Hello!

I started pre-op Nov 17, surgery Dec 1st. I started at 429 and am now 377. I have been stuck for almost 3 weeks at this weight. No changes in measurements or clothing. Nothing has changed. I am getting beyond frustrated. I try and meet protein and water goals every day, but that doesn't always happen. I have tried upping different things( carbs, fat, protein, etc) with no change. Please tell me this is normal? I have heard of the 3 week stall, but this is ridiculous [emoji24]

it's almost certainly the three week stall. Happens to almost all of us. If you do a search on it on this site, you will find over 17,000 posts on it (and no, I am NOT kidding). It usually lasts 1-3 weeks, so you should be at or near the end of it. I dropped about 6-8 lbs in just a couple of days after mine ended.

Huh, I didn't realize it lasted weeks! I'm going into my 7th week, so hoping it ends soon.

mine lasted two weeks. But they last for three weeks for some people.

Yes, the infamous Week 3 Stall can last several weeks, sorry to have to tell you that but it's true. Get that water in, sip, sip, sip all day long and keep running to the bathroom if you have to (more steps!/exercise!) but stay focused and try not to get discouraged and it'll all start moving again when your body is ready. I promise.

Ugh, this is been the 3rd almost 4th seek. Almost 4 weeks ago i lost like 3 pounds and then it stalled.

My surgery was November 26, I've only lost 26 pounds. Been on a stall for 3 weeks! Not one ounce lost. I'm so upset. Actually it showed I gained a pound. I get 90% of my water in and all my protein in. No changes in my measurements either

Stalls are not unheard of here. they are really common and to be expected with weight loss surgery.

So tell us a little more about you (it would really help if you filled in your profile...height, start weight, current weight, surgery or procedure)...

Have you lost 26lb since surgery , since before pre-op surgery...lost more but gained weight since surgery?
