Change up your calorie intake. Take a couple of days to add more calories. If your intake is too low your body enters starvation mode and it is hard to lose weight. You can also try intermittent fasting. I did 8:16 IF and that worked well for me. Also try looking up calorie confusion dieting. Make sure you meet or exceed your Protein and Water goals too.

just stick to your plan and stay off your scale. Your weight loss WILL start up again. Trust me. No need to do anything with your calories. I would answer this differently if you were several months out and had stalled for more than a month, but with you being less than a month out, no. This early stall happens to everyone, and it typically lasts 1-3 weeks. Just stay the course and follow your surgeon's plan.

you're in a different position than the original poster since you're 10 months out. Six weeks is a bit long for a stall - you may be in maintenance. Are you still tracking all your food? I would think you'd still be losing at 750-900 calories. I guess it COULD be a really long stall = in which case, it might be worth it to switch things up like the others have said - but if you're not still weighing/measuring and tracking your food, I'd start with that..

she's only three weeks out - it's the infamous three-week stall. Pretty much everyone has that. Best thing to do is just stay the course - and stay off the scale 🙂
