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!

@@#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! -

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! -
And So Our Journey Begins...
MistyAnnMoon829 replied to MistyAnnMoon829's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Back at work today!! In the last 2 weeks that I had off I completely messed up my sleep schedule. I use to be asleep around 10 pm, but during my time off I starting staying up super late and sleeping in super late, so that mixed with back to work anxiety I didn't fall asleep until after midnight. I am a sleepy lady. And on top of that my alarm didn't go off. I just happened to wake up in time. Weighed in and no loss, no shock there, I seem to have a pattern of no loss for 2-3 days and then the scale dips down, and I know that 3 week stall is coming up here as well. I may not weigh myself for a full week, Ah who am I kidding of course I'm going to weigh in! I haven't "eaten" my Breakfast yet since I don't like to eat this early, I'll probably have my Protein in the next 3 hours. Though my tummy is feeling a little off today. I can't quite place it...I have my 2 week post op right after work. My co-workers decorated my desk for me, which was super sweet! Back to the grind, hope everyone is having a great day! -
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!

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!!???!!! -
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.

Yes. It fluctuates a pound or so either direction but stuck at 245. 4 month stall? I know 3 week stall is common.

February 2022 Surgery Buddies
Teeva replied to MeganMyers's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are a lot of sources that talk about a "3 week stall" that describes a temporary (maybe 1-4 weeks) halt in weight loss right around this time-- don't worry, it's normal! I've read that it's the body reacting and adjusting to the change (and making sure it's not starving). Some people say they have a big drop right after the stall ends and that they have other signs of 'progress' during this time. It might be a good decision to weigh yourself less frequently, like once a week or so, so that you don't agonize too much over the micro-ups/downs. I personally hit this stall for about a week, quickly lost another 7 lbs and then hovered there for another couple of weeks. Keep doing what you are doing, you are totally on the right track! -

August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?
TaiDyed replied to futureskinnypants's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I cannot believe that it's been 23 days since I had my surgery! I honestly do not know where the time has gone. I am down 26.5 lbs since starting the pre op diet. I am in the midst of the 3 week stall, but know that after nearly 6 weeks of being at 500-800 calories/day, my body has some serious readjusting to do. I've been back at the gym for 2 weeks and every day feel a little stronger. I'm looking forward to going back to kettlebell classes next month. I know that is going to be a huge help in dropping weight and reshaping the body. So many of us starting this journey together! We are amazing!! -
It is probably the 3 week stall it is quite common don't worry you didn't mess this up:) I am over 5 months out and almost 60lbs down since surgery and the stalls come and go just keep on keepin on.

Before and After Pics
Bubbletoes replied to Roserie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I posted this in the "sixties" forum but wanted to be wedged in between all these young beauties! Everyone looks amazing! I still have a long way to go, but I'm working this sleeve for all its worth. I started at 276 and was sleeved on May 20. Two and a half months later I'm at 225 so I'm 51 lbs down (after an infuriating 3 week stall). I'm 64 and now I don't feel a day over 61. ???? -
I had my VSG on March 16, 2011. I thought that I was doing well with the weight loss and I've been at a stall for the past week. Its so frustrating. I went from 251 down to 239 and the scale has not moved. I'm currently on the mush diet, getting in my protein shakes and even started back at the gym. I've read through the different threads and I guess I'm just at the "3 week stall".

Hey Barb- Trying my best to stay warm, but man is it cold outside! Glad you're feeling better. Normal will return. I have to keep telling myself, "Anna, you did just have MAJOR surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago. You're going to be tired." I weigh on Saturdays and this week I've GAINED 2 pounds. Not what I want. I'm blaming on my period, since I have been the best I've ever been about sticking to a diet/eating plan. I am a little worried that this may be my 3 week stall - Lord, I hope not. That would be cruel. I'm hovering right above 200 and can't wait to be on the other side. Even thought you feel like you're eating a lot, I bet it's nowhere close to what you ate before. I've been measuring my food and can usually eat between 1/4 to 1/2 cup and I'm stuffed!! Hang in there and stay warm yourself!
