3 Week Stall ( Frustrated)



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I was sleeved on 2/4/12 lost 22 pounds so far. the first couple of weeks after surgery I was losing a pound or two every day but once I hit 3 weeks I stalled out at 243 pounds and been stuck there ever since. Is this normal? Monday will be 4 weeks. I haven't been over eating or anything like that I have been sticking to my diet plan. I feel very frustrated that the weight loss seems to have stopped. Any help or suggestions will be welcome

I'm also at my three week stall for the last week and a half. It's annoying, however it does come with the territory. I am just trying to be patient and learn how to snap out of these stalls. Best of luck. Have faith that we will make it passed these stupid stalls.

I had the exact same thing. It lasted 2 weeks and I actually gained weight! Don't stress - its normal and to do with the Fluid in your glycogen cells. You will come out the other side. It's just frustrating at the time.

I'm so glad other are having this problem too, I'm 15 lbs short of 100 lbs lost and I'm pounding my head against the wall with this stall.

The third week stall happens to almost everyone. I had that stall too. For like 10 days or so. Dont worry. It will pass and you'll start losing pretty fast.

      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.
