3weeks post op and a stall since 2nd week
VSG on 02/15/12
It is normal...unfortunately. Mine started on day 9 after losing 17 lbs the first week. It took almost 2 weeks to get past it. It happens to the majority of us. It apparently won't be our first one. Just keep doing whatever your plan calls for and it will pass. Although I have to admit it messed with my head a bit! You think about the pain and the expense and so forth and wonder if you are going to be a failure. And, just like everybody said on this site, you still lose inches. Go up to the search bar on this site and search for "3 week stall" if you want to read about other people's experiences. Everybody says to stay off the scale but I was too weak! I still checked it every day even though I knew it was bad for me. I just kept hoping that that day would be the day the stall broke and I didn't want to miss it when it did!

Yeah, it's normal. I literally weighed the same from 15 days post op until 25 days out. I actually finally just got out of it this week and have lost 4 lbs since Monday. So I guess what I'm saying is yeah it's normal and it will pass!

I had a stall for three LOOONNNNGGG weeks. My stall started 10 days post op which was on Feb 13th and ended on March 6th. It seemed like it was going to last forever. But during that time I took my 1 month measurements (March 3rd) and I saw progress there so that kept me somewhat sane but all in all, it was a tough 3 weeks.
I just had to tell myself that it will pass at some point and so far I have lost 8lbs since my stall ended.
