3 WEEKS OUT AND ALREADY AT A STALL!?!



Recommended Posts

I am sad to say that I am three weeks out and already at a stall. I cant believe this! Is it normal to be at a stall so early in the game?!

I have lost 15 lbs so far but was hoping to hit the 20 mark before the end of my first month. Help! What do I do?!

Do a search on 3 week stall. Lots of threads about this.

Completely normal. Monitor inches/pant sizes during the stall and they should drop.

I vote "normal" too. I too am part of the famous "3 week stall" club. B)

Stick with your post-op guidelines, the weight will start dropping again. I promise. ;)

My first major stall also started at three weeks (as did many others) and lasted almost a month. The weight loss always starts again, so don't get discouraged. Just remember you're on the right path toward health!

That happen to me when I was 3 weeks as well, but calm down is normal. It took me 3 weeks on the same weight, actually no, I gained 3 pounds, and then I lost 5 pounds and next week another two... You just need to relax, relax and relax... Stress can cause that, your body is new now, everything is new and is in shock so you need to give him time to realized this is the way is going to perform now. What help me to brake that stall was: I increase my Protein doses, I stop eating carbs after 3 pm, start drinking a green juice every morning and night (3oz kale, cucumber, green apple, pear and lemon) it also help me to go very regular to the bathroom every 3 days and even that you may not loose weight you are loosing measurements.... So take it easy sister lol you will be ok!!!! Remember is a surgery is not magic... Keep doing your diet, drink a lot of Water ( put lemon on it it helps) and walk walk walk.... I'm today on my seven week and lost a total of 38 pounds so far, hope this help you a little bit xoxo

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
