i am approximately 1 month and 2 weeks post-op. I lost around 35 pounds of weight over three weeks. Then it stopped. The scale goes up and down by 3-4 pounds every day I weigh on it, sometimes even during multiple times of weight the same day. I drink lots and lots of liquids - definitely not a hydration issue. I do not exercise very much. Surgeon says that stalls are normal and can last one month. Am I in a stall? Will it go away?

You are experiencing the stall that happens at 3-5 weeks out. Usually lasts a week or two. Your body is playing catch up and is trying to hold on to Water. Try for a day or two to up your calories and just keep drinking your fluids and your Protein. I am 3 months post op and just got over my second stall. First one was at 3 weeks out lasted for about two weeks and this one lasted for 4 weeks.
