Well I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and I think I may have hit my first stall. But I'm down 40 lbs since starting my pre op diet so I can live with that. Following everything the dr said however they mentioned eating every two hours and I can't eat that much but I am getting my Protein and my fluids in and best news of all NO MORE BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS!!! I do the treadmill a half mile every day and next week I plan on moving to a mile. Any suggestions to get out of this stall. scale hasn't moved since Monday. I know it's normal though. And VETS U DONT HAVE TO CODDLE ME. TELL ME LIKE IT IS.

I am a month out today and was weighed for month f/up..lost 26 lbs since surgery..I AM GEEKED! I have lost this much weight in my 20yr serious weight struggle..It is slow and I stalled for a week (body holding to pureed phase..I guess)...But never the less I have lost inches and a pants size.. Who does that!!We do!! No worried ..we will go thru our stalls while our bodies adjust (doctor says)..yo are doing great with the walking..just wait til you add cardio..I'm proud of you and your hussle!!!! Keep it up!!!

First off how are you defining a stall? I don't consider it a stall unless it has lasted a week or more. Normal weight loss looks like a set of stairs not a down slope. It has fits and starts. If you are following plan you don't have to do anything, it will come off. I hit a short stall (8 days) at 3 weeks, it just happens and you just need to ride it out. Read an interesting article that basically said fat cells don't like to shrink. They try to hold their volume, so they will absorb Water to keep their volume before they finally break down and shrink. That is why you get the stall, followed by a drop.
