Everybody is different. I would say this early on, it could be approx. 3 weeks. If it goes on more than that I would probably call the Clinic and tell them what's going on. You may need to "up" your calories or drop some carbs. Stalls can happen when our body thinks it's starving. If you eat more, it kick starts things again.
You are so early out though that I think its just a body adjustment, some shock. You have lost well to start with.
Hang in for a bit and see what happens. Again, if nothing moving in a month, call the clinic and see what they have to say.

A stall early on is very typical. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Hang in there, your body is just adjusting. The losses will keep on coming.

So i just had my surgery on sept 16th which was a sleeve recovery has went well and have been able to keep food down no problem and lost over 45lbs since the surgery but no ive gotten down to 350 and have hit a plateau even though ive been active at the gym but no loss just wondering if theres anything im doing wrong or if there is something i need to change in my diet that may help?
I highly suggest losing 5-10 more lbs to give yourself a buffer for bounceback.

Almost at goal - 1 more pound (although I'm aiming to maintain between 155 - 159, with 160 being the red flag to get back to basics if I get there.
I have my 1 year appointment at hospital next week - I'm happy with my progress, hope the team agrees!
My food for today:
B: 1 hard boiled egg, sugar free source yogurt with a few strawberries added; decaf coffee with Fairlife milk (love this stuff - the protein low cal is so great!)
L: 1 baked chicken thigh with coleslaw mix, 1 sugar free jello pudding
Snack: 1 gala apple; 5 almonds
D: 4 oz crockpot pork tenderloin, with a few sugar snap peas, celery & 1 tbsp. roasted red pepper dip
Snack: Vega Sport Protein with water
Before bed: probably cheese string or babybel with 2 crackers (find I need to eat something just before bed or my sugars drop too much during the night)
Not sure what carbs people eat and stay successful - I've been experimenting and so far find the following working for me:
Carbquick (made amazing raisin scones with Brown Sugar Splena); ww whole wheat bread, Dimpilmeir Power Slice (15 g protein, so great with peanut butter and sugar free jam) Blue Menu Protein pancakes; Hold the Carbs Muffin mix (added blueberries, great!)
Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks, Sunny
