I'm almost 3 weeks post op. I have lost about 21 lbs. since the day of my surgery. However, the past four or five days, I haven't lost any weight. Is it possible to have a weight loss stall this early? I get so worried and nervous that this isn't going to work now that I'm actually eating real food and not the liquid stage. Is a stall this early normal?

I had the same problem, I'll give a link to the info im about to give, but you hit a stall because your body isn't getting enough calories yet. So, your body starts storing rather than burning because it goes into starvation mode. I'm a month and 2 days out, I have been losing weight like crazy this past week because I'm starting to hit between 1000 and 1200 calories a day. https://www.mexicobariatriccenter.com/not-losing-weight-after-gastric-sleeve-surgery/

It happens to almost everyone. Google "three week stall."

I was heavy before pre-op..... I weighed 488. I dropped to 467 after pre-op, and weighed in at 430 today. [emoji4]

Yup. Same happened to me. Don't be discouraged! Your body is trying to adjust. The weight will start falling off after this. Just stick to the plan, drink water, take the vitamins. Good luck!

The three week stall.... it happens to almost everyone keep you head up, and your yogurt down!

I had RNY and am just about 3 weeks post op. Lost 16lbs the first two weeks and nothing for the past week. It sucks being patient but everyone says this happens and to wait it out. Good luck. I hope your stall ends soon!

I am hitting week 3 and only lost 10 lbs so I am also losing slowly. I have read a lot about the 3 week stall so not really sure what's going to happen now. We all have to make sure we are getting in protein and fluids and the rest will follow even if it's slower. Hang in there.

I'm in week 3 and the weight loss has slowed way down. Hoping to just power through this

My scale didn't move AT ALL during week 3, I almost threw my scale away because I thought it was broken.

I actually did throw out mine and got a new one !

I've been stalled for a month now. Had my surgery April 28th. Lost 25 pounds and nothing for a month. Its scary to think this is all I'm going to lose.
