Yes, search for "3 week stall". You will see hundreds of posts about it.

Most of us have had this happen.

I was sleeved on February 16. I went from 278 to 254 in the first two weeks. Since then I have not lost anything. I am in the same boat.

When I started my pre op diet I was 285 the day of surgery I weighed 271 and I was sleeved 2/25 I now weigh 258 but I also have noticed that I'm not losing steadily it stops and goes often but when I'm losing its a lb a day

I have only lost like 12 lbs I am still doing everything I am suppose to just hoping it starts up again. 12 lbs is nothing to what I want to lose

Check out the topic I started with a graph I made of one year of weight loss. You will see that stalls are very common. There can be other reasons for long-term stalls (1+ months), but if you are following your surgeon/nutritionist's prescribed nutrition/exercise plan, then you weight loss should resume within a few weeks after the stall has started.

Congratulations! You have reached The Dreaded Week-3 Stall. It's perfectly normal, and just about all of us have suffered through it. You're not crazy, and your doctor didn't screw up. In fact, you might not lose any weight for two weeks or even longer. But don't worry – after that, the pounds will start falling off if you stick to your program. And, the inches will continue to come off even while the scale isn't budging. Here's a good article that explains why it happens and why we all have to go through it. Hang in there. Pretty soon it'll be in the rear-view mirror and you'll be dropping weight again!

(Apologies to BP regulars who have seen this repeatedly, but it's a big deal to those who are going through it!)

@@Rogofulm Thank you for being the one man "dreaded 3 week stall" campaign!

It's awesome :)

Only thing to add is that once you are maintaining your new trim figure, you won't even remember stalls etc... take the long view and this stuff just doesn't matter!
