3 weeks post op - Weight loss stall

I am 3 weeks out from a VSG 9/25/2018. I feel like things are improving, but I can't seem to get all of the water and protein in me a day I need. I just don't have the room. On top of that, the scale has stopped moving. Very frustrating. Anyone else have this problem?

Search "3 week stall" in here and you will find hundreds of posts. It is very common to hit a stall at about the 3 week mark, and they last a varied amount of time. Your body is hanging on for dear life trying to figure out why you aren't feeding it anymore like you used to! Stay the course, stick to your plan, and the weight will start dropping again. My first stall came at 3 weeks, and lasted 5.5 weeks...but I stuck to my guns and then the weight just dropped off!!

The most important thing right now is to make sure you get your minimum 64 oz of fluids in per day. Try to get your protein in, but fluids are critical. If you get dehydrated it can be dangerous. Also remember that all liquids count toward your 64 oz...water, protein shakes, broth, SF jello, anything that is liquid.

To get everything in you have to have something to drink in your hands at all times, sipping constantly. You can do it!!

P.S. Ignore the scale for a while...you'll be better off!

Congratulations! You are smack dab in the middle of normal!

Stalls will happen. If you're doing your job, stalls will end.

Find a way to get your water in. It's the most important thing right now. You can do it.

If you don't get your water in, you will get very sick. Make drinking your job.
