@@blu2020 Embrace the Stall! ?? Not sure how brilliant that is but it's common to stall at 3 weeks. It sucks - but it's common. Make sure your getting enough Protein and fluids though - if you're not that will stall or stop weight loss. Hang in there!

What did your Dr say? My Dr told me the first 6 weeks were not about weight loss but about healing.

None of us lose weight at a constant or steady rate.

Right after surgery you are swollen, healing, and full of fluids from the IV.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. If you intend to lose a lot of weight you will experience periodic stalls.

Just about everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids. Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed. Exercise when cleared. Stay off the scale. And, Embrace the Stall

Stay off the scale. That is the absolute BEST advice you can receive in the first month or two post-op. This period should be about healing, recovering, getting your protein and water in, taking your vitamins, walking as much as possible, and advancing through your food stages appropriately. Your body will need time to adjust and adapt to all of the trauma and change it has experienced. It may react by retaining water, clinging to every calorie, dropping weight rapidly, or any other combination of things. There is no way to predict or control how your body will react in these early weeks. All you CAN control is that you stick to your plan and follow all of your instructions to the letter.
