Jhejduk 8 Posted July 10, 2016 I had my vsg June 23rd. 349 starting weight, 319 at surgery, currently 299. Boy it's great not looking at that 3 at the front of the scale... never again! I have been stuck at 299 for about 6 days but I understand the "3 week stall" is quite common... Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am right there with you on the stall. 5 days, however, dropped 1/2 pound since yesterday so maybe it is over! Have followup with surgeon on Tues. Should have been last week but he was on vacation. Am interested in what he has to say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShelterDog64 2,364 Posted July 10, 2016 I think my 3 week stall has begun...I was losing 1lb/day, then lost 3 Friday and the scale hasn't budged since. I'm writing down everything that goes in my mouth, so I know it's not something I'm doing but it was fun watching the weight go down vs seeing the same number. I'm betting on 5 days then I'm back being a loser! Happy Sunday, everyone! And Maggie, are you ok? I've been wondering... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jhejduk 8 Posted July 10, 2016 Shelter dog, I've read probably 50 people say they stall at 3 weeks or so. For both our sanity just know that it is very common and probably nothing related to what we are doing... but Journaling never hurts!

ShelterDog64 2,364 Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) @@Jhejduk Yep, the journaling is for my own sanity...I always doubt myself first when things aren't going as they should be! Thanks for the support! Edited July 10, 2016 by ShelterDog64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfipilot 44 Posted July 10, 2016 I guess a lot of us are on that 3rd week stall. I been at the same weight for the past 4 days. We'll see how long it last. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chycky 671 Posted July 10, 2016 So do we count like in soccer? If I am past 14 days I am "in" week 3 or is the stalk between 21-28 days . Just wondering because I just broke 5 day stall on day 19. Sure there will be more stalls. Thanks for everyone's comments it is so good to read from those in same boat!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

APanda911 80 Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) So what is everybody's daily food routine looking like right now? Here's mine: Protein shake (premier Protein - 30g protein) for Breakfast and a small cup of coffee cheese stick or slice of cheese for snack/sometimes this is my lunch bc im too full to eat lunch..if I do have lunch it's a slice of organic turkey lunchmeat. Protein Shake blended with ice and banana in the afternoon Pick at whatever dinner that I've made for my family in the evening...and that's it! And of course Water, Water, water during the day It's hard to get protein and calories in!!!

I'm taking my Vitamins religiously and pushing water as much as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susie66 58 Posted July 11, 2016 My scale went up by a pound today. I know it isn't because of me overeating----I just have to quit obsessing over the scale and stop stepping on it 10 times a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
