How Long Do 'stalls' Last?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I was sleeved on Feb. 15, 2012. After surgery I lost some weight up until approximately Feb. 25 ish. Since then I haven't lost any weight. I know this is normal but it's been about 2 weeks now. How long do these stalls last? I'll be calling my nitritionist on Monday but wanted input from those that actually have had them. Would love to hear your story. Thank you and God bless :)

My stall began at about 10 days to two weeks out. It lasted about two weeks and I've dropped 7 pounds since I broke it. (: try not to focus on the scale so much. A call to the NUT is good though to make sure you're doing everything you should (:

So far at 3 months out there is 1-2 weeks where I don't lose a lb but I have some good weeks that I can lose 2-3 lbs . So yeah about 2 weeks , everybody is different and is frustating but we must have patience . I hope the scale moves soon for you .

I've found stalls last about two weeks. Keep on plan and it'll all be ok!

I'm 11 months out and have been stalled for 2-3 MONTHS!!! I have been within 1/2 pound of Onederland and just keep rocking back and forth on the same pound. I am about the think this may be where my body is settling. Not too discouraged, because I can easily live the rest of my life like I am now. Much better than 104 pounds ago. I am just disappointed that I may never reach my goal. Maybe I was being unrealistic. Anyway...Kathe

stalls last as long as they last. Start really looking for the NSVs. Are your clothes looser, do you have more stamina?

It will break and you will continue to lose as long as you stay on plan. :)

Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
