I had my gastric sleeve surgery 10/1 and went from 296 to 282 by the one week doctor's visit on 10/9. Now I'm stuck there. I'll be three weeks post op on tuesday and the scale is not budging... no matter what. I've been on full liquids, and will start soft foods this weekend. I'm getting pretty frustrated because I've heard of the three week stall, but never the one week stall. Am i doing something wrong? How am i not losing weight only eating a small amount and liquids at that.

LOL! The "three week stall" term refers to the first stall many people experience, which happens (typically) when people are around Week Three post-op.

Honey, that's what you're dealing with. :)

Ignore it. Just keep doing your program. And if it bothers you, stay off the scales.

There are no other solutions.

Goodness it's so discouraging. Every day I wake up thinking maybe today is the day the scale will change and ...nope 282. I'm almost as sick of 282 as I am with Protein Drinks lol

My stall was 2 weeks long, don't focus on the short time, look at the bigger picture and take a look at before and after pics.

It helped me stay focused on the prize and finally my stall ended and the lbs are dropping again???? good luck

My stall also started about 3 weeks after surgery and lasted about 3.5 weeks, but then the weight loss started again! Don't get discouraged! Keep in mind how much you've lost already and the weight loss will start again!

I'm at a stall as well I'm stuck at 211,212....I'm 3wks and just started my soft stage....I only get about 300 calories but not even close to my Protein intake at 60g but I'm going to stay away from the scale and up my protein and continue to do what I'm doing...hopefully the scale will budge in the next two weeks or so...Good Luck!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
