Hey everyone, I am 9 weeks post opp today and I am wondering if I have just hit a stall. Has anyone hit a stall around this time frame? How long did it last? Any typical stall time frames? I did experience the 3 week post opp stall so I'm guessing there is a "stall trend". Thanks in advance!

@@Nikki Monroe - I think your body adjusts (stalls) when it is ready~ regardless of what week it is post-op. That's my opinion. I think as you lose weight your body has to adjust (stall/plateau/etc).

Stay on track: Water, Protein, watch sugars/carbs/calories and keep moving.

Stay off the scale for a few days. Measure yourself, try on old clothes, etc. Inches are just as fabulous to lose as pounds!!!

Breathe - and embrace the stall~

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the weight loss process. Other than a stall at about three weeks post-op, I am not aware of a particular pattern that applies to everyone.

Embrace the Stall!

I've been stalled for weeks but people keep telling me I'm looking fantastic so things are shifting around or something. Need to buckle down and get that walking in to see the scale start moving again.

My friend forced me to take photos and measurements. I am now glad so when I hit a stall then I will take photos and new measurements. But boy oh boy was it hard to take the first photos... Looking at the photos was like looking at a stranger! Did anyone else feel that way?

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
