One month post-op..3week stall

Hi. I am One month post-op and had lost 12 pounds the first week, but have hit a wall and not lost anything for 3 full weeks. I have upped my calories, Water and exercise and have made sure I am following exactly what my doctor said.

Has such a long stall this early on happened to anyone else? If so, how did you push through and start losing again?

I just had a stall for 2 weeks. I agree it is frustrating, even though I expected stalls. What are your calorie and Protein goals right now?

I am 8 weeks out... so I upped my calories from 600 to 800, upped my protein to 80-100g, and increased my carbs from under 40 g daily to 50-75 g daily. It worked, and I dropped 2 lbs this week. I don't know if was switching up my diet, or if my body had just readjusted and decided to start losing again. The only thing I will drop back now is the carbs, I found increasing my carbs made me crave crap carbs, LOL.

You are lower BMI, so the loss may be slower, but keep following your plan and the loss will resume.

I just broke through mine and it went on for over a month. I changed up my workout routine, I would go to the gym Monday through Saturday and do zumba Tuesday and Thursday night. Now I go to the gym Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and do zumba Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I also changed up what I did at the gym. I was doing 30/40 mins on the treadmill then 15 on the bike. I do the treadmill last and only for 15/20 mins, the bike 15 mins and another kind of machine first that works out the thighs really good, kind of like gliding.

I changed my food to eat more carbs, I was hardly eating any at all.
