I am at 5 weeks post op and am at a standstill with my weight.
I was very sick for about 2 weeks and am just now able to incorporate soft foods into my diet.
I want to continue to lose slowly, wondering if anyone else has experience they can share ?

How long standstill? From my experience protein is very important...

Stop weighing yourself every day - Keep on the journey and it will break lose and you will start losing again

If you're following your surgeon's plan, then you've just hit your first stall. Almost everyone has their first stall sometime during the first 4-6 weeks after surgery. Just stick to your plan and the weight will start to drop again.

Oh the infamous 3 week stall that hits anywhere between weeks 2 and 6. ((hugs)) It's awful. Hang in there!!

If you're getting your protein and water in then yes, this is the normal 2-5 week stall. Can happen anytime in there. My weight loss slowed (but didn't stall) to 1-2 pounds a week during that time. I'd be the exact same weight 2 or 3 or even 4 days in a row (down to the tenth) and then I'd lose 1 pound. Did that for about 3 weeks and lost 6 pounds over 3 days over Thanksgiving. Now I'm back to about a pound a day.

All that to say, this is normal. You'll make it through. Yours might be a little longer since you're just now integrating normal foods.

Im at my 4 week stall. But I am losing inches. I expected it from the comments on this forum

Got Bronchitis that affected my asthma. Needed to get dreaded steroid shot. Gained 4 lbs overnight! Hope it comes off & then doesn’t produce stall. Never had that Initial 2-5 week stall. I’m about 10 weeks out.

I do weigh myself every day. Sometimes I stall, sometimes I lose weight, sometimes I put on a pound. But over the months, the overall trend has been downwards. If you're doing the right thing, it will come off.

In my support group- one of our mantras is trust the process. I’ve never been fast loser. But I’m steadily losing. Then of course having to take 2 steroid shots from having bronchitis that affected my asthma showed 4 lb weight gain literally overnight! Tried not to panic. It came off but it was definite set back in overall weight loss. Nothing I could do but just keep moving forward.
