So

I was completely prepared to deal with the unavoidable 3 week stall... But wasn't prepared that it may come sooner! Stalled out at about 1.5-2 weeks. Anyone else stall sooner than 3 weeks?

I feel like that is happening to me now I will be 2 weeks post tomorrow and weighed the same thing for 3 days I'm still on all liquid

I'm 3 weeks and am at a stall too. I'm freaking out. I'm already eating in stage 1 soft foods but it's scary because I barley eat and drink plenty of Water....why is this happening.

Someone said you have to eat more calories to burn more weight so more protein and get the required water

Stall here too!! I was beginning to think I've been doing something off-plan.....but getting all my requirements (Protein and water). Surgery was June 14th and have post op appt tomorrow with my surgeon. Hoping to get some advice there. None the less...this is frustrating!! But I will follow the plan.

I had a stall week two that lasted a week.. .. since then I've been losing 5-6 pounds per week... Please please please all of you trust me, it won't last forever! I've been there. Hang in there! You're not alone

I am 1.5 week post-op and while I haven't stalled the lost has slowed down to 1lb/day where as before it was 2lbs a day. I've heard sooooo much about the stalls that I am expecting to run in to them at any point now. I have heard they are pretty normal and your lost should kick back in soon. Personally, I think this is just a resting phase for your body...its been through a lot so this is the bodies way of sayin "I need to take a rest".

How long do these stalls usually last I'm like 4-5 days no lost same weight and 2 weeks post

You have just had major surgery. You are swollen and full of IV fluids. You have not had time to have a stall.

Your primary focus right now is healing.

Until you are able to get in ALL of your fluids and Protein reliably, then it may be a very good idea to stay off the scale.

You need to focus on healing, rest, Fluid, protein, walking, taking your Vitamins and supplements, and being gentle with yourself.

STAY OFF THE SCALE.

The weight loss will come.

Embrace the Stall

Happened to me sooner than three weeks, lasted about a week. Your body is trying to deal with what just happened. I'm 24 days post-op and down 17 lbs since surgery.
