Hi there,

I was losing pretty steadily until about 3 days ago and its just stopped. I'm 13 days post op and have lost 16 pounds so far so I'm not disappointed, I just don't know why it's stopped. Is this normal'ish??

They say there's a 3rd week stall. We're coming up on that. I've read that it passes eventually. So far I'm still losing and have lost 28 pounds.

I skipped the 3 weeks stall and had it on my week 5, it lasted about 2.5 weeks, today the scale moved again about 2.5 lbs

Damn, 2.5 weeks? That's crazy. I hope mine doesn't last that long.

Wow!!! That's amazing,congrats. If you don't mind me asking, what was your starting weight? I am thinking that I'm not eating enough too. I usually can get down 1 Protein shake and a couple spoonfuls of cottage cheese. I will also have a sugar free Popsicle but that's about it. What do you think?

Yikes, 2.5 weeks?!?! I should probably only weigh once a week.

Thanks! My starting weight was 338 lbs and I'm 6 ft tall. I mostly get in three meals a day which consists of 4 oz of protein each. I also have a Popsicle as well. Otherwise thats about it.

The grams of protein all depend on what I'm eating. I eat chicken, eggs, tuna, and cheese. Add cheese to almost everything and it adds in protein as well as calories. I do have Protein Shakes every now and then.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. Everyone stalls and just about everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program.

Track your food.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and at least 64 oz of Fluid.

Avoid added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup), starches, and fried foods.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

Exercise when cleared.

Stay off the scale.

And, Embrace the Stall

Thanks @@Inner Surfer Girl! I haven't heard of a stall this soon in. I will try to focus on getting enough protein because I'm doing everything else right, especially my h2o intake.

Congrats on your achievement so far! My surgeon told me to write myself a note and put it somewhere I'd see it regularly that 2-3 weeks following surgery my weight loss would stop. He said it's the body taking a moment to sort of recalibrate itself after such a big loss so quickly. It's nothing worry about and totally normal. It will kick back into gear again soon.

I've now hit a stall as well. Two weeks post op today and scale hasn't moved in two days. So I'll see how long this lasts.

That's awesome. I wish I was given the heads up like that. I may weigh tomorrow and see if the scale has moved.

Is it possible to have a 3 week stall in your 10th month post op? I am not losing weight anymore, its been a week, I think.
