your surgon about it? Im almost afraid to ask mine, I don't want him to think i'm sitting around eating chocolate all day or something, but if I don't get out of this stall, i'll go crazy! -
