I was sleeved June 27, 2011, I have lost 20lbs, but have went from a sixe 2x in tops to a large. It is crazy. I also had a black surgeon in Dallas. I have seen people with the lap band and it does not seem to work well. My hair is natural, so ihave not had any hair loss as of yet. So I am doing pretty well. I went through a depression on July 4th and didn't come out the house(haha) I was thinking about all the bar b que I was missing, but i was on liquids then. So things are better now. I am at that 3 week stall, but hopefully things will pick up. My bllod pressure has been normal and i am getting weaned off of insulin. Only 77lbs to go!

Yasmine replied to dlinnh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cher... We are the same My surgery was on Nov 12th... and I'm down 20 as well!!! I am feeling good... still tired and weak... as for Protein I am using the costco shakes too... I also found a great product called "Protein Blitz" it's like a Gatorade... each 20 oz bottle serves 30 grams of protein. You can find it at "The Vitamin Shoppe" or other places like GNC. This week I have stalled :-\ - Don't know if its the "3 week stall" everyone talks about or cuz I started my cycle... (TMI) Double-whammmie Lol o_O Oh well... 20 pounds is a Great start... keep me posted... Good Luck!!!! -
Im 11 or so weeks out and just out of a 3 week stall- where i tired hard to stay positive. I just kept thinking that my body was probably in shock with small potions/healthy food/ exercise that it suddenly had to deal with. I put the scale a way for a week and was happy to see a 5 lb lost after that! Sometimes its hard to understand why my weight is not dropping off.. But slowly slowly it will . And will do so for u too! !!!

Cheated postop...concerned
Debbie Jean replied to xmaleengyx's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Your tummy was butchered so it's still very swollen. Reintroducing foods is a very sloooow process. Some people need to go slower than others so take your time with the soft foods. Remember Protein and hydration are crucial. Not only will you feel better but it promotes weight loss. You are experiencing the classic 3 week stall. Everyone raise your hand if you experienced it? Lol. I did. I think many many do. I didn't drop anything for about a week. Your tummy is resting and healing. It WILL start dropping again. As always though if you have any questions ask your surgeon/nut. They are the best guide to what is normal and what you should be concerned about. Hang in there! Hope you are feeling better soon -

mamaofmatthew replied to Rovobay's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
VSGLiz, I feel your pain. I was sleeved on 09/10. I lost 25lbs in a blink of an eye...for the past 2 weeks, NOTHING! so frustrating. 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! -

Susanjoyce392 replied to Kiba's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Very normal-- you are probably losing fat, just "restocking water"! That 3-week stall article on here explains it really well. -

BadWolf523 replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a cold this week so I never made it to the gym which kind of bums me out because I enjoy going. However, I stuck to my eating plan, which I decided would be keto, and I lost 7lbs. This came after a 3 week stall. I’ve noticed that some people noticed weight gain during their stall. I just sat at 251 for 3 weeks. I wonder what causes to see weight gain. -
Thats the 3 week stall my dr told me about Sent from my SM-G935F using BariatricPal mobile app

how long is the 3 week stall?
tamareta replied to Sassygirl06's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When you say you have a 3 week stall does that also include the 2 weeks pre-op? I am at a stall and I am 1 1/2 week post op but 3 1/2 week including pre-op. -
I'd like to set a weightloss goal weight for June 1st, but how does one go about setting a realistic but not too easy/obvious goal? I was sleeved march second. Sw 224 CW 198 Gw 173? That's 25 lbs down in the next 8 weeks. Think that's too much for me? Watch me hit my 3 week stall right now and throw me all off. Lol

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
ALFxRNY replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I still lurk around but haven’t been posting. I will be 6 months out December 28th. I think I’m doing okay. My body keeps stalling after slight gains. Had a 3 week stall and then it broke. Gained again but lost the weight I gained. My body is just being really weird right now. I’m down to about 225-226 lbs right now (was 275 day of surgery and 285 day of discharge). My surgeon’s office wants me to be at least 220 by January, hoping to surpass that. Hope all is well with everyone! -

I know it's normal, but I'm still freaking out (Stall?)
StacyS replied to apple-saucy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you guys outta your stall yet? I'm at week 3 and haven't lost a pound since Monday. I am totally prepared for the 3 week stall everyone goes through but I'm on full liquids and am having a lot of issues getting anything think down. I'm able to get blended creamed Soup, blended greek yogurt, and nectar Protein Water... but that's seriously it! I'm not even close to getting 64oz of fluids in, and maybe get 60g of protein in a day.... I'm so sad! I was so excited to drink my yummy chocolate Protein shakes, but NOPE, they dont go down! So, I was just wondering if ya'll were able to break your stall and at which week did it break? For me, it's not like I can up my calorie intake, or increase protein, etc. I have come to accept the fact that it's gonna take me a while longer to move through the stages. But any advice would be appreciated!! -
Week 2: May 27-31st Sleevers
lylabelle replied to lylabelle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There is a typical 3 week stall. Some may have it sooner, some later. 20-30 pounds the first month is average. We still have 3 weeks in the first month! So its likely to stop here and there. Here is some chemistry on that which may help after fat cells had been emptied of stored triglyceride, they would temporarily refill with water (glycerol attracts water, which might be part of the mechanism). Fat cells filled with fat take up more space than fat cells filled with water, so you may see inches go. Then, after some time frame, the water would get dropped, the fat cells would shrink down. That is, the fat was emptied and burned off days or weeks ago but until the water is dropped, the scale didn't change. Mine isn't showing much of a loss because of TOM. Its *brutal* today. Definatly more painful than normal. no fun. But I'm guessing in 3-4 days I should see a whoosh. -
Following the Dr but 2 Wks post & stalled/overeating?
vsg4vfc replied to vsg4vfc's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you so much. I'm in the healthcare field and this was the first explanation I found that really seems to match what I'm actually feeling. My surgeon does seem to know about the 3 week stall and she is very sweet but she is still relatively new to the field (though a lot of her colleagues seem to really like her and I love her too) so maybe as far as her patients go, most don't have issues until the 3rd week? I've been exploring the forums and online too and I have started to see a few 2 week stallers tho definitely more 3+ wks but the science does make me feel better so all I can do is keep pushing forward. Thank you! -

insta_adventurer replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Totally can relate! When I first stalled, I told myself, “The three week stall is totally normal and happens to nearly everyone!” Then a week passed and I repeated the above to myself... then week two passed, and I started researching, but not finding definitive answers, how long the three week stall typically lasts. Then week three passed and I started to get really frustrated and debated calling my surgeons office. The truth is there is no set time for how long the 3 weeks stall will last. Some it only lasts a week for... others stalled for a month... but it does break eventually. Just remember that there is likely no possible way you could be consuming enough calories to be gaining weight or not losing at this point... so whatever is causing it is not your fault. -

I think I hit that 3 week stall that I keep reading about 😩. Tuesday will make it 4 weeks post op for me and my scale haven’t moved in a week. Trying to stay positive. -
I had my RNY procedure last January at 52. So far so good. 2 days in the hospital, I managed my pain at home with Tylenol instead of the hydrocodone I was given. No complications, I did have a bout of dumping when eating peanut butter for the first time post-surgery. I can tolerate it now. I lost a total of 85 pounds. I had a 3-week stall last March. I am off CPAP. My A1C is at 5.5 and I am feeling great. I love my new body. I am working on minimizing the scars with silicone scar and tretinoin via the advice of my dermatologist. My asthma is way under control so need for my maintenance inhaler. I feel that this was a reset in my life in many ways. I do Zumba, walk, and use dumbells to stay in shape. I make sure to stay hydrated per my surgeon's instructions. I follow my surgical team's advice to the letter. I'm just feeling blessed. Best of luck in your journey.

Congratulations everyone! My first big goal post surgery is to get below the 250's and I've hit the dreaded 3 week stall... grrr... I hope it doesn't last long. I've been stuck at 253 since last Friday. 500-700 calories per day. The past 2 days I've been trying to get up to 800 calories per day to switch it up.

Thank you for posting. I was just searching the forum for a post about the 3 week stall. I am currently 6 weeks post-op and have been stalled from week 3- the current. I know all the FB support groups etc warn you about the 3-week stall, but I have been so discouraged watching the scale not move for 2.5 weeks. I keep my net carbs at below 35 a day, my calorie intake is usually between 550-700 calories a day. My protein is always between 70-90 grams a day. And for the most part, I reach 64+ oz of water. i don't know what else to do to break the stall. I did lose 1.3lbs in the last 24 hours, so I'm hoping that's a sign I'm back in the game and will see the scale changing again.
