Your doing fine. You're on the right track. I started out the same way, then hit the 3 week stall and was stuck until week 4. Don't focus too much on numbers because it will drive you crazy. You are also losing inches too. Keep up the good work.

Hi Carla, Very normal. The hospital pumped about 8-10lbs of fluids into you during your stay and surgery so you lose that right away. Additionally, you will lose your glycogen stores which is basically sugar that has been modified for energy for use in your muscles. On average a person has about 2lbs of glycogen in their muscles, and to store that, about 8 lbs of Water. When your body is starving, it dumps its stores of glycogen and with that, the water that suspended it for use. Not to take away from your joy because it is really exciting to have any loss, but be prepared for the dreaded 3 week stall. For some people it is shorter than others but for most it lasts at least a week or two of no weight loss, and sometimes even gain while your body replenishes and rebuilds the glycogen stores. After the store, you should expect anywhere from 2-4lbs weight loss weekly during your losing phase. Make sure you are getting in your Protein so that your hair doesn't fall out later. -
Help!!! I converted from Lapband to bypass 3wks ago and at my 2wk appt my doc ok'd me to have Wendy's chili and chicken and ground turkey etc as long as I chewed it well. I'm assuming she transitioned me because I had a previous surgery. However, preop included I lost 39lbs but since real food I'm back up 4lbs. I know about the 3 week stall but wouldn't I had lost more staying on liquids/ purée/soft food stage longer. I feel like my doc sabotaged me. Anyone else transitioned early per doc and gained?

Hi all, 1 month post surgery today, I've lost 40 lbs overall , 20 since surgery. I've been experiencing the dreaded 3 week stall, its frustrating but not unexpected with all the forums about it out there. I started riding my bike again, I don't like walking and started a at home exercise regime. Doing yard work is my best exercise! I'm trying to get more than 600 calories a day, it's tough when I'm not hungry, I've been focusing on getting protein. I don't miss my Diet Dr. Pepper habit, which i thought would be the hardest part. Food selection hasn't been too bad, I do like the ricotta bake, I add shrimp and mushrooms. Sugar free jello for snacks and tons of yogurt. I can start regular foods next week but I don't expect I'll be getting too adventurous until I get further out. . I've had a few colleagues ask me if I've lost weight as my face they see on Teams calls is much thinner, I've told a few and not ashamed by it. We booked a trip to Nassau, Bahamas next month and I look forward to not being the beached whale. Hope you all the best, John..

I had surgery the 24th also, I too have only lost 16 lbs. I totally agree with It being the 3 week stall. Follow the program. It will work out! ☺️

I am a month post op. I am a revision from sleeve to RNY. The first week I lost 18 pounds. Absolutely nothing since. I have actually gained 2 pounds of that back with no reason to. I am now on regular foods and do everything I can to get Protein in with foods. I cannot drink the shakes because they make me sick. I have given up everything as I needed to. I eat chicken, fish, Beans, Greek yogurt, turkey, vegetables and little fruits. I drink Water only. I feel like this has failed me. I feel like I am doing everything I am supposed to. This is a true 3 week stall after only being a month out. I have measured and my measurements haven't changed during this time either. With a 2 pound gain. Help!!!

How long did your week 3 (or first) stall last?
teacher replied to Chantel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My 3 week stall last 2 weeks. I started walking and lost 4 pounds. Now I am at almost 7 weeks and stuck again. My clothes feel like I have lost weight but the scale does not show it. Very aggravated! -
Very disappointing Surgeon Check-up
Lori21769 replied to tbarnes18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
texashopeful- be patient. You have done great with your loss of 35 lbs in such a short amount of time. I had a 3 week stall about 5-6 weeks out. Your body is still healing. Give it time, and you will soon see some good drops every week! As long as you are getting your protein and water- it will be great. I am 12 weeks out, and 50 lbs down. I am very happy with that loss. I still have 80-90 to go! -
Youtube has many types of exercise videos on it. from zumba to yoga. I am 38 days out and still in 3 week stall but staying positive and exercising at the gym

I'm 10 weeks post op & I've stalled. For a week now. It's so frustrating. I've stepped up my exercise and even decreased my food intake. I did not go through the 3 week stall. This is my first time. I'm about to go back to a liquid diet for a bit. Any help or suggestions. Thank you ????????

Hi Stephh, hopefully I'm on the spreadsheet by now. Good news is that I finally broke that 3 week stall and happy to say I'm now at 251 down from 256 when I first reported at the beginning of the challenge. Yippeeeeeeeee. Looking forward to more.

It's the 3 week stall that everyone goes through. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Stay hydrated, eat your protien and let it pass. This won't be your last stall, either, but a stall this early out is a physiological thing that happens to everyone after large losses the first weeks. Stalls later out are probably more behaviors causing them. So at this time, just keep doing what you're doing and it will pass.

How many of you have suffered from this? And how long did it last for you? I'm dealing with it now and it's driving me mental. I'm trying to stay positive, I just thought maybe hearing other people's stories may help!

Haven't lost any weight in a week
Leather'nLace replied to Andre08's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My stall happened on Day 6 and lasted almost 2 weeks. Yesterday I woke up to a 3 pound weight loss and today a 1 pound weight loss. Everyone talks about a 3 week stall. I think I just hit mine early and it sounds like yours is right on time. Hang in there! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App- 43 replies

Embrace the Stall
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Inner Surfer Girl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
The 3 week stall is different than stalls that come along months after surgery. Here's why:http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html#.UqP7uBLn-Uk Yes, but stalls are still a natural part of the process. They are going to happen. -

Looking for those who had sleeve in August 2015
confusedgirl18 replied to Sherri1964's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is anyone stalling again? I'm stalling at 167 pounds I've lost 48.4 pounds so far. I had my surgery on August 4th, I've stalled once in the 3 week stall, but I really want to lose 33 more pounds maximum!! Idk if I could do it in 5 months! Is it the way I'm eating? I eat everything but in small amounts some days healthy some days not. I still eat carbs, but still get my protein in. I don't track calories but I have not gained any weight, and some days I eat nothing and other days I eat a pretty good amount. So is anyone else stalling? And do you think it's possible to lose 33 more pounds in 5 months? -

August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?
Ready4success replied to futureskinnypants's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on 8/28, so I'm 3 weeks post-op today. I didn't hit the 3 week stall, but definitely hit a road bump. Only a 2 pound loss since last week, for a total of almost 30 pounds. I'm feeling like myself now, and I'm ready to do more at the gym. Walking has always been so boring to me, and it's getting old. I return to work Thursday night, and I'm so ready! How is everybody else doing? -
September bypass buddies??
shoregirl75 replied to MissPoodle's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Stall, Stall, Stall.......I'm frustrated. I am 5 weeks out revision from sleeve to bypass. I also had a set back of a small bowl obstruction which landed my back in the hospital week 2. I guess i am in the dreaded 3 week stall. I haven't lost anything since the 3rd week. I lost 14.8 prior to surgery and 16. 8 lbs since surgery on 9/10, but nothing since the 3rd week. I have actually gain and lost the same 1-2 lbs for the last 2 weeks. I know it happens, and by body and adjusting and all that, but it is still just discouraging. I am getting my protein in and i have been doing better with liquids although i still need to improve more on that. It is just that, we are eating so little compared to preop, and i can't help but thinking, I should be losing something every week. My mind says how in the world can i not be lose anything for 2 weeks on what i am eating?? I am a revision from sleeve to bypass so i know i may also lose slower than other new bypass patients. I just can help but worry will the stall break? Will i not lose anything else? Will this not work for me because I had previous WLS? I'm sure i am am overreacting today (I hope!) but today I just seem more frustrated than other days, and I needed to vent to those i know will understand my frustration. I had prepared myself for stall, or so I though, I just i just really didn't prepare myself, that this soon out i would be going into a 3rd week of a stall. End of venting session. Thanks for listening. -
