  • I agree with Inner Surfer Girl. Couldn't have said it better myself. I had my first stall weeks 2 and 3 out - then I dropped like six pounds during week 4. Just hang in there!

It's great that you are doing so well. Unless you are really swollen, you probably won't feel much of any restriction until you get to solid foods. What you will be looking for is feeling satisfied and not "full". It will be really easy to go from satisfied to really uncomfortable with one bite so it is very important to measure portion sizes, take very small bites, chew thoroughly, and eat slowly.

For now, sipping slowly instead of taking big swallows should keep you from overdoing it.

As to weight loss, just stay off the scale for the first few weeks. Some people gain after surgery due to swelling and Fluid retention, and just about everyone experiences a stall at about three weeks post-op.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids. Take your Vitamins as directed. And exercise when cleared.

Embrace the Stall!
