Exactly what @@Bufflehead said. Almost everyone stalls at three weeks out. It is the time your body is adjusting to the weight loss. Take measurements during this time and you will probably see that you are still losing inches. Also be very careful to watch your meds during this time. As you start loosing weight so quickly you may find that you don't need as many meds or as high a dose very quickly. Be sure to check with your PCP often as you loose the weight. I had a bad experience with BP meds that I was taking where my BP hot down to 80 / 40. I ended up passing out a couple of times and broke my nose when I crashed into the bathroom floor.

you lost 20 lbs pre & post op??
that's wonderful
there ARE certain medications that can rub the wrong way concerning weight loss
some might cause weight gain
this issue is something to talk to NUT or doc about
an official stall, plateau is when you haven't lost any weight for at least 2-3 weeks
not 2-3 days
many times newbies et al have unrealistic expectations
it took months and years to gain weight
it's not gonna melt off overnight
mom called the day after i came home from hospital
she told me to stand up
then she said "did your underwear fall down?"
i told her it doesn't work that way!!!
she said something like "Oh, I thought it did"!!!
i'm sure you are following all the basic rules
Water, Protein, portions, carbs, veggies etc
please DON'T be discouraged!!
"GOD Grant Me Patience Just Hurry Up About It"
good luck

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience periodic stalls. Most of us experience a stall about three weeks after surgery.
Just follow your program and focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.
It may also be a good idea to stay off the scale for a while.
Embrace the Stall!
