Hi guys!

I am currently a couple days from being a month out. I have lost about 23 pounds. I have noticed that my weight has been lingering in the same area for the past 1-2 weeks. Most of my weight loss happened in the first one 10 days post op. I have heard of the 3rd week stall but how long does this thing last? I am on soft food at the moment.

Best,

Sanju

The Week 3 Stall can last as little as a few days or as much as a few weeks. There is nothing for it but to stick to your plan, get your Protein and Water in, walk as much as you can, and wait it out. Oh, and definitely stay off the scale!

it seems like it lasts forever! worst part of the process. i think mine lasted 2 weeks and it won't be the last stall but just keep doing all the right things and the weight will start moving again. i promise.

As I was once told here, ignore the scale and embrace the stall. This is an opportunity for you to stay focused on your goal and continue to build good habits. Your body is adjusting - it will tick up sometimes, but you are going to be seeing consistent loss eventually.

How long your stalls last could depend on your habits and/or your physiology. Just stick to the plan and the weight will melt off.

My third week stall lasted two whole weeks.

Stalls are like lovers. Your first will probably not be be your last.

I agree with everything above. Also I suggest getting out a tape measure and getting your measurements. When the scale doesn't move, your body still does! It's good affirmation that you're still on track.

Oh yeah. If you haven't done so already, take your measurements and keep them in a spreadsheet. Try to take them on the same day of each month. It will definitely make you feel better when the scale is being mean.

My three week stall lasted forever (almost 3 weeks lol). Stay focused on the program and it'll break. During my stall the scale did not move but my body was chafing. I lost inches but no weight. Stay hydrated and meet all your goals. Increasing my Protein intake is what broke mine. Best of luck!

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
