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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
