Three week stall - weight gain?

[Kooky1 96]

I was prepared for the three week stall. I have read numerous threads about it and know it happens to everyone. I weigh myself once every few days, sometimes up to five days. I last weighed myself on Saturday. I was 270. This morning, I am 271.4. I am still on a liquid diet, getting about 75 to 80 grams of Protein. I drink about 50 ounces of Fluid, working to get to 64 ounces.

My goal is to have a lymphatic massage to release toxins and detox. Is weight gain also normal during the stall?

It is Water - there's no way you could gain anything on a liquid diet unless you were drinking milk shakes or sugary drinks. It is probably from not getting enough fluids.

Small daily weight fluctuations are common.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience slow downs and stalls. And, as you were expecting, most of us experience our first stall about three weeks after surgery.

Getting a massage is a great idea. I love massages. Part of my lymphedema treatment includes twice daily compression treatments. I also schedule periodic full body massages.

Just focus on following your program. Get in all of your fluids and Protein. Take your Vitamins and supplements. Exercise when cleared.

And, Embrace the Stall!

Once you move from liquid, then to puree, then to solid, you will see more movement on the scale. Also your body is catching up and realizing what the hell is going on. The scale will move just be patient. I was obsessive over it and it got to a point where my roommate had to take the scale away from me. Don't let it get that far, the weight will come off. Just be positive and know your doing everything you possibly can, and let nature take its course.
