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??

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.

By definition, a stall is longer than a week.

The "three week stall" is called that because it usually happens about three weeks after surgery, not because it lasts three weeks. The three week stall is where your body replenishes the energy/fluid that is stored in your liver that was depleted during the pre-op diet and post-op. It is possible that your body is doing the same thing now. It is also possible that your body just needs to take a break to rearrange, rebalance, etc. It has to do that periodically. As it dismantles the larger structure, there are going to be periods where you won't see changes on the scale. You still may see changes in your body, though.

There is a reason I posted it above.

I had a 3 weeks stall at 2 weeks! I was so bummed but boy did the inches fall off at that time. The scale may not be moving but your still losing. Hang in there. I'm almost 3 months out and I've stalled 3x!!! I had RNY in April and have lost 44 pounds. Slow loser but that's perfectly fine with me. Take measurements. You'll be surprised
