No stall?

So, did anyone NOT stall during there first month?

I didn't....not until now, 3 months out.  but knowing it could happen at anytime, I am not fretting over it.

I don't remember any stalls until about 9 weeks. Now it happens for days at a time. I don't fret it. It's about the journey and not the destination. I know I will get to goal, and if it takes an extra month or two, so what.

I didn't in the first month, nor the second or third for that matter; there was one week around the fourth month where I didn't lose anything for the week, though that can probably be chalked up to water retention since it coincided with a week of travel where I usually pick up 3-4 pounds over trend.

There was a slow down around the third week as expected - that is about the time that our bodies get the message that we are serous about this caloric deprivation thing and switches to drawing from our long term stores of fat, which burns more slowly than the glycogen that we typically burn early on.

I'm so glad you asked this! I had surgery on June 10, so 3 weeks and 2 days ago. In the first 2 weeks I lost 14 pounds, which shocked me. Then the next few days I lost another 3 pounds and since then, nothing. It doesn't really bother me, since it stands to reason that if I'm only consuming 600-800 calories a day (less calories burned by exercising) I HAVE to lose weight. But at the same time it doesn't make sense to me. So at least I'm not the only one!

I didn't stall during the first year. I know lots of people do stall, even those who are following their eating plans carefully. But I was lucky enough to have a loss every month.

I never stalled at all.

However, let's be clear: a stall is when you don't lose weight for 2 weeks in a row or more. It's not when you don't lose weight for a few days. A ton of people think that's a stall because you do lose weight almost every day at first with WLS, but it doesn't last forever and when it stops that freaks people out.
