Stalling one week in?

[ElseeG 67]

I had surgery on 3/19, and I haven’t lost an ounce in three days. I have lost 11 so far. I have 90g Protein, net carbs 20 and 550 calories. Exercise is treadmill for half hour.

Has as anyone else gone through this?

These are called 3-week stalls. They happen randomly. Some patients see them within the first month. Others see them around the 3rd month, 6th month or 9th month.

They will happen multiple times during the course of your weight loss. Once the stall breaks, you will see a drop in weight.

Yep! I had this at the end of week one through week four.

I’m now six and a half weeks out and since the stall, I’ve lost 18 pounds. Probably because I traveled for the first time and wasn’t as prepared with food as I should have been but 18 nonetheless!

I spoke with my surgeon’s office. They told me to move on to soft food because my body should work to digest food at this point. Also told me to increase exercise to 60 continuous minutes.

I went through a very similar situation. I stalled 1 week post op, for almost 2 weeks. I had lost 27lbs in the Pre Op diet and then another 11lbs in the first week. It wasn't until I started eating soft foods and increased my calories that I started to loose again. I also started exercise at about 5 weeks post op.
