Ever since my weight approached (and subsequently dropped below) 200lbs, I have had periods of multiple weeks where weightless halts. But often, I notice body changes despite scale inaction.

15 days - my first stall at week 6. After that most stalls have ranged from 3-5 days and occur every other week. Average loss a month is between 10-15 lb. I am currently 4 month+ post op.

Hallo

Between month 5 and 7 I had a seven week stall.Then I dropped 14 pounds in 4 days.

Averaged out to 2 pounds a week.

I've just lost nothing for 3 weeks and since 2 days ago dropped 5 pounds.So I still expect more..lol

Three weeks after surgery I stalled for 6 weeks. I thought I was going to lose my mind. I was doing E V E R Y T H I N G perfectly. The scale would not budge. I decided my body just needed to do whatever it needs to do to adjust at that point. It did too.

Had my stall a week after surgery, it broke today so almost 2 weeks stalled. My doc said to eat more and see if that helped and it worked for me!

Mine was a month. I upped my calories and Water and CARBS for a week and it broke. Lost 4 pounds the next week. Water is most important thing that sometimes gets overlooked. Almost all of the posts I read about stalls people say they could do better on water. The more you drink the less your body holds on to. My NUT told me 8 glasses is just an average for everyone, you should drink 1/2 your body weight in water daily. Also stir up your exercise routine. Your body gets used to the same thing every day.

Good luck I know it stinks!

This post is very reassuring. I am 5 1/2 weeks out and have stalled for the last 3. The first few weeks I actually though "Is this it? Is this all I get?" But after speaking to my surgeon u realized its perfectly normal, just goes to show that surgery really isn't the easy way out. If you want ur sleeve to work for u then u have to work for ur sleeve. Being honest I haven't stepped inside the gym in months. Next week I'm going bak into the routine as I will be able to exhert myself to a normal limit. I just keep telling myself that if I just keep doing what I'm doing then the weight WILL come off, it just has to :)

You sound like me. I lost a chunk of weight my first 10 days and then nothing for 2/3 weeks. I upped what I was eating and dropped pounds this week. I just hope it continues. I'll be 6 weeks tues and down 40lbs

I've been in a stall for a week. When I went to the NUT and she said I am way under my protein/water amounts. I'm on week 3. Up my Protein to 60. Water to 40ish but working to get to 64 oz. I hope this will help. Already noticed that my dry mouth and headaches have gone away.

I was doing pretty good up until about a month ago. I have been stuck at 176 lbs. I am going to try to get in more Water, I think that is my main problem and watch the carbs more closely. It is so easy to get depressed but I am trying to stay positve. We'll see what happens.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
