On Tuesday I will be 3 weeks post-op. The first week I lose 8 pounds and the second week I lose 10 pounds. This week so far...nothing. I'm wondering if other people have experienced this so early on?

@ We had surgery the same day. I have one more week of full fluids. I haven't weighed myself again since my 2 week follow up. From other forums I believe a 3 week stall is normal. How are you doing otherwise?

Please search for 3 week stall on this site and you will find how common this is.

Also one week with no loss is not really a stall. When you go several weeks with no loss then I would suggest your body might be taking a break. Just keep following the plan and the break will end. Your body is just waiting to see what you will do next.

@hello2brenda I actually logged in to say the same thing! I think our surgeries were 1 day apart. I stalled last Sunday and saw no movement until Wednesday, when I went down 1 pound. Then yesterday I had lost another 2 pounds but this morning I was actually UP 3 pounds! Argh. I saw my surgeon on Friday, though, and he said this is normal. I stalled at 29 pounds and every diet I have ever been on I have stalled at 30 pounds so i kind of chalked it up to my body doing some rebooting, lol. Not sure why I am up today but I have been pushing fluids and trying to stay away from a lot of salty stuff.

Thank you all for sharing. It is reassuring to know that I have not yet reached the end of my weight loss! :)

My doctor said that it is very normal to have minimal to no weight loss the 3rd and 4th week. It was very disheartening before I heard that and it caused me to play all sorts of head games. This is normal and keep following your dietary instructions. You will be ok.

It's the "3 week stall". Completely normal and will pass. No one could have convinced me (many tried) back then. Hang in there. Good things coming your way!

      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.
