Congratulations on your surgery. it is not uncommon for people to hit stalls around week three (and several times throughout your losing stages). Your body is adjusting and still healing. Stick to the plan your doctor laid out for you and the numbers should start to move again. When is your next followup?

Good read about stalls.

I don't have a follow up because I got my surgery in Mexico. I think I'm eating to much calories, but I don't know. One thing I know is that I'm doing something wrong

One month out I was around 600-800 calories, at week 6 my nut pushed me up to 1000. Too few could also be problematic. Are you on pureed foods are soft at this point? If you focus on lean Protein, first, then vegetables, then starch ( which I rarely ever get in) you should be good. Try for a minimum of 68 oz of Water a day also. I think at a month out I managed an ounce or two before getting full.

I try and track everything on MyFitnessPal and that keeps me accountable for my calories throughout the day.

If that doesn't' help or you want more info I can send you the instructions my nut gave me for the food stages.

I hit a stall at exactly this point after surgery. Hopefully it's just that. And when you say you're "probably" eating too many calories, does that mean that you're not keeping track? I would suggest using a nutritional tracking tool like fitness pal to count your calories. That should give you a better idea of whether it's just your regular stall, or if you are actually taking in too many calories. Good luck!

As Jersey mentioned, stalls are very common and should be expected. I would giess that you are doing well and your body is just stalling out for a bit. The link Jersey provided has been incredibly helpful to me.

What were your doctor's recommendations for what to eat/drink after surgery? Have you been logging your intake? We are happy to help, however, it is very common for different surgeons to have very different guidelines.
