3 week post-op stall
Djmohr replied to Heybrendacleo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Please search for 3 week stall on this site and you will find how common this is. Also one week with no loss is not really a stall. When you go several weeks with no loss then I would suggest your body might be taking a break. Just keep following the plan and the break will end. Your body is just waiting to see what you will do next. -
3 week post-op stall
faith19evans replied to Heybrendacleo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@ We had surgery the same day. I have one more week of full fluids. I haven't weighed myself again since my 2 week follow up. From other forums I believe a 3 week stall is normal. How are you doing otherwise? -
Do a search for 3 week stall. This is perfectly normal. Also if I may add, you may want to work on increasing your Protein intake. Meeting your protein and Fluid goals is the one the best things to help make the weight loss happen. Just be patient and stay the course. The weight loss will happen, I promise.

December Sleevers
sweetie716 replied to kelskels13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm down 51 since surgery on Dec. 11th. I am exercising every day about 30-45 minutes and tracking everything I eat in MFP and taking my Vitamins. My 3 week stall lasted 10-11 days and I stalled last week for 6 days. I'll be 3 months out on Wednesday. I think I may be seeing a little extra hair in the brush after showers, but I'm not 100% sure yet. I have been having dreams about clumps coming out. I've been hitting protein/fluid goals since day 3 post-op. -
December Sleevers
ThinnieMinnie2B replied to kelskels13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 12/22. I've a total of 51lbs including the 15lbs during the 2 week pre op liquid diet. I hit the dreaded 3 week stall and it lasted a good 2-3 weeks. Super frustrating. But I can tell my body is reshaping itself, especially my tummy. I drink around 100oz of fluid a day, get in 60-70g of protein, track EVERYTHING using My Fitness Pal, and walk 2-3 miles 4-5 times a week. I've also been doing squats, lunges and other exercises to shape up my legs and booty. During the stall I would change up the foods I was eating and the exercise. It seemed to help. It can be discouraging but just remember if you're following your program you WILL lose and the sleeve will do it's job. Congrats on your 26lb loss! Best wishes! -
Weight coming off too fast?
angiem1973 replied to angiem1973's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You guys are awesome! Thanks! The Protein is a battle right now- I've tried ALL of the brands- the fruit based, the milk based - they are all disgusting. But I may just have to hold my nose and get it in. So I guess the "3 week stall" is what I should watch out for and look fondly back at the "oh crap it's coming off to fast" when that happens. I'm keeping my Water up pretty good- I'm not having any nausea and I can almost chug water without problems . Thanks again for the support- this newbie has lots of questions. -

I have answered questions about that dreaded 2-3 week stall for new post ops but now I am 9 months out and have not moved an ounce in 4 weeks. I know this is a stall and I know I have not lost all my weight, and I know that I am not eating enough to maintain this weight but of course my head wants to know HOW LONG??? For those of you past this point who have dealt with stalls like this, how long did yours last? These head games are the roughest part!!!

Slow weight loss 21 days post sleeve surgery
Bastian replied to mia wallace's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I lost 15kg, 33lbs in 2 weeks!! Crazy I know & I kept asking the nurses if their scales were right but I was pretty unwell. 11lbs is fantastic, Could you have lost 11lbs before surgery so easily? My loss really was due to how unwell I was and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It was really awful and I would have rather lost 11lbs and not had the problems I had. BUT only 1kg (2.2lbs) down since lol so am having the 3-week stall too and it is SO frustrating being on so few calories and nothing is happening. It feels a bit like being on a diet pre-surgery and sticking to it yet not losing anything, so I am trying really hard to just try and trust that it will start going down again. As far as your 1 painful wound, it might just be that deeper down there is a bit of scar tissue pulling when you move a certain way, that will eventually stretch and soften up a bit and stop tugging and causing discomfort. -
@@apeters9284 good for you that you read about the 3 week stall the stall can and does last for a bit - no specific time period hopefully it will be over with sooner than later you are doing great with your Water, Protein 40 lbs down!! keep up the good work kathy congrats

I had surgery October 15th. With preop dirty and 2 weeks after, I lost 40 pounds pounds. Since then, the scale has not moved at all. It has been 2 1/2 weeks. I get my protein in everyday and try to get all my liquids in. I'm scared to death that I am someone who the surgery will not work for. I am eating so much less but its not showing on the scale. I have done research on the 3 week stall but do they last 2 1/2 weeks? I am so upset about this! I have so much more to lose and it seems I have plateaued already. Anyone have advice? Thanks!

What are good total fat, carb numbers?
ylopez replied to WeightStruggle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So glad I found this thread. I was sleeved 3/18 n my first post-op appt was last week n I had lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks. I was elated. Today I didnt have an appt but had to stop by my drs office to pick up a paper n decided to weigh myself. Only lost 3lbs since last week. I know thats good but I feel it should be more. Now reading thru this thread I see alot of ppl hit a 3 week stall. This is y I refuse to buy a scale. Lol I was also wondering about daily calorie intake. I average 400-600 calories daily. Waiting on my NUT to advise me on this. I also track my Protein n I'm getting my 60 grams of protein in. I try to eat high protein foods such as eggs, cottage cheese n Beans. -

hellonurse replied to simplyQuel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It sounds like that dreaded 3 week stall, maybe? I hit that at two weeks post op Now im back on track, Im like you, I only have 60 pounds to lose. I'm trying so hard, I finally started back up with losing. Lost 5 pounds in week 3!! Hang in there, it is harder for us, due to the lower starting weight and smaller amount to lose, but we can do it!!! I started cardio aerobics, it helps Sent from my iPhone using VST -
How Much Did You Lose In Month 1
LoserMama replied to Mrs.Prisses's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Holy crap I'd be thrilled to have lost as much as you. I was sleeved 12/21, and post op I've lost about 17 pounds and I've been stalled here for about a week (guess that is the lovely 3 week stall) but hey, I'm 4 weeks now, so can we move on? -
And how long does the 3 week stall last? I haven'tlost anything in the last 45 minutes and I'm worried I've failed!!! I know that I can't drink fizzy drinks, but if I wait til my vodka and redbull goes flat, that will be ok right? And I also ate a KFC family feast for dinner and I'm worried I've stretched my sleeve, how can I tell?

8 weeks out, officially hit the 30 pound mark, slow and steady wins the race....
adargie commented on adargie's blog entry in adargie's Blog
I had the 3 week stall that most everyone experiences it lasted for 10 long days then I dropped a couple pounds. Other than that no other stalls. I seems to hold the same for 3-4-5 days then drop a pound and then next day half a pound then same for a week. I know if I did more exercise I would see more but having a hard time in the motivation department with life so busy, I am getting a good 2/3 mile walk a day. I think my expectations were high too seeing people reach goal at 6 months and all. I will have them check my lean mass when I go in nextime. I am still excited that I have had this done and will continue to work at it. -
Who Else Is Not Losing?
mistysj replied to luvzpitbullz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your body is healing. You are retaining water, you have changed your diet drastically, and your glycogen stores are depleted and recharging. It's called the 3 week stall even though some of us have it at 2 or 4 weeks and a rare few of us don't have it. Don't change things. Just keep following your bariatric team's plan. -
started soft food gained 2 pounds
gamergirl replied to Twylad's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
It could be that your body is hanging on to the food, but you're also in the right time window to hit the dreaded 3 week stall so buckle up, keep doing what ou are doing, and join the hordes of us suffering through the same thing! Sucks doesn't it? Good news is, it's temporary. -
Question??? How did you transition from mostly using shakes to getting your protein from food sources? I started really tracking what I am eating due to my 3 week stall. I'm noticing that due to my milk allergy that most of the shakes and yogurts I eat are a bit higher in carbs and calories than I would like and noticed I am more reliant on the shakes than food to get my protein in. How hard was the transition? Should I gradually start eliminating the shakes? Thanks for any info you could share.

Jodie, I wish I could help but I am also in the midst of a plateau. I expected it to happen when I went from full liquids to mushies. I've lost 23 pounds since my surgery, almost 4 weeks ago. I lost 20 pounds quickly but have really struggled with these last 3 pounds. I've gained a pound or two back, then lost it, then found it, then lost it again. Jeez, it's annoying! I'm hoping it's just the usual 3 week stall that so many people experience. I have increased my exercise level and I am making sure that I'm getting my protein in first, then any carbs. Unfortunately, at this stage I can't eat fruits or too many vegetables yet, although I did have a tiny bit of lettuce today. I think your body is just in shock and is trying to hang on to every calorie it can find. My body usually holds on to calories for about 4-5 days and then I lose weight for 2 days then back to holding on. I'm sure I have messed my metabolism up from all the dieting and losing and gaining weight over the past 20 years. Maybe it's time to try a different activity - like bike riding or yoga, that might jolt your body into letting go of some weight! Good luck!

What really counts is your measurements in my opinion, I bet they’re moving. Don’t worry about it, it’ll drop and remember you’re fresh out of surgery, your body is healing too. Classic 3 week stall....don’t stress.

Well I am a little over 5 weeks out. I got the 3 week stall for 5 days, and now I am at a 5 week stall. The difference between this one and the last is that I keep bouncing up and down on the scale instead of just stopping and then going down. I'm only down 27 lbs and frustrated it decided to come so soon. I know everyone gets them, so maybe I can get some advice. How long did your first stall last? What do you feel you did to break it?

Me too Life. I am in a 3 week stall... But I believe that if we stick with our program, this too shall pass. Just avoid the One Big Mistake... giving up.
