I'm 7 weeks post op and I have not lost an ounce since 11 days ago. Are stalls this long normal? What was your longest stall? I've upped my protein intake, am more active, and nothing is working. I'm getting a little discouraged. Any advice on how to break it?

For the first many months post-op, I would lose 8-10 pounds in as many days and then stall for 10-14 days. Then the cycle would repeat. Just stick to your plan; meet your protein and water goals, and the weight will start to come off again.

7weeks post also , havent lost in a littlebit but im not drinking enough water

I was only 2 weeks post-op and started my first stall. It lasted about 2 and 1/2 Weeks...almost 3 and then I started losing again. But during that time I lost inches in my waist because my belt had dropped like five holes. I was so surprised. I had heard that true weight loss really doesn't start till 6 weeks post-op. Or that's what my nutritionalist said. That any weight you lose before this is bonus weight. And you'll probably go through others as your body adjust and heals.
