How long did your 3 week post op stall last?



Recommended Posts

I was all prepared for the stall I would encounter in my 3rd week post op as I've read extensively about it on here. What I haven't seen, is how long did it last before you started losing again? Right now I've been stalled for 5 days.

TBH, I stalled for the first 3-4 weeks post op. I lost the Water weight after surgery, then...waiting...waiting...waiting...The scale didn't budge for about 3 weeks, I thought my sleeve was "broken", my therapist and my fiancee were trying to get me to chill out & stop weighing myself, so I did. I did not step on a scale from around week 2-3 to week 5, and that's when I noticed I had a big loss. So, I stalled for almost 3 weeks but that seems so far away and in the past now, even though it was less than 4 months ago. I've had 2 more stalls since then...including this week. Can't seem to break into Onederland for the life of me...practicing patience. Good luck on your journey!

I weighed for the first time four weeks after surgery, then not again until 8 weeks, then not again until 12 weeks. So if I was having any stalls during that time, I was completely unaware of them or how long they might be lasting. My unasked-for advice is to stay off the scale for the next 2-3 weeks before you drive yourself nuts ;)

I never had a stall, I would lose at least 1-4 pound a week after surgery. Im 6 months out.

A little over two and a half weeks.

      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.
