There are some people on here who have explained it really eloquently - I can't do that, lol. Basically a good majority of people experience a stall sometime around the 3rd week and how long it might last varies widely. Mine started a couple of days prior to week 3 and I'll be 4 weeks on Tuesday, still sitting at the same weight. Some people even gain a couple of pounds.

If it hits you, just keep following the plan - once your body catches up with itself, it'll start coming off again!

I hit mine a couple of days before my 3rd week post-op...scale didn't move for a week. I ended up losing 6 lbs after 7 days of nothing.

I'm right at my 3 weeks and was discouraged the scale hasn't moved but now reading this I don't feel so upset

I hit my 3rd week and the stall too it's been almost three weeks on exactly the same weight not loosing or gaining any pound, but they said sometimes is normal and is only the first one of many more to come! Good luck

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
