I had my surgery 2 weeks yesterday and I have been on a stall for over a week now... Is it normal to be on a stall this early? I just want to keep losing, I'm ready to lose this weight! I've lost a total of 26 lbs which is great but I just am frustrated that I'm at a stall already.. I'm drinking lots of Water hoping it will break the stall.. Any suggestions will help, thanks!

The suggestions are pretty simple. Get your Protein and Water in. Get up and move, at least get in plenty of walking. Stick with your plan. Make sure you're getting enough sleep.

You've had pretty significant weight loss already and your body is likely just taking a break to adjust - the timing on stalls is different for everyone, so don't worry just yet. I'm betting that if you were to compare your measurements that you'd likely find they're still dropping even if the scale hasn't budged this week (and if you haven't started tracking your measurements, I suggest you start right now).

I know that if the scale stops moving for more than a couple of weeks I'm supposed to call my dietician, but otherwise I'm not supposed to overly worry about stops and starts.

If you want some additional ideas, dealing with stalls is a regular topic here. If you use the search function and hunt for the word "stall" you'll likely find a flood of different approaches.

Good luck!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
