Wow! 100% of your excess weight is amazing. Could you tell me what your exercise regime was like and what you typically ate in Phase 5? I'm so happy to have found this forum because it's explained so much from stalls to joint pain in my hip socket.

you're in the infamous three-week stall. It isn't always the third week, but it usually is, hence the name. It can really happen any time during the first month or so after surgery. I had mine weeks 2 and 3. My weight loss started up again during week 4, and I dropped like 6-8 lbs in a couple of days. Just stick to your plan, stay off the scale if you have to, and be confident your weight loss will start up again, because it will.
btw - this happens to almost all of us, and bariatric clinics really should warn people about it because people freak out about it when it happens to them. I just did a search for you on this site on the three-week stall. Here are the posts - 17,501 of them (and no, I am NOT kidding! Like I said, it happens to almost everyone):

Thank you. I had my surgery July 9th & was trying to figure out what was wrong with me. My doctor said to really take advantage of the first few months & that people averaged 30 pounds in the first month. I've only lost 10 lbs since surgery with stalls in week 2 until yesterday. I finally lost 1.4 pounds this morning. I was getting so discouraged.
