A stall in the first week?

Had surgery one week ago. Scale hasn't moved in four days. Really weird. Am now on the soft food Stage IV diet after yesterday. Got 70+ g of protein in yesterday, got 60+ oz of water in. Every day, I've been following the script to the letter.

I read about stalls, and I know that people say not to worry, but it's weird. Anyone else encounter one already like this?

I bet your body is still swollen and you still have all the gunk left over from surgery..... continue to follow the script - I bet you will see it soon!

So, now not only am I not losing, but I'm UP two!!!!! I think I ate 600 calories yesterday. What?!?!?!?

Day 10 post-op, day 7 of completely stalled weight loss. Getting all my protein in (70-80g daily) as well as fluids (64+ oz of water).

My surgeon said that the first month is about healing, not losing. Still I can certainly understand your confusion and frustration. What kind of foods are you eating?

My "meals" are 2 oz of mushy protein 3x a day (yesterday was B - Cottage cheese, L - Baby food, D - Ricotta), and then a protein shake, as well as a small homemade protein pudding for a nighttime snack. In between, fluids all the time (broth, sf jello, water, C Light, etc.).

I was sleeved 1/15 and have actually gained weight!! i understand why this could happen, but its still frustrating!!

I had my surgery 10 days ago and have lost 16 pounds. I have also stalled. Everyone says it is normal while we heal, but I definitely want to see movement! Hang in there Jeff!

Down 25 lbs., one month out. Broke that stall like a bad habit, but thank you!
