3 day stall already at 21 days out?



Recommended Posts

Did anyone else have any stalls around 3 weeks? For the past 3 days I have not lost 1 pound. I am following directions with walking daily to a T. Getting frustrated.

The Week 3 stall is legendary. Mine lasted a couple of weeks. Don't be discouraged though. Just keep following your program while your body adapts to all the changes and it will reward you by shedding pounds. Take good care of yourself!

I had 3 week stall, like majority of people. Your body says " what the heck" and going on strike :) I am slow loser and I stall every other week for a week. Everybody is different, but remember that this too, shall pass. You'll start losing again!

I understand how you feel I stalled going in to week 3 I have not lost anything in 8 days. At first I was ok I knew I would stall at some time but now I am getting depressed about it. My energy level is bad and not losing any weight does not happen ready for a change!

I was the same way. I knew there would be stalls, but I wasn't emotionally prepared to look at the scale and see the same number for 4-7 days straight! It is REALLY hard, but it will pass :) A lot of people have experienced a bigger loss in inches during weight stalls...so there is a silver lining :) Keep doing what you're doing...this too shall pass.

So what do you consider a stall? Just curious.

I think it depends on the person & their personal progress so far....I personally used to consider a stall to be no weight loss in 3+ days because I typically saw the number on the scale dropping on a daily basis. However, as I get further out, it is common for me to notice weight loss every 2-4 days... so now I consider a stall 1 week without loss.

Its normal I have been almost 3 weeks Sunday will be 3 weeks on the same weigth :(

But with the support im recieving here from people that are bypass success im starting to learn that its a process and we have to be patience and follow the doctors diet :) the stall will go away when our body consider its time to start loosing 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.

      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.
