I just hit four weeks post- op, and managed to avoid the dreaded three week stall. I'm thanking my lucky stars for that, but I'm not an idiot, I'm sure it will happen eventually.

So I'm curious... For those of you who didn't have a week three stall, when did you see your first stall?

(Side note: I do realize that others experiences have no impact on what mine will be. I'm just curious.)

I'm 2 months out and I've yet to have a stall! I'm sure it will come soon

4-5 week stall for me

Mine hit at week 4-5 also

@@samskiles What was your surgery date? We are the same height. What is you weight now? Are you still at a stall?

I never had the three week stall either. I'm at 3 months now and seem to be hitting my first one. I'm 5'9.5, SW 259, CW 208.3

I don't know if I had any because I rarely weighed so I always lost when I did BUT I'd say now that it lost 107 lbs and am close to goal I think I've been sitting at numbers longer.

Geez, I'd almost rather have my first stall at 3 weeks than 3 months... At least right now I'm expecting it to happen. If I got to 12 weeks without one, I wouldn't see it coming.

My surgery date was 8-11-15. I am currently at 298.2

I didn't have any stalls until about 3 1/2 months when I didn't lose anything for a week (my definition of a stall) which can probably be chalked up to a bit of water retention from travelling (higher sodium intake from eating out more, altered activity routine, etc.) Weight loss did slow as expected at the three week point - that's when we typically exhaust our short term energy reserves of glycogen, which burns quickly, and start burning our long term stores of fat, which burns more slowly.

THIS^^^ I can't say I ever had a stall, but I weigh approximately once a month. At 109lbs down the weight loss feels like it has slowed some.

How about a virtual hug from me? I don't think I could get my foot up high enough to kick you in the pants, nor would I if I could!

I'll fall back on my usual questions.

Are you getting in all your Protein and Water? What does your NUT recommend?

Your positivity and practicality are inspiring to me. I hope you will extend yourself some of that positivity.

I never really did. Just kept losing.

I never hit a stall... I'm at three months now.... But I drink two protein shakes a day to get my calories in for the day.

Cause fat wants to stick around.

You'll do this, I'm sure!
