ttdish 315 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I just hit four weeks post- op, and managed to avoid the dreaded three week stall. I'm thanking my lucky stars for that, but I'm not an idiot, I'm sure it will happen eventually. So I'm curious... For those of you who didn't have a week three stall, when did you see your first stall? (Side note: I do realize that others experiences have no impact on what mine will be. I'm just curious.) ~*~ Find me on YouTube: Trisha's Sleeve Story ~*~ Edited September 29, 2015 by ttdish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rnsamantha 352 Posted September 29, 2015 I never had the three week stall either. I'm at 3 months now and seem to be hitting my first one. I'm 5'9.5, SW 259, CW 208.3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted September 29, 2015 I don't know if I had any because I rarely weighed so I always lost when I did BUT I'd say now that it lost 107 lbs and am close to goal I think I've been sitting at numbers longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttdish 315 Posted September 29, 2015 Geez, I'd almost rather have my first stall at 3 weeks than 3 months... At least right now I'm expecting it to happen. If I got to 12 weeks without one, I wouldn't see it coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RickM 1,752 Posted September 29, 2015 I didn't have any stalls until about 3 1/2 months when I didn't lose anything for a week (my definition of a stall) which can probably be chalked up to a bit of Water retention from travelling (higher sodium intake from eating out more, altered activity routine, etc.) Weight loss did slow as expected at the three week point - that's when we typically exhaust our short term energy reserves of glycogen, which burns quickly, and start burning our long term stores of fat, which burns more slowly.

THIS^^^ I can't say I ever had a stall, but I weigh approximately once a month. At 109lbs down the weight loss feels like it has slowed some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about a virtual hug from me? I don't think I could get my foot up high enough to kick you in the pants, nor would I if I could! I'll fall back on my usual questions. Are you getting in all your Protein and Water? What does your NUT recommend? Your positivity and practicality are inspiring to me. I hope you will extend yourself some of that positivity.
