Stalled after week two

[brookev 11]

Once I started the week two of full liquids I have not lost any weight. I lost 19 pounds the first week which was great but worried not even a pound has come off in week two. Is this normal? Please note I don't expect the same drop I did the first week by any means but thought at least a pound or two.

Yes, it's totally normal. Look up the "3 week stall," also known as the "third week stall." This phenomenon is so common it even has a name.

NOTE: the third-week stall can start anytime during the 2nd and 4th postoperative week, but usually starts at week 3. You are probably entering your stall / plateau slightly early.

Just keep doing what you're doing and try to stay off the scale...the stall will bust. Also, unless you were super morbidly obese (BMI greater than 50) at surgery, it's unlikely you'll be a 30-pound-a-month loser.

Good luck to you.

Thank you introversion, I was a low BMI of 29. Lost 20 the first week and then nothing this week... thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks again!
