wish i could say the same. my tom i coming though and i know that i dont lose when it is. after it i always drop big, so i am hoping that that helps me get over the hump.

Mine just ended today with a 2# loss after 9 days of nothing.

At week three I had a three week stall. Then last week (week 12) I started another stall so far nothing is dropping. . My daughter and I did basically the same she is in the same stall as I am, her first one lasted 2 1/2 weeks and this one started a few days before mine. We both gained two lbs, we don' t like it but know it is temporary.

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.

Mine lasted 6 weeks! Then I lost 10lbs in a week and it stayed off. Now I'm in a 2nd stall. :) But as long as I drop 10 lbs after this one, I'll be happy.

I am a little over 4 months out and am having my first stall. I am 10lbs from goal and it is soooo upsetting to do everything so right and not have that damn scale MOVE!!

Hopefully, when the stall ends the 10lbs will magically disappear! Wishfull thinking!

tamareta, three weeks post op seems to be the most common first stall but there are no rules here. The body just goes into protective mode when IT needs to and then lets go when it finds that starvation isn't happening. Most people go through it from time to time and mostly we encourage each other that it gets better, stay the course.

im at 4 weeks out and still stalled. i was supposed to have my tom by now but nothing. however i am cramping now so hopefully i can get it and get over it and this stall will go away :)

i havent weighed myself since last week so as to not get bumbed out, but i know i havent lost anything because all of the clothes fit the same. ive never wanted my period to get here so bad....except for when i thought i might be pregnant when i didnt want to be lol.

Im entering my 5th week and my stall happened at about week 2.5. I was down 15 lbs at 2 weeks. Then I lost another 3 lbs ater that week. And the scale hasnt moved since! My swelling has gone down and I can now drink more fluids. Hooray! Now I just have to be patient and wait for the scale to start moving again.

Thank you for this thread. I hit my 3 week mark and I have stalled at 26 lbs. On top of this I feel like I am going to get my period again which makes me feel bloated. I was beginning to feel a bit discourage. So much so I had a snack I shouldn't have had. Didn't get sick. I didn't go overboard but I am only supposed to have 3 meals and no Snacks at this point. Watching my boyfriend snack on stuff really hasn't been helpful. I am not hungry but I just miss the social aspect. I have to get over it! :unsure:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
