Could my hormone injections cause my weight loss stall ? I am 4 weeks post op. I have read about the 3 week stall. I had surgery on Oct. 8 and I took my injection on Oct. 23 and have been stalled since then. I have lost about 20 pounds, but scales has not moved since injection. Very frustrated.

I took depo in 1994-1997 gained 80 lbs from it. I was not a wls patient then. I just know i gained lots of weight from it.

This could be the famous 3 week stall period.......

Eat healthy, drink a lot of water and exercise.........

It can't make you stall but can increase your appetite. Keep an eye on your calorie intake.

I was sleeved 10/9 and yes I have been on the stall as well so I think is just part of the journey and I'm also on birth control so I guess we just have to keep doing the right thing and hopefully we will get out of this stall soon.

I never had weight problems UNTIL I got on depo and it made me gain 48 lbs and I only had 2 shots. It made me very hungry. Definitely watch your calories while on it. No one could pay me to ever get a depo shot. I always wonder what my weight would of been if I had never used it.

I was sleeved 9/26/12 I am on the shot had it a few weeks before my sleeve I will not be getting it again. Now I have been on it for 5 years so I do love it but do not love the Side effects weight gain slow weight loss. DH got a vasectomy today so I would not have to worrie today I was due for my shot he did this instead.
