The third-week stall is absolutely infamous. Just be patient. You're not doing anything wrong. It is discouraging, but totally normal.

Are you getting all your fluids? That's really important, more important than the Protein at this point.

I stalled almost immediately after surgery, and stall regularly! It’s all good :) I lose 3-5lbs, then stalk for 5-6 days, then drop another 2-3lbs, then stall for like 8-10 days and repeat. It’s my routine that my body just likes to follow!

I’ve been at 60+ grams since about day 4 so I’m weird. I have an Iron stomach.

Maybe I’m going through the same thing! I have to stop weighing myself but it’s soooo hard!

I feel like its worked out well for me! My energy levels have remained really constant. I know some people who drop significantly can feel more fatigue (not a definite, just sometimes!) For me, I have a ton of energy and feel super upbeat. It also helped me keep a realistic head on things. I am losing slower so I feel like I have to be more proactive about it instead of just letting the surgery do all the work.

I agree!! I don’t want to lose to fast. I just am nervous I won’t lose at all

Just keep on doing what you were doing, make sure you are getting enough Water and getting some exercise in (even if it is only walking) the weight will come off!

I am going through a stall also stuck at 245. Today I'm changing my exercise routine and cutting down on carbs, working on getting enough sleep, adding meditation and writing down my foods again because I stopped doing that. I hope this helps me get back to losing and reach my goal.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
