catwoman7 11,221 Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) your stall is actually late - most people have their first major stall around the three week mark (in fact, if you search this site for info on the "three week stall", you will find over 17,000 posts on it. And no, I am NOT kidding...) actually, I just decided to do the search for you. Here you go - 17,501 posts now! https://www.bariatricpal.com/search/?q=three week stall Edited January 7, 2023 by catwoman7 1 Tomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bettyboop56 33 Posted January 8, 2023 I'm post-op 10/19. Stalled 2 weeks then bam down 4.5#. Down 40#. After 7 weeks it has jumped by at least 3#. Patience. I'm on regular food now and using Myfitness to see how much Protein fat, calories and carbs I'm getting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeanniebug 476 Posted January 8, 2023 My first stall happened about 2 weeks post surgery and lasted about a month. Now, I seem to stall about every other week. *shrug* As long as I'm staying on track, I'm not worried. The weight is coming off - even if it's a bit slower than I'd like. 2 Tomo and qtdoll reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Brecher 10,515 Posted January 9, 2023 It's not uncommon for weight loss to slow down or plateau after initial rapid weight loss. There could be a variety of reasons for this, including physiological changes in the body, changes in activity levels or physical activity, changes in diet, or even certain medications or medical conditions. It's important to remember that weight loss after surgery is a journey, and it's not uncommon to have ups and downs along the way. It's important to focus on making healthy lifestyle changes that are sustainable over the long term, rather than trying to achieve rapid weight loss. If you're concerned about your weight loss progress, it's a good idea to talk to your surgeon or another healthcare professional for guidance. They can help you identify any potential issues and work with you to develop a plan to help you reach your goals. 1 Tomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
