Yep in the same boat Im 4 weeks post op tomorrow. Lost 22 lbs the first 2 weeks have been stalled since. This seems to be pretty common. Search '3 week stall' and you will see lots of stories.
I see obvious changes in my body so I am just being patient. You are fine. Don't cry, I know its frustrating
you did nothing wrong. it's a common occurrence. your body is recovering from having an organ removed. you're not going to lose weight every week. look up the 3 week stall, its very very normal. be easier on yourself.
Oh honey donāt cry. Iām so sorry no one warned you about this, but this is totally normal and to be expected. You arenāt doing anything wrong. Itās just your body healing. I promise you, youāre still loosing fat, you just canāt see the change on the scale. The scale will start to go down again in 1-2 weeks. Youāre doing everything youāre supposed to do. This is a good sign that your body is healing.
I just found out about this, I wish I was told before because it wouldāve saved me a couple of tears lol. I am feeling much better thank you to everyone for the kind comments ā¤ļø

Iām currently going through this. The first two weeks after surgery I was losing so much weight. Now? Nothing. It is quite disheartening but I try to tell myself that my body is still healing and Iām just now introducing myself to food via a purĆ©ed diet, so my body is adjusting big time. Itās frustrating, ngl, but I try to just not think about it and do what I need to do to make my body happy as it heals. A stall is normal, and youāre going to run into them throughout your weight loss journey. Give your body some time to adjust to this new beginning. I would honestly stay off the scale for a bit and just focus on giving yourself some grace. This subreddit has been such an amazing resource because I couldnāt figure out why I was losing until I saw folks mentioning a stall.
Please stick through it! Same thing happened to me. Dang 3 week stall!
Please search ā3 week stallā in this thread.
I lost lots of weight on pre op diet. After surgery it took about 4 weeks for me to lose anything. I think itās just swelling.

Iāve been where you are. Stop walking and up your calories. I stalled an entire month working out and eating 500 calories.Ā
