When To Expect My First Stall?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering from some of the others how long were you into your sleeved journey before you experienced your first stall and how long did it last?

It varies for everyone. Tuesday will be 4 weeks for me and I haven't had one yet. (Knock on wood!)

Usually the 3 week stall is the most common first one but you will have stalls often :) Don't worry,as always with hard work and dedication they shall pass :)

Throw away the scale.... then you will never know if you have a stall :) I only weigh at the NUT and I don't see her all the time

Two weeks after surgery for me. I'm now almost 7 weeks out and in the second two week stall. This is not going to be easy-breezy for me, I'm afraid.

I'm coming up on 9 week sleeved and 6+ weeks stalled.

I don't weigh myself at home so I can't pinpoint when the stall started, and I guess I can't say for sure that it's still on, but last week when I was weighed, I weighed the exact same that I weighed when I went to the doctor between 3 - 4 weeks post-op.

As for what to expect, most people stall week 2 or 3, and it tends to last a week or two.

I am a May 1 st girl, and I've been bouncing the same 2-4 lbs for a week now. I'm having a hard time getting over 300-400 cal per day and even hard to get in all the fluids needed, so I'm sure body is in save mode. I'm trying to resolve to the belief that I can't stay 240# on 400 calories a day, forever.,,,,, can I?????

This is the thing we must all remember. WE CAN'T STAY HEAVY EATING SO LITTLE OF THE RIGHT food. Stalls are temporary. Though they P*SS us all off, it's essential for our bodies to catch up. I hit mine at just over 2 weeks out. It lasted almost 2 weeks. In that time my husband hid the scale and told me only once a week will I weigh. I thank him now. Was mad then. As long as you're not sucking down milkshakes and eating m&m's, you'll lose wight. Relax, enjoy the new experiences. You'll look back and laugh. (At least that's what I tell myself lol)

      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.
