Stall [emoji15]

[cinderella8 15]

I was sleeved on Dec 5. Lost 24.7 pounds but now, 22 days in have stalled. I am trying not to feel discouraged but I think I got spoiled watching the weight fall off. I am just moving into soft food stage.

How long do these stalls usually last? Anything to do to keep the weight dropping? Please share your experiences. Makes me feel better. Tia. ????

Your body is healing and adjusting. You do your part by sticking to plan and meeting Protein and Water goals. The weight will come off over time. My first stall lasted 2 weeks.

I was the seventh and just about to post this exact same thing - I had lost 14 pounds at two weeks post op ( I started at 223 so the slower loss is expected ) and haven't lost a single pound from week two to week three. I've heard of the three week stall but I too was so used to watching the scale go down - I'm still on purée and was on liquids for two weeks- all I've had so far in the purée stage is cream of chicken and mashed potatoes one time and an egg one time ( I couldn't even finish half the egg) so I haven't "cheated" per say - this sure is annoying to say the least- I was hopeful to see a one on the scale for the new year and at this rate I'll be lucky to even loose a pound :/

I was sleeved 11/29 and I hit my first stall two weeks ago at two weeks post-op. I know it's normal. I know my body is fighting what is happening. I know it is medically impossible for me not to lose more... But this stall is driving me mad. I think the fact that it is around the holidays that I began my journey and I am still struggling a little mentally definitely contributes to my current 'mad' state. I have a follow up today so I am hoping for some amazing words of wisdom!

Use the search function and look for "Embrace the Stall." There is a lot of good posts, especially from InnerSurferGirl that might help.

I was also sleeved December 5th and I have been stalled the last few days. I read about the three week stall a lot on here and how long it lasts seems to vary from person to person. It seems perfectly normal though. My advice is to just stick to your plan and in the mean time keep track of your measurements because a lot of times even if you are not losing pounds you are still losing inches.
