how long will this stall last?



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved 12/10 lost 16lbs the first week and a half. Haven't lost a thing since. Some days it goes up a pound or so then we'll come back down. But hasn't gone any lower than my initial lowest.

I've been following my plan, I'm on purees now, should I be concerned or is this normal?

I was thinking maybe I would call my nut on Monday just to check with them.

Any thoughts? I hear about the 3 week stall how long does it last?

I'm not even sleeved yet and I'm enduring a long stall. I'm on 800 calories a day and lost 20 pounds during the first two weeks.... Then GAINED a couple back and now I'm just sitting at the same weight for the past two and a half weeks. I'm praying for this to end soon. I KNOW it's normal but I don't have to LIKE it!!!

I'm at about 5 and half months, I stalled around 3 and half and I'm STILL STALLED. I'm super irritated. It's not suppose to last for 2 months.

I stalled about the same time! It lasted a month, and then finally I lost 2 pounds. It is so frustrating, because you get used to the numbers falling and the weight going away then bam.. nothing.

I just try really hard to change something from what I've been doing, and that always seems to get the scale moving again.

Thanks all. And sorry to those that are stalling as well.

I just thought it would come off a little faster.

For me it was like I would lose weight then stall as I lost inches... It's like I lost fat and then my remaining fat moved around before losing more??? It's not scientific but that's what it seemed to me.... You will lose just give it some time.... 126 lost and very happy. I had many stalls though!!!

I agree. I just sit down today and cried. I dropped a size in shirts, but I want to see those pounds moving again.

      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.
