Just curious, from everyone's personal experience, how long does the famous 3rd week stall last?

I am also 3 weeks post-op and am experiencing a stall. You are not alone! My scale hasn't moved this week.

I just say my body is on hold. My longest hold was 4 days so far but there have been a couple of 3 days too. I am averaging 1 pound lost every 2 days since surgery (17 pounds since surgery). When the hold is over the weight loss catches up. As long as you are not eating crazy amounts of food your body will have no choice but to release the weight. When it is ready of course.

Give it time... Just keep doing what you are supposed to be doing... and the scale will have no choice but to move... my 3week stall lasted about 10 days... then another stall about 6 /7 weeks out... but your body will catch up... just don't watch the scale. take pride in the non scale victories - you maybe losing inches and not even realize it :)

(i found if i do 3 days of Protein shakes, it helps kick start the weight loss train... but at 3 weeks out, you are prob tired of them) :wacko:

      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.
