No three week stall... When?



Recommended Posts

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.)

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

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.

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.

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.

@@BLERDgirl I need a kick in the pants to get this last 20 off. It's such a small number compared to what I started with. Why is this so dang hard?!

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
