I think nearly every single one of us has experienced a stall at one point or another. I'd say about 90% of us go through the Week 3 stall around three weeks post-op. Very few people escape that one. And for that one you really need to just stick to your surgeon's post-op plan, get your Protein and Water in, walk as much as possible, take your Vitamins, and give your body time to heal and recover.

If you are further out and experiencing a stall, there are several things you can do.

  • Wait it out. If it's only a week or two, your body might just be adjusting, so just stick to your plan and see if the scale starts moving again on its own.
  • shake things up. If you've been in a rut with your food and exercise routine, maybe just try to shake things up a bit. Try a new workout. Try working out in the morning instead of the evening or vice versa. Try some new foods.
  • Take a scientific approach. Really start tracking every bite of food, sip of Water, and minute of exercise and see if you can identify what the problem might be. Are you meeting your Protein goals? Are you eating too much or too little? Are you exercising too much or too little? Are you eating too many carbs? Are you eating too much sugar? Are you not drinking enough water?

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