Yesterday was three weeks post-op, and the scale hasn't moved for a few days. I figure that this is (insert dramatic music here) the dreaded 3-week stall. If it weren't for you wonderful people on this forum, I would've been convinced that I was eating too much (600 calories a day?), had already stretched out my sleeve, I was a complete failure already, I would be the only one the sleeve wouldn't work for, and the Earth was falling into the Sun.

But no. Because of you all, I knew what to expect. Last week, I took measurements, I've put away the scale until next week, and I'm going to keep plugging away at following the rules.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Good for you for putting the scale away. I just couldn't do it when I was in my 3rd wk stall. I guess like self torture....lol

It won't last forever, I promise!

Big hugs,

Lisa

^{I agree. My surgery date was teh 13th. I am in day 5 of a Stall! ugh... but I am pllugging away knowing that this too shall pass!.}

^{Thanks Everyone}

I just got on the scale today, and it was thereee! a stalll, hope it goes away sooooon

I'm with youuiuuuuuu!

I just got over a stall, I lost 3 lbs over night. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy! I did ask my doc about triggering a weight loss and they told me to go back to liquids. I did, I was in a stall for about a week. I love, now I have a plan for stalls. Thanks everyone and congrats on being in the BIGGEST LOSER ClUB!

I never heard of the 3 week stall but I have also suffered from the apparent dark hole. I thought that it was the little extra cheese that I had on New Years Eve along with my blended chili. I too am not going to get close to the scale for another week. I am no different and can get discouraged when I am doing so well and them....bam!!!!!

I am glad to hear that this has happened to other people and I am not alone in this.....thanks for sharing.

I hear ya, girl! I"m so glad I heard about the 3 week stall. I had my sleeve 12/12 and I "only" lost 17lbs since my surgery. I'm still grateful, but I want this fast! For the past week My scale has only crept along. I, Too, hope this is going to work. and I've worried that it won't.
