possible to stall after 9 day?

[DaisyChainOz 410]

Hi guys, I had my Sleeve 9 days ago, and am averaging 430 cals per day. Trying to get my 2 litres of Water, but mostly 1.5 or so.

Still on liquid diet, having one shake in the morning and 2 x 125ml (half cup) serves of home made Soup with Protein Powder for lunch/dinner.

At first the weight was falling off at .5kg (1lb) or more a day. but the last 3 days it hasn't dropped, in fact this morning it was 200 gm (half lb) up.

Not panicking, I know that there will be stalls, but I didn't think at this early stage 🥲 I also know I probs shouldn't weigh everyday, but I *have* to 😝

Today I thought I might try to up the cal intake a bit and get a bit more steps in.

Anyone else have this so early?

I think we first need to define stall here. A true stall is when your weight does not go down even after 2-3 weeks. 3 DAYS does not constitute a stall.

Keep in mind that your body is made up of lots of other "stuff" besides fat. Things that can easily vary from day to day and even hour to hour besides fat:

1. Muscle mass
2. Water weight (did you know that your body is about 60% water?)
3. food weight
4. Stool weight

Of those, the biggest culprits early on are likely water weight and stool weight. The latter one because lots of people struggle with Constipation early after surgery. Water weight can vary for lots of different reasons, but hormone changes, medicines, temperature differences, Fluid consumption rate, stress levels, excess salt consumption, illness and low Protein, potassium or magnesium intake all can contribute to water retention.

I know you said you just HAD to weigh yourself daily, but if you are expecting to always see a nice linear drop in your weight day-to-day, weighing so often is probably not a great idea for you. Remember, this is for the long-haul, so don't stress small variations in your weight. It would be physiologically impossible for you to have literally stopped losing fat at this point.
