When was your first 'stall' and how long did it last?

Mine began after I had completed my second week post op. Now approaching my 1 month mark and STILL in a stall! It's just starting to piss me off now.

As far as getting past it, did most of you change what you were doing, or just ride it out?

i had mine 2 weeks post which was this week .... i read that i wasnt eating enough so last few days i have been taking in more healthy calories and i am now down 2 pds this morning

Mine was at week 3, lasted 2 weeks. I started making sure I brought my protein up and have strived to get close to fluid and carb intakes and I have continued to drop.

I never had one. I am 6 months out and j have only had one week where I did not lose any weight.

I am pretty sure my calories are too low. I get in my fluids without any problem, and I rarely have anything with carbs. I am not quite at the level of protein I should be at though.

I'm three weeks out and I have been in a stall now for 10 days. I know it's "normal" but it is frustrating. Of course I have convinced myself that I will never loose another pound and that I will be the only person ever sleeved who looses just 20 pounds. Someone gave me some good advice yesterday....stop weighting yourself for a couple of weeks.

Hahahahaha! I think the exact same thing! I feel like I will never lose another pound and I did all of this for 21lbs?! So not worth it! lol When was your surgery? Mine was June 26th and at exactly my 2 week mark I stopped losing. It has been 11 days for me :(

I'm 15 weeks and never had a stall. About every 4 weeks I have a week with no loss, but the next week is a big loss. I'm sure that's hormonal. Weighing once weekly has been a godsend. It's easy to track patterns. I would be a wreck if I weighed every single day, there's no way to track trends. That's crazy!

I was sleeved July 1st - weird that we are both stuck at 21 lbs. I told myself yesterday that I wasn't going to weight myself until the weekend....of course that didn't happen and I weighed myself first thing this morning and still no movement! :angry:

I have been at the same weight for two weeks. Today marks my 4th week out from surgery. What the heck! I'd hope to see more weight loss.

Mine was the 26th too. I'm still sitting here stalled. Going on 2 weeks now. I'm sure a lot has to do with not getting enough Protein. I'm really going to push hard to hit the protein goal this week. Hopefully it will get the scale going in the right direction again.

It happened! It happened! The scale moved 2.5 lbs lost!!! OMG there IS hope you guys! I thought for sure I was stuck at 21 lbs and had been for almost 2 weeks! Keep at it! Don't give up! I am SO excited! If it happened for me, it WILL happen for you! I was laying in bed this morning (Admin Secretary for a k-8 school, so still on vacation) reading your posts and dreading getting up and getting on the scale. But after hitting the restroom (because I must be completely void of every ounce before I weigh) I reluctantly climbed on. And I was shocked! Hang in there ladies, your time is near!
