When does the first stall usually happen?

I know everyone is different, but when did most of you experience your first stall?

Yesterday I was two weeks post op, and I haven't dropped any weight in four days. Seems early for a stall, I could have sworn most people were further out, and as much as four months out?

mine was around week three, and it lasted 12 days!! it was scary but since the stall I have dropped 15lbs, at about 1/2 pound per day. It will break don't worry. Yours might be earlier if you lost more weight that others pre-op.

I hit the stall at 2 weeks out. I cannot move the scales except back and forth over the same 2 pounds. I am so depressed about this right now. I feel like I am doing everything right, but I guess I am so used to failing at this that I can't help but feel this is not working for me. I know how stalls are in regular diets - I have stayed the same for days and then dropped 5 pounds seemingly overnight, but this has gone on for almost 2 weeks. Chin up for both of us. THere is no way we are going to keep taking in so few calories and stay the same weight!

I know we aren't supposed to use the word "only" but I have lost 10 pounds in 16 days, I could have done that on my own!

Really regretting this surgery at this point.

I think a big problem today is that we are soooo impatient as a people. I dont know anyone who has lost 10 pounds in 16 days without surgery or on their liquid diet. I mean be for real. I dont think most of us could do that on our own and if we could we wouldnt be fat. Its the maintaining the loss that counts anyway. So what if you ONLY lost 10 pounds... thats 10 pounds you wont regain next week. It will come off when it decides to. You didnt gain all that weight in 16 days so how can you expect it to just miracle its way off that fast?? Please give your sleeve a chance... you dont really have a choice at this point anyway. I am sure it will speed up for you soon.. Your body has to adjust to the low calorie intake..also, you dont saggy skin from losing to fast anyway. I wish you the best. I think you should try to exercise some patience and let your sleeve work for you. Just my two cents and I dont mean it in a harsh way. We all get like this and I have to remind myself alot to be patient!

Oh, I completely agree in every way! I blogged about how I didn't gain it in a day, a week, a month, or even a year and how I am trying to be patient. I just haven't seen many posts with such an early stall and it just falls into my fear of this not working and all being for nothing.

I had a significant setback in the third week myself. I am all to familiar. I had a kidney stone and they pumped me full of fluids for 5 days and I had another surgery on my kidney. When I got home, I had gained it all back then some! I had to start over from 236 instead of 234. I just kept telling myself that I would still be fine and it would come off. It took another week to get off the Water weight and be back where I was at week two and it was week 4! It has come off at 2 to 3 pounds a week since and this week was even 4.5 lbs. I will come off if we do what we are supposed to and be patient.. Best of luck to you! Keep up the good work and I cant wait to see updates from you! You are gonna do great! :cheer2:
