I am 3 weeks post-op and this week I have been getting more food in. I know I get all my Protein, Vitamins and most of my liquids in.

Would did cause your weight to stall? 2 weeks out I lost 23 pounds. This week nothing

That's the 3 week stall, it's notorious and you should probably just keep off that scale for a couple weeks to not drive yourself nuts!

OMG, Elode thank you. I thought I was doing something wrong while actually following the list. Protein first, getting liquids, and finally found vitamins that didn't make me vomit.

Missylady what vitamins did you find? I keep vomiting up every brand I try. I am also starting my third week post-op.

Glad to hear this. I'm at the stall as well, ANDI was given a steroid shot for bronchitis. I don't expect to lose any thing this week, but I'm still religious about the post op diet...

I'm on week three as well and I'm in same boat I'm even working out but it's not really moving ..just a pound diff has changed this week ..Will This change with weeks to come ?!

I've lost exactly one pound as well.

I've lost exactly one pound as well.

I'm getting frustrated but then again I'm going to check my inches . Hopefully the weight starts moving on scale again lol

Centrum have a chewable vitamin that is working for me. Tgat aee very small and was on my list. Citracal have a gummy one.

I've taken the Centrum and like them a lot but they don't have iron. What r you doing for iron?

Brace yourself because this is just the first of many The stalls come and go. Just do what @@Elode said and stay off of the scale! If you stay on track and follow your plan, the scale WILL move. Best of luck to you!

I am in my 3rd week also....and yup, I stalled! It's also my time of the month, so I doubt that's helping much either....nothing to do but follow doctor's orders and hope this stall ends soon!

I'm at a stall too at 3 weeks out SMH but I'm going to try to stay off the scale it's truly driving me crazy

Hi choosehope, I see you asked what iron are you using? My nurse from post op recommended to take slow FE iron,..

It's time release that said it's easy to digest. I just make sure I take a few hours after I take my evening vitamins, calcium,

Because I heard with calcium so especially it will make the tummy upset.

Emily9654,

Thanks! I've used that before and handled it okay. I wonder if bypass patients can use it since it is time release. Anyone know?

Count me in as undergoing the 3 week stall.
