No Weight Loss post op 2 weeks? Too soon for a stall? Insight?

The two weeks prior to my surgery I lost 10 lbs.  The two days after surgery I lost 3 lbs.   I am now am two week post op but have not lost any weight.  I get all my protein in and all my fluids.  I am still on full liquids phase of the post op diet.  Is it normal to not be losing weight for two weeks? 

Sorry but u r right on track for stall. It should only last for a couple of days just hang in there. It will start back. U will go through several stalls so just stay on track and it will start. Good luck.

Thank you for replying.  It seems so early for a stall but glad to hear that it happens this soon.  So odd.  

Actually, you are running a bit late for the classic third week stall, as the clock starts when you start the weight loss program rather than at time of surgery, so with your pre-op loss, you are four weeks into this (which assumes that our bodies follow a set schedule for such things, which they don't!)

Here is a great article that explains the physiology of what's happening at this stage -

Keep doing what you are doing and let life happen. As a side note, once your body catches up and starts losing again, it will probably be at a somewhat slower pace, as that initial loss of glycogen is "cheap" and happens quickly, but once that has been depleted we start dipping into our fat reserves which burns more slowly than glycogen, but that's what we are here for - getting rid of that fat!

Good article.  Thank you for the link, it was very helpful for some insight. 

Oh my go****his makes so much sense. I couldn't figure out why at one week post-op I hadn't lost weight (was it fluid from surgery? a shock to my system? was I the only person on the planet this wouldn't work for?). Now I realize that was probably my 3 week stall!!! Now I'm down a total of 26 lbs since my pre-op diet, I'm 11 days post -op, and I couldn't be happier!

Thanks for your informative response!

Completely normal! That early in the game, I think your body is trying to figure out what has happened to it. Just trying to catch up to the major major changes. Everyone is different. I personally have a stall every month. I wont loose for a week, sometimes 2 - then I will loose great for 2 weeks. I am a "stair step looser". It can be very very frustrating, but its temporary. You will start loosing again for sure! 

Normal is good.  Thank you for telling me it is normal, hard to process a stall and to be patient with it. 

Hang in there... your body has a lot to adjust to.  Measure yourself... you are likely losing inches. Measuring now will help you to weather future stalls too. 

Good tip.  I will do that.
