I had surgery exactly three weeks ago and lost 12kg up until last week. Since then I haven't lost a single kg and it's really stressing me out. I'm eating right and drinking plenty of Water but can't exercise yet. How long do these stall's usually last?

The stalls can last for awhile. I've read a lot of posts about stalls on here. One lady was stalled for a whole month.

My surgeon told me that your body has to adjust to the weight loss and stalls are completely normal and that they happen to everyone. It's nothing to get worried or upset about. You will eventually start losing again!

I did get a tip from my dietician last week that has helped me drop a few more pounds... I was stalled last week. I realized I was only getting in 475-550 calories a day and my carbs were really low. My dietician said at 6 weeks post op, my calories need to be up in the 600-800 range. Also, she said a boost in carbs to 50 grams a day would help me lose the weight as well. I made the appropriate changes and sure enough, the scale started moving a little again.

Every person is different. I'm about six months out and my longest stall to date was three weeks.

You can expect stalls throughout your entire journey. It's unfortunate but normal. I've read of stalls lasting a couple days or weeks. I personally had about a two week stall a couple weeks after surgery.
