3 weeks post op

[emily.paige 5]

I am now 3 weeks post op and I am experiencing a stall on my weight loss... Did this happen to anyone else? I feel like it's really early to already have a stall. How long did everyone else's stall last and how early was your first stall after surgery?

Hi Emily

Almost everyone =) search the topic on here, you will find plenty of lamenting and some in depth explanations about why it occurs. Usually lasts for about 7-10 days but can be longer

Good luck girly

It's so common it even has a name! "The Dreaded Three Week Stall" Most everyone goes through it, and everyone gets through it! There is a sub forum called "Don't Sweat the Stall Stuff" you might want to check out. No fear! Keep doing what your doing and you'll get through it in a week or two...

Yep, in fact I'm planning on it!

I had a 5 day stall my second week post op. Just trust the process and follow your plan. It will pass. If you measure I bet you see that you have lost some inches even if you haven't slot anything on the scale.

Going thru it right now.. It sucks because it's right about the same time on my plan when I can start testing new foods. Was it the retried Beans? Or the tuna fish.... Luckily I log everything and know I'm at only 600 calories a day so this to shall pass...

I stalled for a few weeks!! It was frustrating. But it passes. Just keep doing what u are supposed to do. This week 5 pounds just disappeared but in my 3 week stall I lost like 1-2. Lol it's your body adjusting, all normal.

My three week stall is over!! I wanted to cry like a two year old I had lost 16 lbs and then bam was stuck. I thought I was the exception I was gonna be fat forever. I was weighing myself multiple times during the day. Heck my scale said gained two pounds. Well today I'm back to loosing. And I know it's over!!

I feel very fortunate that I never hit a stall. The scale steadily went down. I am 3.7 pounds from goal weight and the scale hasn't moved in about a week. I don't know how people who hit the stalls got through it. It is by the grace of God I did t get them because he knows how inpatient I can be. Thank you God!
