Is it possible to stall at 10 days out?

K. Not to be dramatic. My weight has been the same for the last 3 days. I'm ok with that. Still on full liquids. I actually gained a pound today. What??

Don't weigh yourself daily. Your body weight will change daily depending on time of day, Water weight etc. I weigh myself once a week on the same day at the same time.

I think a better question would be "is it possible NOT to stall at 10 days out!" I stalled around week 2 and my stall lasted for a month. Don't worry about what the scale is doing, your body is changing plenty!

It happens to EVERYONE! Seach the "3 week stall". SUPER common as things heal and get 'organized'. This too shall pass (and you might want to skip weighing yourself every day... if you are)

I gained 10 pounds while in the hospital and had not lost anything in the first 2 weeks. But it all worked out.

Everyone's pattern is different but almost everybody experiences a pause early out.

A stall is three or more weeks at the same weight with no movement. And those happen for most people, too. In fact, my pattern was to stay at one weight, gain during my cycle and to only lose weight in the last week of the month! I also had two nine week stalls along the slow and poky 17 month journey to goal.

The best thing to do is recognize they happen and keep doing what you've been doing. Trust me, you're way too fresh from surgery to be experiencing a genuine stall. Your body is just in shock and is recovering. Once it figures out that you're going to keep on eating and everything is okay, you'll go back to losing.

Good luck and congrats on that sleeve. And do put that scale away. We want to see results every time because we underwent a drastic procedure and we're excited to succeed. But daily weighing in the loss phase can be frustrating and disappointing. There are too many variables that affect your weight and seeing a loss every single time just isn't possible. If it starts to frustrate you or ruin your day, put it away.
