how long do stalls last?



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks and have been in a stall for over 2 weeks. I'm just wondering how long stalls typically last. I just jeep hoping that today will be the day that it finally breaks. So frustrating!

Stalls ate super frustrating.. My order stall was at three weeks and from what I heard it was fairly common that it happens then the dreaded "week three stall" mine lasted like 3 weeks but then the scale was on the go again!!! I hope that the scale starts moving along for you too! Don't get discouraged keep eating right and drinking lots of water!! :D

Anywhere from 2 weeks to 4+months. I've only had one, but it lasted 7 weeks.

On YouTube Dr. Alvarez does a weekly video. His topic this week is the dreaded stall. It's a really good explanation and should help you feel a little bit better. (no, I don't work for him) ;-)

Stalls SUCK and are mental torture!! LOL

I stalled at week 3 and it lasted for 3 weeks... or something like that. IDK, it's been so long it's hard to remember. But I was pretty traumatized at the time! LOL

Now I am a little over 6 months out and have lost 94 lbs since surgery - 120 all together. I think I am in the midst of my second one - but I mean hey, I can't complain! That type of loss in 6 months is awesome. But I worked for it!

Your scale will start moving again - even though for some people it was impossible to do (like ME!)-- try not to weigh for a week or so - easier said than done, I know.

I was a certifiable scale wh0re - weighed twice a day - now I weigh about twice a week!

Best of luck to you!!!

      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.
