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.

Lasted an entire week for me. Stalled again around 8 weeks.

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:

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
