how long does a stall typically last?

[kc5077 11]

I was sleeved 11/26. I lost six lbs preop, 14 postop. Ive been stalled for 5 days...very discouraging. Ive read about the 3rd week stall. How long will it last? I am walking a mile a day to help but nothing!!!

I'm having the 3rd week stall as well. Everybody is different, so there's no telling how long the stall will be. the best thing to do is track your carbs, make sure you are getting all of your Fluid intake and your protien. If you can start walking longer and faster (amp up the cardio) that will help too.

I am 3 weeks post op, I have not lost anything in 9 days. It psychologically does something to us especially since calorie intake is so slow. A friend said our bodies are still in shock. I did weigh this am and was finally down a pound. Hope the stall is over. So for me it lasted about 9 days. It's totally a bummer but it is totally normal.

It's different for everybody. But take heart, cause when it breaks the scale will plummet. Check out the link in my sig...it has some good info about stalls. The 3 week stall is one you really can't do much about but wait it out. But that's okay. Just be patient and it will move.
