I am four weeks out.

I made my husband hide my scale because it didnt move in four days and I freaked out. I googled and it seems lots of people talk about a three week stall.

Did any else experience this?

I am going to the gym 5 times a week and trying to get all my protien in. I am just not sure what to do?

Oh my YES!! I stalled for 3weeks... Completely normal. Don't get discouraged. I am 7 weeks post op and have hit my 2nd stall. I am Down 45lbs and the stall to me is loosing inches time. Your body takes some time catching up to the weight loss.

I am just now starting my third week and my scale has moved in 3 days!!! I was so excited because I was down 9.2 lbs the first two weeks and now I have hit the 3rd week stall. I think I am going to follow your lead and hide my scale!!! I know I am doing everything right, I have cheated and I am exercising 4-5 days per week. Hope this works out. I have this fear buried inside me that I will not lose anymore weight, even though I know logically that is very unlikely.....

3 weeks out and same thing with me I'm scared I will not lose anymore weight

I am four weeks out.

Yes the three week stall is true for most of us, but you will see during this time that the inches are coming off instead of the pounds.

Keep the faith.

Very real. I stalled for a total of 3 weeks. But you will start losing again and soon that stall will be a distant memory.

Yep! I stalled for almost 2 weeks near the end of my 2nd week out. I'm happy to say that my scale is moving down again ever so slightly, but I'll take it! While the scale wouldn't budge, my body has been melting. Since my surgery date (May 20) I've gone from a tight 44DDD to a loose 42DD bra. I've also lost 9 inches from my waist, hips and thighs. I like it! I'm almost 4 weeks out and although I get frustrated at times, I'm pretty happy with the whole process.

I lost 20 lbs the first week and nothing the second. This is week 3 for me and I saw a small drop this morning. I figured it was such a big loss the first week my body had to catch up.

I'm going thru the same thing!! And it's driving me crazy... I was sleeved April 16th and I still have trouble with my intake but still haven't lost anything in 4weeks... I'm so disappointed ...

Glad I'm not the only one in this boat! I'm closing into 2 weeks and I'm at a stall! 12lbs down since surgery (June 3) though!

Hey guys, I am in the same boat too! I am down 9.5lbs from the first 8 days since surgery, but now I am 15 days out and not much has changed. I notice that I am going down like maybe half a pound every two days or so. This seems really slow, is this normal? I am still on liquids only, and I am only eating about 350-400 calories. I thought that I would be losing at least 4-5lbs a week. I don't know, what do you guys think?

Tomorrow is 4 weeks and I haven't lost even 9 pounds. It's pathetic. I thought people meant a stal that happens at your third week and not that you stopped losing weight entirely for at least 3 weeks. I am super disappointed. I keep seeing pictures of people who have lost serious amounts in their first weeks and that is obviously not me.

Here, read this. This explains why it happens:

I am 8 months post op and stalled two weeks after surgery. I didn't lose weight for 6 weeks! But I did lose inches. I was concerned and scared like many of you are. I was eating about 500 -700 calories and had just started adding regular foods back in. I called my NUT and she suggested I add 100-200 cals in healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, etc.). I started losing again and have continued. Steady but slower. Hang in there! The speedy weight loss doesn't continue forever but I figure slower and steady wins the race. I lost 30 pounds preop and 60 postop (Surg date 9/30/14) and still losing.

Is it better to hide the scale for the first month?

@@GirlOnFire yes, or for fhe first three months if you can!
