It's the 3 week stall. Put that in the search bar near the top of the page and you'll see you're not alone. Good luck.

I had a terrible stall for 2 weeks between 2nd week and 4 weeks post op. I thought I was doomed. Today at 4 weeks and 1 day ost op I finally have a 5 lb. drop. I did have my 3 small meals for a few days and I am trying to increase fluids too. Maybe I will get used to a 2 lb p/week loss. I am trying to get to a place where I can start a good cardio work out and get enough protein and water down. Hang in there, this too shall pass!

I too had a stall from week 2 to week 4 and am happy to say that at 4 weeks and 2 days post op I am again losing and am down 32 pounds since surgery. I too was a little freaked out, but thanks to all the info on the site managed to keep calm and carry on! This too shall pass...and your journey will continue! Check your measurements as you are probably still losing inches.

Weigh once a week and save yourself the unnecessary stress!!!!
Good luck

I'm dealing with the same thing. I'm 3 weeks postop and for the past few days I gained 1 pound and sitting at that weight. I was 199 before surgery, 198 after surgery, now I am 189 after 3 weeks. Im feeling so frustrated. I barely eat. Just tired of the same ole things. Still on liquids. Just hope that I had enough stomach removed to lose weight. Worried!!!

My surgeon, NP and nutritionist say that we are more likely to have slower weight loss from weeks 3-6, so don't worry girls! Keep doing what you are doing! And remember, if you're not dropping the pounds, you could be dropping inches!

Listen to most of these comments, they are right, when you're not losing weight you're losing inches. Thats what happened to me, everyone should take their measurments to see for themselves.

I am totally with you guys! I went into the surgery telling myself not to expect to much to soon. Still, when we are taking in so little, especially compared to pre-surgery, it is hard to believe that the pounds aren't falling off! That said, our bodies are in shock, healing and possibly going in to starvation mode. That is what I have to remind myself multiple times a day. I obsess way to much! I was happy to come across this post because it helps remind me that I am not alone. No one around me understands. Thanks Guys! You all rock

Thanks for all the input, it helps to know that a stall this early is somewhat normal, and not to stress about it. You all are amazing support!
