3 WEEKS OUT AND ALREADY AT A STALL!?!



Recommended Posts

I am sad to say that I am three weeks out and already at a stall. I cant believe this! Is it normal to be at a stall so early in the game?!

I have lost 15 lbs so far but was hoping to hit the 20 mark before the end of my first month. Help! What do I do?!

Do a search on 3 week stall. Lots of threads about this.

Completely normal. Monitor inches/pant sizes during the stall and they should drop.

I vote "normal" too. I too am part of the famous "3 week stall" club. B)

Stick with your post-op guidelines, the weight will start dropping again. I promise. ;)

My first major stall also started at three weeks (as did many others) and lasted almost a month. The weight loss always starts again, so don't get discouraged. Just remember you're on the right path toward health!

That happen to me when I was 3 weeks as well, but calm down is normal. It took me 3 weeks on the same weight, actually no, I gained 3 pounds, and then I lost 5 pounds and next week another two... You just need to relax, relax and relax... Stress can cause that, your body is new now, everything is new and is in shock so you need to give him time to realized this is the way is going to perform now. What help me to brake that stall was: I increase my Protein doses, I stop eating carbs after 3 pm, start drinking a green juice every morning and night (3oz kale, cucumber, green apple, pear and lemon) it also help me to go very regular to the bathroom every 3 days and even that you may not loose weight you are loosing measurements.... So take it easy sister lol you will be ok!!!! Remember is a surgery is not magic... Keep doing your diet, drink a lot of Water ( put lemon on it it helps) and walk walk walk.... I'm today on my seven week and lost a total of 38 pounds so far, hope this help you a little bit xoxo

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
