I’m 2 1/2 weeks post-op. Started mushy foods gained weight past 3 days.

I am 3 days post-OP and dont seem to be losing anything yet... trying to stay positive.

They lost you with all the iv fluids. It takes awhile to take it off. Give it a week and I bet you will see you are losing. Good luck!

Ditto gabybab. Plus I lost in waves. Didn’t lose any for a few days then boom. Then stall a few days then boom. Hang in there.

That's pretty normal, don't sweat it. Your body has just been through a major trauma. Give it time.

Welcome to the "three/third week stall" which happens to most everyone no matter what diet phase they may be in. Functionally, it is when your body has burned off all of its short term glycogen stores (basically stored carbohydrate) and starts to shift over to burning your stored fat - which is what you are here for! Also, don't be alarmed if your loss is a bit slower once you resume losing, as it takes more calories to burn the fat than it does the glycogen.

Great article! Thank you

I only lost weight the first week. I had a good loss tbh. Then I gained like 5-6 the following three weeks. It was demotivating but I stuck through. I had read about this online. Starting 5th week, I dropped 10lbs in a week. It was a good motivator. Hang in there.
