1 Week Stall already!?

Ok so Im 2 1/2 weeks postop. Ive lost 19lbs total, which is great! But I didnt think I would come to a stall so soon. Ive been stuck on the same number for a week now. I sure hope I lose this week.

Anyone get their first stall this early? If so please share and how long before you got off the stall?

TIA

    Focus on living and doing something, not the scale. We all have had stalls, we all will continue to have stalls.

    Ok, when you're checking daily, it's gonna drive you nuts. I can gain a pound taking extra breaths of air and lose one walking to the mailbox. Better to check once a week or every few days.

  • Hi all, I'm on week four post op. Just a tip for everyone I have only been weighing myself once every 2 weeks and wow there is no disappointment in seeing the scales move. Sometimes I think there's no

I am 3 weeks post op.Initially I lost 13 lbsin first 2 weeks and then I have not lost even a 1 lbs and I am now nervous on this :unsure: .

You will get over this bump on the road. The stall likes to come when it feels like it but it doesnt stay forever. Trust me I know the frustration gets to you. Just know that this doesnt mean you will not lose again, because you are. Stay focused on the prize and this stall will pass soon. Good Luck on your journey!

I know this post is old. But I’m pretty anointed as well. I’m only 1.5 weeks post op and I’ve stalled all week. I’m still only on liquids. In fact, I gained a pound. Why so early???? I’m practically starving. I guess I just don’t understand the science behind it. Nor did I know a stall happens this early. Everyone always talks about the dramatic weight loss early on and then the stalls come. I’m not even two weeks post op. I guess this is the reason they say not to weigh yourself. I am pretty frustrated.

After the second stall, 10 weeks post op, see a 4-5# loss afterwards. So am learning patience and making good decisions. Just got to eat all foods and was nervous at first but realize it is still ensured portion control and after a year of Noom, preoperative, will eat good 80% of time, 20% can be higher fat. Still obtaining from anything not zero sugar.
