3 Week Stall



Recommended Posts

I have seen posts throughout this site about the 3rd week stall that everyone seems to get, but is there anything I can do to get past this ? Is this just a waiting game? What exactly should I do and how many more times will this happen? Please help everyone.

Thanks.

Mick...This too will pass. I'm not sure you can prevent stalls, you're body is adjusting. My three week stall came and went rather quickly, and truly was a non event.

Enjoy the ride!!

Fit.

I'm going thru the stall now. I will be 3 weeks out on Monday. I hope it gets over with quickly...I like seeing the scale move on a downward spiral!!!!!!

I was in a stall for 7 days (from 2.5-3.5 weeks post surgery). Finally today I dropped a pound so hopefully things will stat happening again. If I didn't know it was normal I would have been upset. It is, what it is. Just hang on. It will pass.

count me in. I guess with dropping SO much the first week or two, our body needs to regulate or settle down or something!! I felt comforted that I read so much on here about it and am just trying to be patient. I think getting enough fluids in will make the difference, but that is a challenge for me. :rolleyes:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
