Someone please tell me you have had similar results.I lost 10 pounds on the Pre-op diet. And lost another 13 pounds on the first 10 days after surgery. That was 7 days ago. The scale has not moved downward at all since then! Doc said to expect a stall between 3-5 week. So I was. But not after only 10 days! Feeling very angsty and frustrated this morning. The internal voice is not using PG language this morning. How long do stalls last?

This might sound counter productive, and check with your doc, but when I did 14 months on my liquid diet we would run into these phases and sometimes the trick is to slightly increase your caloric intake.

The body is freaking out, it might give up more energy/weight if you feed it a few more calories.

Also make sure you are hitting your Water goals, and then some.

Check sodium levels on your food and make sure the levels are good so you don't retain too much.

And keep moving, walk walk walk walk! Lol!!

Hang in there, it WILL start dropping again.

Thanks again, everyone. My stall broke last week. I list an additional 6 and stalled again. ???? Luckily I have your posts to reread. ????. Gonna bust this thing. I think it may be calories too low and not enough Water. I am struggling in those areas.

Water is the most important part. Or Liquid I should say. How do you drink your water? Do you drink milk?

I've stalled at 3 weeks, but I haven't been working out.

Thanks for this thread. I'm going through the exact same thing. I lost 20 pre op and 21 post op. Surgery was 10/6. For the past 1 1/2 week I've still been at the same weight. I'm waiting for this stall to break. I was getting frustrated but this thread has relaxed me. Thx again!

This is why I refuse to have a goal weight because i know i would obsess. I am focusing right now on just having the swelling in my tummy go down so I can wear my fat clothes again lol
