Hey there,  had my op on Aug 17th and I cant believe it but I have already stalled.  I have been the same weight for the last 4 days and I am sticking to the guidelines.   I would appreciate it if you have been here and solved this problem.

Thanks

 the best thing for you to do this early out is to not get on the scale :)  Your body is still adjusting to the changes and it's just taking a breath before continuing to losing.  It's really nothing to be concerned yet.  now if you stall for a month or longer, then I would be worried LOL  but however, it'll start taking off again :)

get off the scale... you go through a notorious stall at 3 weeks... no biggy.. it passes
wait till the 3 month stall (but it too passes)

your body is adjusting and saying "Oh **** WTF" and then starts hoarding everything

it's all good :-)

Not to use the scale seems to be a good idea.. thanks

Hi surgery buddy!  I had my surgery on the same day, and I'm experiencing the exact same thing.  For the last 3 days - the scale hasn't moved for me either.  I'm trying to wait it out patiently...the weight has got to come off given how little we're eating...right???

Heya!

Just needed to jump onboard the bandwagon and warn you that this stall you're on is one you could set your watch by.  Everyone I know who's had the surgery has had this stall - you're golden!  Keep on what you're doing and you'll be fine.

Just for future references, there are other stalls along the way - I'm a little far out, now, so I don't remember all of them, exactly, but there was definitely a stall in the 3rd week, a stall in the 2nd or 3rd month, a loooong ass stall in the 9th month (still dealing with that one).  Most last for a week, some last for two, the later ones last a long time (the 9 month one lasted 6 weeks for both me and my surgery buddy).

Just do your best to keep yourself sane during the stalls by avoiding the scales.  I really only weighed in at the doctor's office for the first 6 months - made the losses seem ENORMOUS, and let me sidestep all the little hiccups and anxieties along the way.

Thanks for the information.  I had no idea that these stalls were part of the process.

Yeah...they don't warn any of us about them.  Luckily we WLSers stick together. :-)
