Help! Is this normal?

[achieng]

I had my surgery less than a month ago on 4/3. At my follow-up appointments after, I was weighed and was thrilled to find that I was losing weight. At one of those appointments, I was switched to pureed food. Around the same time, I also resumed my normal exercise, which is cardio most days of the week.

I weighed myself again yesterday and found that I haven't lost any weight in the last two weeks (although, it may have been a few pounds difference for clothes, etc). Is that normal? I totally expected to hit a plateau SOMETIME, but definitely not in the first month! Has this happened to you guys?

Thanks so much for your wisdom--I have found this community very helpful!

My only advice is to keep doing what you're doing.

They body is smart, and will make adjustments throughout your journey. If you find you are being true to diet and exercise, the results should come.

If you are still at a stand still in a few weeks, concern should be had for the plan. Until then, try to stay positive, and keep on trucking!

I had a stall in the 280's. I was pretty sure that was the smallest I would ever get. It was about 6 weeks if memory servers.

Hang in there! You got this!

yes, it's very normal. It happens to a lot of people right at 3 weeks.
As long as your pureed food isn't ice cream, you're probably fine.

Thanks so much! That is very re-assuring!

They call it the 3 week stall ( as Ann says, it's even on Google!)
Put your scales away for a bit if its messing with you but do not fear, you are not a freak of nature and you will lose wight! True story :-)

Most people hit a stall between weeks 2 and 5 sometimes with week 3 being the most common and hence it is the notorious Three Week Stall. It has a name and everything. You are probably still losing inches. Just keep following the plan.
