they happen to most of us. The first major one usually hits sometime during the first month post-op. We call it the "three week stall" because it's most often the third week, but not always. mine was weeks 2 & 3.

they typically last 1-3 weeks, but I've heard of them lasting longer (although USUALLY 1-3 weeks), Just stick to your program and stay off the scale for a few days - and know that it WILL break.

And also you’ll likely experience them a couple of times while you are losing. All perfectly normal.

Weight stalls after bariatric surgery can be a common concern for some patients. The length of a weight stall can vary depending on several factors, including the type of bariatric procedure, the patient's diet and exercise habits, and individual metabolism.

It's not uncommon for patients to experience a weight stall for a few weeks or even a few months after surgery. However, if you have been consistently following your post-operative diet and exercise plan and are still experiencing a weight stall, it may be helpful to speak with your bariatric team for further evaluation and guidance.

Your bariatric team can help determine the cause of your weight stall and provide you with personalized recommendations to help get you back on track. This may include adjusting your diet, increasing physical activity, or making other changes to your lifestyle.

Remember, weight loss after bariatric surgery is a gradual process, and it's important to be patient and persistent in your efforts to achieve your goals. With the right support and guidance, you can overcome any obstacles and reach your target weight.
