Did You Experience The Dreaded 3 Week Stall??

I'm a few weeks ahead of you all and I just broke through my plateau...I was about two weeks gaining and losing the same few pounds then a week of losing a few ounces a day.  I broke through two days ago - I literally did the happy dance in my bathroom and the Rocky arms in the air giggling like a schoolgirl :-)

Hang in there - this will pass and you will start losing again.  I was also in my 240's happy place...it will probably happen again when I get in the 220s....Just keep eating right, getting in your protein and water...

Yep...a stall at 3 weeks that lasted 3 weeks was my experience also. I didn't consider it a real stall, just my body readjusting. Since then I have been steadily losing.

Hey surgery buddy!  I have been in a stall since my 1st week post op. I lost 12 lbs that first week and until today, 3 weeks out, nothing.  I am hoping I am on my way down again as I am down a pound.  So, if you thought your's was coming off slow, be glad you aren't me!  I am envious of 30.5!  I think you are doing fantastic!  I just keep saying my little mantra:  This too shall pass...

I plateaued at 242-245 for approx 5 wks.  Very frustrating cause I was working my azz off.  Although I never measured myself, I could tell that I was losing inches because of the way my clothing fit, but I wanted to lose lbs.  The scale started moving again 2 wks ago when I started working with a physical trainer.  I'm now 236 and I had to fight to lose those lbs. 

I wouldn't know--I refused to weigh myself until I went to the surgeon's office for my post-op
follow-ups.  If I had stalls, I didn't know about them. 

Made my life a lot easier.

Good luck!

I didn't lose nearly as much as you in the first month!  You're doing amazingly well!  About 3 weeks out I plateaued for nearly 7 weeks.  I was terribly worried the surgery wasn't going to work for me!

I didn't weigh myself very often in the beginning so I'm not sure but I don't think I stalled at three weeks.  The only real stall I had was six months out, when I stalled for a month.  I don't really consider it a stall, though, if someone doesn't lose anything for a week.  That's just normal weight loss.
