How Long Was Your 3 Week Stall?

[beachgurl84 456]

Hi Everyone,

So I'm 3 weeks post op tomorrow and for the past 6 days I haven't shed even half a pound.

Before everyone chimes in let me give you the info

1) Yes, I know the 3 week stall is perfectly normal and everyone goes through it.

2) Yes, I know you shouldn't weigh yourself every day and I'm not. I'm talking about a span of 6 days here.

3) Yes, I'm wearing the same thing every time I weigh myself.

All that being said, I would like to hear from others about how long your stalls lasted. I thought it would only be 3-4 days but no luck. Am I looking at closer to two weeks or should the scale be moving any day now? I'd like to get an idea so I know when I should start worrying that it may not be the normal 3 weeks stall, but possibly something I'm doing wrong. I'm still struggling to get all my fluids in a day. I get them, but it's a struggle. And I'm getting about 40 g of protien and I can eat about 1/3 of food at a time.

Thanks for any input!

Mine started around the 2 week mark as well and it lasted for 3 weeks. Very frustrating! But since then I've lost steadily each week. I hope I don't hit another stall for a long time.

Hang in there, it really stinks to go through this. I thought I was going to lose my mind.

WOW THREE WEEKS!!! I might die of f frustration if it last that long. I'm not surprised mine started around 2 weeks, cause I dropped 30 pounds since 5 days preop when i started my liquid diet. I just hope that doesn't mean my stall is going to longer to let everything catch up.

Congrats on your steady loss! Hope I can say the same soon.

a little over a week, hate to say but just finished my 4.5 month stall it lasted a week and a half

Mine lasted about 2 weeks. I told my myself before surgery that I knew I would fluctuate dailt as long as it wasn't more than 5lbs I would be just fine. Best advice I've ever given myself lol.

Mine lasted almost a month, but I had lost quite a bit on the way to surgery, so it didn't phase me too much. I wasn't delighted, but it eventually started coming off again.

Sometimes, your body slows down if it's not getting enough Protein and/or fluids.

Ok so I should definitely wait at least a couple weeks apparently before I start changing anything to try to get the scale moving. Depressing but it's only a bump in the road. I can already tell a major difference in the way I feel after losing the 30 immediately following surgery. I just can't wait to see what it feels like with the rest of my weight off.

I'm 3 weeks post op and down 40 lbs, and my stall started four days ago. Still not moving this morning. I've also had two days (not in a row) where I was up like 5 lbs or something crazy and then two days later I'd be back down. Trying not to let it phase me! The last 3 days I have done horribly with liquids and Protein (I usually do great but I just went back to work and it's a bit harder!) so I think that probably has something to do with the stall, too ???? good luck everyone!!!

I'm down 45 pounds since being sleeved October 10, but I'm at a stall that is now into it's 3rd week. When I weigh (first thing in the morning), I could be up a pound or down a few ounces but overall, I'm holding steady. I've been increasing my walking since I haven't been cleared (YET!) to go to the gym.

I think my stall has finally broken after about 10 days!

I am in a week stall right now. Not getting my Protein in or enough Water. Hope it breaks sooon

I lost 22 lbs through the first two weeks post, then stalled at 240 for about 2 and a half weeks. Just started dropping again.

Three weeks. I kept track of my inches lost, during my stall so that I wasn't being tortured by the scale not moving.

I had one at 8 weeks that lasted about a week, and then not again for 12 months. I just kept shrinking.
