It is common. However it happens to people differently. Some people stall every other week, some get the stall 3-weeks straight and Some get a stall week once a month. Myself, I have a really good week, then a okay week, then a bleh week and then nothing.

I am 3 months post op.

Yes it's a definitely common thing to have i got stall in my 11th day after surgery it stayed for 2 week but thank god now im back on losing weight

You need to drink a lot of Water

For me the thing that broke my stall is drinking 3 Oranges in the morning

But it might be bad for someone who can't tolerate sour things

If you want my advice DON'T stand on a scale hhhhhh i broke in tears a few times [emoji23] [emoji23]

I KNOW it would break me if I don't lose! I am not going to weigh. I also DON'T drink enough. Did you squeeze 3 oranges a day to help? Also, how long was it until you were "regular" again? Maybe that would help me

Yes i squeezed 3 Oranges every morning to drink it's great way to lose weight and at the same time help me with fluids
In my 4th week the doctor allowed me to eat regular but it's definitely a very small amount
Today is my 6 weeks but still have difficulty with rice and bread but i eat Pasta and everything else
For the Water i suggest you to have a sip every 10 min
And don't worry even if you feel that your not getting any water down just don't pressure your stomach step by step you will be in track to healthy way [emoji256] [emoji256]
Best of luck [emoji4]

I've been eating regular food since 6days post op. No puree stage or anything. He doesn't do that. I've tried eggs, turkey, chicken, ground beef, crab, cheese, high Fiber Cereal. I have been ok with most. I didn't know we can have pasta or bread. He did finaly tell me that I can have low carb bread, but I'm afraid to try. I can drink gulps of water, it's just hard because I don't WANT it. I have never been a big drinker.

My doc is a bit old school about the food and also because I had complications in my surgery so i had to take it easy and also i can eat pasta but its the whole wheat one and it has to be very well done to be able to digest sure it's going to be in small amount
For the water after the surgery i couldn't drink water i was like you not a water drinker [emoji23][emoji23] but i flavor the water with fruit so i can drink them and also watermelon and cucumber worked miracle for hydration

People keep telling me to try watermelon, I'm a little apprehensive because it gave me heartburn pre-op. I loved lemonade right after surgery, I just tried some and hate it. I just don't know whats wrong with me. I feel like I'm in the "buyers remorse" stage. Am I EVER going to feel "normal" again? Amd I EVER going to be able to eat and not be nauseaus again? Am I EVER going to stop HATING the very thoughts of eating or drinking???

The things that give you uncomfortable feeling stay away from them the lemonade for the first 3 month i don't recommend it it's a little bit tiresome for the stomach try to put some of flavor that I'm going to show you now my doc told me to use them when i want to drink juices but i put (1 envelope in 3 liter of water)
And DON'T WORRY it's just for the time being that you hate food and the nauseaus feeling it's common in every operations some it take them times to get over it for me it was only for 3 weeks
I couldn't stand the smell of food or juice I've been in bad shape for these 3 weeks now it's just a dream don't worry you'll get there have a smile you did the hard thing which is the operation now it's just a small things to get back on track [emoji4] [emoji256]

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
