Leather'nLace 187 Posted September 9, 2016 I've heard about the infamous 3rd week stall, but I've been stalled since Day 6! I'm 17 days post op. I dropped 9 pounds in the first 6 days and since then the scale hasn't budged. I'm meeting my Protein and liquid goals. Any suggestions on getting this going?

Bufflehead 6,358 Posted September 9, 2016 If you are following your plan that is all you can do. Stay off the scale for at least a couple of weeks and keep doing what you are supposed to . . . the weight loss will pick up again, I promise, but you can't force it and there is no use stressing yourself out over it. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelliev2015 136 Posted September 10, 2016 I'm 5 weeks post op and I did the exact same thing! I lost 9 pounds in a week and then stalled for 9 days. After that, I started losing a pound a day. Be patient. Your body is adjusting to your new way of life and needs to realize it's not starving before letting go of the extra fat. [emoji3] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
