the dreaded 3rd week stall

I am another victim of the dreaded 3 week stall. I was just given the OK to start the pureed/super-soft diet, Now 4 days later the scale hasn't moved at all. I am putting the scale away and now plan on weighing in once a week from here on out.

I also got my clearance to restart my exercise program (walking, resistance training, and kettle bells). I am going to start these today.

I would never have known about the "3rd week stall" and I would have thought I was doing something wrong if it wasn't for the great information I've gotten from this site.

I've experienced lots of stalls filed with sports of weight loss....I have learned it's ok and ultimately the weight will continue down....

I stalled for a few days right before I switched to soft foods and now I seem to be losing again. I was eating a lot of broth and V8, which has a ton of sodium, so I wonder if that contributed to water retention, which made the weight seem to be stuck.

hang in there, you are doing all the right things, you just have to give your body time to catch up.

I stalled for four days before I was allowed to start pureed foods at four weeks post op (two days ago). I then dropped 1.4 pounds yesterday but none today. I am enjoying my pureed refried beans & pureed Stagg chili. Greek yogurt, not so much. I think I'll puree a hard boiled egg & tuna with some Walden Farms honey mustard mayo for dinner tonight. I love Walden Farms - it's all calorie-free & tastes great!
