Had surgery on June 10th of this year so I am 5 weeks out as of today. I went in for my one month follow up last week and was the exact same weight as my one week follow up and the doc wasn't concerned one bit...I however was like wth? Now one week later still stalled...this scale isn't budging. Also to add to my frustration I am on a birth control that stopped by periods a few years ago and since one week out of surgery my period as been constant, never letting up...again wth? Is this my body still adjusting after surgery? I have read other peoples stalls and gains but not sure I've seen someone stall for this long. Help a girl out lol

I was also sleeved June 10th and had a stall that started just after week 3 lasted 9-10 days. I just started losing again earlier this week. I was reading more about stalls here on the boards and started upping my Water intake. It was @@Rogofulm who posted this - http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.php - about why you need lots of water when losing weight. It helped me a lot. You will make it through, try not to worry too much or feel bad during the stall.

Thank you. I was expecting the 3 week stall that everyone was talking about but mine started early and hasn't let up. The link was helpful as well. I find myself hurrying to bed in hopes that I'll wake up and see a pound loss :/ I'll just keep riding it out and try and up my water intake.

I just looked last night and it's the beans! I am going to quit that

Ok so after 24 days of the same weight I woke up -2 lbs!! Thank you sweet baby jesus. 2lbs is nothing for some people but it's pretty major for me. Now let's hope it stays off thanks for everyone's encouragement and advice.

okay...almost a week later and my 2lbs are gained back. Talk about frustration to the fullest.

At three weeks I stalled for two and a half weeks. And I just got through another two week stall (I'm 14 weeks out today and down 50 pounds). The stalls end. They suck, but they're temporary and you're not doing anything wrong.

I'm so bummed. I'm 6 weeks post op today and at the exact same weight as 1 week post op. How does one stall for 5 weeks??

A 5 week stall that early out doesn't seem quite right to me. Everyone is different though. Are you recording your food, water, protein and calories?

I sure am. Brought it in to my doc at my 3 week appointment and he said the only thing I may want to do is increase increase my calories but I find that hard when I'm eating so little. There's been days my protein is all the way up to 90 with 50-60 oz of water as well..

He also mentioned because I was pretty darn healthy before surgery I may be a slower loser which bummed me out..but I'm not losing anything at all.

Wow. That is crazy but I totally believe it happens. I am in my second stall and I actually gained a pound. Keep your head up. It will all work itself out

I know I've lost inches because things fit a bit more loose, I wish I would have done measurements before hand but to stand on the scale and be the same exact weight still is just depressing. I guess I just have to ride it out and keep doing what I know I'm supposed to do and see what happens.

Good luck with your stall!

Yeah I didn't do measurements either and wish I did

I have a feeling that whatever is going on with your GYN problem could be the culprit. I would insist on seeing someone on call if you have been flowing that long, I would not wait another two weeks. As far as the advice of not using any artificial sweetners I have never heard that advice that it stops weight loss. My paperwork says crystal light and sugar free stuff all over it. I use mio drops and crystal light all day long and I seem to be on track. Is there some research that I could read that proves that theory? Not being argumentative, seriously curious.
