At about three weeks after surgery I stalled for a month. Now, it's been six and a half months and I'm down 98 lbs. from 255 to 157 and still losing steadily. Any other 30 day period since surgery the least I have lost is 10 lbs. Give it time, understand that the stall may stick around for a while, be grateful if it doesn't - and no matter what, remember that it is not an indication of your future success!

I think the puree stage is the hardest because you struggle to get in your protein. Everything that you puree and mainly carbs it seems. So once you hit phase 3 I believe you will start seeing a difference so just hang in there!

Thanx guys I'm very grateful for my 27 pound loss i was just frustrated but i know it was going to happen

I don't know that I'd call just 4 days a stall. A week? maybe. Two weeks, ok, I'd call that a stall.

Could it be your TOM causing some Water weight? Eating salty Soups?

I agree, a 4 day isn't a stall. It really isn't, but I understand your frustration. This is for keeps though. You are relearning how to eat & be healthy, so try to pay more attention to that rather than the scale. It's hard, I know. I'm just 'getting it' at 3.5 months out.

PUT THE SCALE AWAY!!! It is not healthy to weigh yourself everyday! Stressing about not changing your weight in 4 days is going to lead you down a path of destruction. 4 days is not a stall, it's a normal daily fluctuation in weight.

Haha, you sound like the nurse at the clinic. She yelled at me for weighing every day, too.
