Three Week Stall - How long does it last?

[Lady Pink 3]

I was sleeved on Jan. 22 so I’m 3.5 weeks post-op. Up until Feb. 9^th, I was losing weight at a pretty consistent rate. However, since the 9^th, I’ve been bouncing up and down between 3 pounds. I have heard about and understand the science behind the 3 week stall. I also understand that my body is going under major changes but I’m afraid I’m doing something wrong with my food choices. If it is just a stall, how long do they usually last?

I am starting to get discouraged. I know I wasn’t getting enough Water and Protein so I’ve been very conscientious about meeting the minimums over the last week or so. I have also been experiencing light-headedness. I have emailed my NUT but I don't think I'll hear from her until Tuesday. I figured I'd ask the experts in this group to see if you had any guidance.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm no expert but from your text "tone" you know your doing fine.

Keep Woking on getting in the Protein and Water your body REALLY needs it. This could be the cause of the

lightheadedness.

Please don't be discourages this is just the beginning of the wonderful changes you will go through.

My first stall was for 10 days between weeks 3 and 4. 2nd stall was for 12 days in weeks 11 and 12.

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR, this made me laugh. Not at anyone, just love the response!

Thank you all for the input. I went down a pound outside of my 3 pound range. I'm hopeful today is the beginning of the end of my first stall! I really appreciate the support and laughs!
