Scale won’t budge 16 days post op

I am ready to pull my hair out. SW 266 i lost 16 lbs on pre op diet so before VSG I was 251. I am 16 days post op and I was down to 241 but I started puréed and now the scale will not move from 243.5, it has been five days and I’m going crazy. I thought two weeks post op that I would lose more weight than this. Is it normal to have a stall this early? Thanks

    Lots of people do. You are not alone. Be patient. Be consistent. And then, be patient again. LOL...you'll get there.

What she said! Stalls are frustrating and a little scary. You are definitely not alone. :)

I’m at 8 weeks post op and have been stalled for 11 days now. It is so frustrating. But lots of sleeve veterans have assured me that it’s perfectly normal to have stalls throughout the process!! Good luck!

Same exact thing happened to me. It’s so frustrating. Hopefully we just need to wait it out and the stall will end soon!
