About a week

Every body is so very different just stick to what the doctor is telling you, and I am sure this will pass. I know how frustrating it can be in the mean time but our bodies take time to adjust or have a period if your a woman or maybe they just want to swell for a few days whatever it is I have faith it will pass.

Mine lasts about a week and then it passes. It's like the previous person said, it's just your body adjusting to the changes.

I’m 3 wks post rny & at a stall now too. They say it hits about wk 3 so your close. I just read a rny success story who had lost 130 lbs total, but she said re: stalls, that post op she failed to lose anything til wk 6 post op! Wow!

I just hit my four weeks post op today. I am down 20 lbs from surgery date, 30 total. Mine seemed to stall last week as well, but this week seems to be picking back up and since I am now in the Chew Stage of food, it might pick up even more, hopefully. I am taking all of my vitamins and calcium, as well as extra B12 but I just feel so tired. Not sleepy, just tired and I am not used to that at all, I hope this too shall pass. Now the fun part of trying new foods I suppose...

Wow down 20 pounds post surg. is incredible! Congratulations!!! I’m down 6 post surg but that’s ok :) it’ll come off. I’m glad to know I’m not tye not one stalling!

I’ve heard that when real foods are introduced we do better energy-wise. Hopefully that will help you (& me soon too, I’m exhausted!!)

I'm 7 weeks out today. Before surgery I heard about the inevitable 3-4 week stall. And I had it. In the 5th and 6th weeks alone it caught up and I lost 17 lbs in those 2 weeks. I was a bit frustrated but try to keep in mind that many people hit that stall and it's just your body trying to figure things out. Keep following the rules and your body will fall in line.

Wow that’s great info to have in my back pocket! Thank you. Yes the 3-4 wk stall is for real I’m finding out too, but I didn’t know about it before surgery. Glad to know it can happen again soon. Wow your 17 lb wt loss in 2 wks is incredible!
