One Week Stall?

[_2juicy_ 13]

I had my gastric sleeve surgery 10/1 and went from 296 to 282 by the one week doctor's visit on 10/9. Now I'm stuck there. I'll be three weeks post op on tuesday and the scale is not budging... no matter what. I've been on full liquids, and will start soft foods this weekend. I'm getting pretty frustrated because I've heard of the three week stall, but never the one week stall. Am i doing something wrong? How am i not losing weight only eating a small amount and liquids at that.

LOL! The "three week stall" term refers to the first stall many people experience, which happens (typically) when people are around Week Three post-op.

Honey, that's what you're dealing with.

Ignore it. Just keep doing your program. And if it bothers you, stay off the scales.

There are no other solutions.

Goodness it's so discouraging. Every day I wake up thinking maybe today is the day the scale will change and ...nope 282. I'm almost as sick of 282 as I am with Protein Drinks lol

It's the exact same for me. It's so discouraging

I stalled about a week to a week and a half out too. It stinks! Hang in there!

My stall was 2 weeks long, don't focus on the short time, look at the bigger picture and take a look at before and after pics.

It helped me stay focused on the prize and finally my stall ended and the lbs are dropping again???? good luck

My stall also started about 3 weeks after surgery and lasted about 3.5 weeks, but then the weight loss started again! Don't get discouraged! Keep in mind how much you've lost already and the weight loss will start again!

I'm at a stall as well I'm stuck at 211,212....I'm 3wks and just started my soft stage....I only get about 300 calories but not even close to my Protein intake at 60g but I'm going to stay away from the scale and up my protein and continue to do what I'm doing...hopefully the scale will budge in the next two weeks or so...Good Luck!!
