So I had my surgery June 26th, and just past my 3rd week and only lost 1 pound. I am walking every day and have progressed up to 5k steps a day and not losing. I am in my puree phase and my typical day is a half an avocado, Greek yogurt, and tuna mashed. My snacks are a SF popsicle, SF jello, or unsweetened apple sauce. After surgery I was not able to drink the premier shakes as they induced nausea so I have been using an unflavored protein powder and mixing in a Zero powerade and water with crystal light. Not sure what I may be doing wrong and this Friday I start my soft food phase and not sure what my menu will be yet. Any help would be appreciated

I am down 21 pounds from the day I came home though. Just this last week was when I only lost 1

Stay the course. I've had a week were I only lost a pound then the next week I lost eight. Did nothing different! Trust the process and follow the doctors instructions. That's my advice.

I had mine in March I'm down 26 lbs. Just keep going it will come off. Like everyone says. It will happen. I've been bummed that I haven't lost much. But I have NSV all the time. Everybody's different. ❤❤

I just did a search on this site for "the three week stall" for you. Over 17,000 posts on this phenomenon. This happens to almost all of us.

See how it goes the next week but all that walking maybe be adding muscle which weighs more than fat

Yep, you’re in a stall and it won’t be your only one through this process. They may last a week, two or more. I thought of them as my body saying: ‘Stop! Hang on. What the hell on you doing to me?’ It was like my body needed to take breath to catch up to the changes I was making & forcing it to become used to.

Don’t worry your weight loss will start again. Just give it time.

I had my surgery just a day before you and reading what you have gone through i myself have had 1 week so far of a stall and just started going down again 1 or 2 pounds but i also experienced nausea well not so much nausea but like a burn or acid reflux with the premier protein so i have muscle milk protein powder and mix it with unsweetened almond milk and its not bad but you gave me a good tip with the unflavored protein powder.
