Most people have a stall at around the three week mark, but stalls can come anytime. Most people are stairstep losers - lose a bunch and then rest for a week or two, then lose some more and rest. I am one of the abberations who didn't really have any stalls (only one week where I didn't lose anything) during my entire loss period.

First off congrats on your 50 lbs in 6 weeks. That is amazing. Im just over two months out and have stalled twice at weeks 3 and week 7. When I started working out hard at the gym during week 7 my body stalled again trying to fight due to all the calories I'm losing. Youre doing great. Keep up the outstanding job.

Stalls can come at any time. I've seen people that stalled almost immediately after surgery. And then then there is people like me, I didn't stall till I hit 3 1/2 months then I stalled for 7 weeks. Keep the faith , you be vigilant in doing your part and your sleeve will not let you down.

I wish my stall didn't start until 6 weeks out. Try 10 days Post Op then you can complain about it being early ;)

At 10 days out you are still on liquids. I had the same problem but that all changed when I finally got to start eating food again! Just wait and it will happen!

A 7 week long stall. That must have been tough, mentally.

It was frustrating. But I've seen stalls that were 4 months & I knew I hadn't stalled yet, so I didn't allow myself to get discouraged. I just really hated posting every week that I was "still stalled". I really felt bad puting that out there as I was afraid it could discourage others.

I hadn't stalled once, now I'm 3.5 months out and in my 3rd week of this stall. It's annoying jumping on the scales and not seeing them move, but I have lost a lot so far, so as long as I'm not gaining, I'm ok.

I stalled the entire 3rd month, but went down 4 pant sizes. Just busted the stall yesterday. All the sudden 4 lbs gone in 3 days. Yay!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
