How long was your "3 week stall"?

I know stalls are inevitable, and I know the dreaded "3 weeks stall" is fairly common, but how long did yours last? I've been gaining/losing the same 4lbs for 2.5 weeks. I've been in contact with my dietician, who slightly altered my plan, but still no change. So how long was your stall?

    Mine was a seven week stall.. Or more! I stopped counting and just ignored the time. It slowly started to come off and I tried to be patient and just work with what I was dealt.

How often did you weigh? Did the weight eventually come off?

Good question, I had surgery on July 8th lost 15 lbs through week 2.(then nothing) I've been at a stall for almost 2 weeks now. I wonder how long it's gonna last. Hummm :-/

I think I remember that your almost a year out, right? How was your weight loss after the stall? My biggest fear is that I went through all of this for nothing. At least I know I'm not alone.

Mine started at week 3 and lasted 4 weeks.

Had sleeve July 8 and been stall for a week and a few days ,I know IM not getting all the water and protein in yet and I havnt started St the Gym again yet so IM not going to worry about it yet

Yeah. Mine started at week 2 and has lasted a few weeks so far. I lost a lot in the beginning (14 lbs before surgery and 17 lbs right after) so I haven't been too worried yet.
