How long does the 3rd week stall last? I want to start losing weight...I feel so discouraged ugh. I've lost about 20lbs so far but I really want to start losing again or I feel like I'm suffering for no reason ????

Can someone tell me how to get off the stall quicker?

It is different for everyone. I stalled for 2 weeks and even gained 2 pounds but I relost it. I am now a little over 5 weeks post op and have lost 20 pounds post op.

Weeks 5 and 6 I lost 2 1/2lbs. But after the stall I lost 5lbs. It's been 2 months and I've lost 38lbs. Trust me, stalls will happen, it's ok. Don't get discouraged. ❤️

I have had two minor stalls since June 10th, when I see a stall I just go back to basics for 2 or 3 days, and continue my activity level, Protein for Breakfast, light lunch, and light protein dinner and lots of fluids, plus 3 days a week at the gym, 388lbs in January, on June 10th surgery date was at 346lbs, then last Monday @ 296lbs, so 92lbs lost since January........ So approximately

11.5lbs per month, so 227lbs by February 2016 then 29lbs more to goal weight if I can keep up this pattern, I think it's reasonable for me, I just don't stop because of stalls, I keep looking ahead and keeping my mind on the goal!!!!?

I'm there with ya. I didn't lose weight for about 11 days but the last couple of days, the scale has gone down a little. Very little, but it's going down. I'm trying to hang in there but it is frustrating for sure.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
