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:

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
