I felt the same way about 3 weeks out...I hit a 2 week stall but then it broke and I've lost 100.8lbs to date. Just be patient.

Some people experience this stall. It sucks, but it happens. Your body needs to adjust.

I have noticed that lots of those people that lost significantly more than 10lbs a month also went through complications. BAD complications.

Slow and steady wins the race!

Stalling is normal in weightloss so is gaining before dropping. It is not indicative of where you end up. Don't restrict calories or you really will stall. Trust the procedure and the process and follow the plan and you will drop.
Here is my graph for some perspective. Notice how it does not look like a straight line? Lots of bump ups and plateues but it is clear what the overall trend is...

It happened to me, too. Don't fall at the first hurtle!! Keep pushing!

I'm 7 weeks post op and I've not lost a single ounce in 14 days! Nothing! It says 225.0 every stinkin day and it is frustrating. This is my longest stall.
My first stall was at 2-3 weeks. That lasted about 10 days. I know it will eventually come off but it can be so frustrating. I have been losing inches though! My clothes are fitting looser so maybe search for non-scale victories! Hang in there though and don't lose hope, we will get through this!

Search "three week stall." It happens to everyone. Just stick with your plan and the weight will come off in its own time.
This journey is a marathon, not a sprint!

As an FYI- the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand makes a chicken Soup flavored Protein "shake". It is sooo good! Mix one scoop with a cup of hot Water. Yum! I've even taken to using it in recipes where I would use chicken stock ( I'm on a regular diet now at almost 4 months post op)
Try it!!!

During liquids, you can only eat 2-4 Oz portions at a time. Not too much fat and carbs in such small amounts.

It isn't quite panera, but ProtiDiet Tomato basil Soup (and ProtiDiet creamy chicken) really helped me get through the liquid phases.

Progresso has a wonderful Tomato basil Soup that once you purée and add milk and Protein it is yummy.

The macros on almost every panera Soup are terrible. Unless you are adding Protein Powder to it, it is basically empty calories.

Awesome! Everyone's journey is different, so really no need to compare yourself.

I had RnY on 6/20. Turned 64 a month later. Only stayed one night in the hospital. Had no nausea, but did have pervasive back pain. Asked for a heating pad when I got to my room and they brought a water-filled one that was marvelous. Did not use the PCA pump at all, but did use the liquid Tylenol with hydrocodone script once or twice at home to be able to sleep comfortably in my recliner, due to all the distention in my gut due to the gas. Use your phone as a timer for your 1 oz liquids every 15 min. I kept bottled Water, SF tea, Protein shots in a small cooler by my chair and Decaf coffee in a thermos. Used a jigger to measure the 1 oz. That first 10 days ain't no picnic, but mine was made worse by the fact that my father died 5 days after my surgery and I had to deal with his funeral planning and service. You do what you gotta do. I will tell you, nothing tasted as good as that first scrambled egg I had on Stage 3! I took 30 min to eat it and it was cold by then, but, oh, man! I have been off Metformin since I started the pre-surgery liquid diet, and am off one of my 2 blood pressure meds totally. My BP is in the normal range and resting heart rate is in the 60s now. Best thing I ever did for myself! 75 lbs down from HW, 40 from SW. You may have weight loss "stalls" at about 3 weeks and 6 wks, but everyone is different. Best of luck to you!

I have BCBS of MN. I was required to do 6 months of medically- supervised weight loss attempt, as well as have a psych evaluation. Was certified last Feb and told it was good for one year. . Got on surgery schedule after I thought, prayed, and researched more. Had RnY on June 20th.

I'm on my third day post op and feeling great. No more pain meds, taking my Vitamins, getting 64+ oz of liquids in and around 50 grams of Protein (need to up it a bit, but I think this is pretty darn good for three days post-op). Haven't weighed myself yet - waiting for the 2 week post-op appt. I started full liquids today (as opposed to clear liquids) and was able to have Decaf coffee with a little bit of nonfat milk this morning and delicious split pea Soup with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt for dinner. Life is good. I hope that everyone is doing well!

I stalled at 3 weeks and again about 6 wks. Almost 3 months out now and losing pretty quickly. It is different for every patient, but the stalls are normal.

No ... I don't drink coffee or anything with caffeine. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

Just be very careful with the Premier Protein shakes. They do give you a slug of Protein (30g)and are tasty. However, I've never been so constipated in my life as the time of pre-surgery liquid fast and the first month after, due to those shakes. I learned to add 3 scoops of Benefiber Clear to my shakes, along with crushed ice and shake them well, and they went down nicely. Note: You might not be able to drink all 16 oz without feeling queasy. We were told to try half at a time, if that's the case.

Watch out for constipation! It was terrible! Add Fiber to your shakes. Benefiber Clear worked for me.
