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?

Depends on the person. Mine was about 2 weeks. I gained 2 pounds, but went down a size anyway :P

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 am right at 3 month post op. I have been on a stall for 5 or 6 weeks now, but I have also lost a size in shirts. Other people can tell I am losing weight. scales is not showing it though.

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.

      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.
