I was sleeved on Sept 18 and have lost 20 lbs since. Two week ago I stopped losing weight. I have read many post saying this is normal. My question is?? How long so they usually last. I'm ready to see that scale move????????

Hi VGS on 8/29 and I was stalled for about 2 wks after I started full liquids. I always measure myself when I have a stall and I see that I am losing inches. I went from a 24 sz pants to 16 and 3x to 1x blouses. Bra sz from 48dd to 42dd. Day before surgery I was 213, my highest wgt was 243 in 2005 and today 195.4. So slow on wgt loss but lots of inches. Hang in there things will start moving. I just make sure I have enough Protein everyday. Stick to your MD's or NUT's orders.

It can lost 2-3 days or 2-3 wks. Each and every stall is different. Taking your measurements and see if you are losing inches....hang in there...

Mine started after week two and lasted four to five weeks. I didn't lose that many inches during that time either. But when my stall broke I lost 12 lbs in 14 days and the loss has been pretty steady since then, with a few shorter stalls. Just give it time.

Hey Newbie

Stalls can last different time periods for different sleevers.

Since you are relatively new to WLS, 2 weeks stalled, i would venture to "guess" within a couple of weeks the scale will probably start moving again. gotta be patient

that being said..... the last few lbs are hard to get rid of

i have 10 lbs til goal ------------i've been stallllled for 2 months + , do you hear me screaming?

of course not, i shut the door :lol:

good luck

Thanks for all your replies. I gues I'm just impatient, I waited so long for the surgery I just wanted to lose fast.

I know this had to take patience. 4-5 week stall? I'm two days past two weeks and have been in a stall for about 4 days. I can't complain though because I am down almost 20 pounds since surgery and that's pretty good. Like everyone states, I think my body is trying to catch up, but I can certainly feel a difference in my clothes. Good luck to everyone out there....If you're in a stall... I'm right there with ya... let's be patient and get through this. We CAN do this!!! Thanks to all the Vets out there with their insights.
