Cross post: 2.5week stall?

[Maxthecat 37]

Ok maybe it's not a stall but given that I was losing a point or so a day the first to weeks, to not have the scale move for 6 days is unsettling.

Surgery 5/2. Lost 21lbs in the preop diet and 16lbs post op so far. I'm eating between 600-800cals per day. On on purees. My meals are like this:

Breakfast: Premier Protein shake

Snack: Greek yogurt

Lunch: soup- like a chicken broth with veg

Dinner: 1/3 cup puréed meat, 1/4 cup each of puréed veg and potatoes

I'm getting about 80 oz of Water. Protein is about 60g so yesterday I also added another shake to get to 90.

I'm nervous to go on regular foods soon and gain if I'm not losing now.

Any other suggestions? Or just calm the F down[emoji52]

it's the infamous "three-week stall". I had mine weeks 2 and 3. It broke week 4, and I dropped like 6-8 lbs practically overnight. Just follow your plan and it'll break - I promise!

I hope I am only in this infamous stall phase too...... I am 4 weeks out today.from band to bypass revision.... and have lost a total of 1stone 5 1/2 pounds... but of that only 1 pound this week and 1 pound last week... I have a shake for breakfast.... a small low cal high Protein lunch and dinner... around 60___80 protein... not quite making my Fluid target... but very disappointed the last two weeks..... recovery wise I feel fine...
