Week #3 Numbers. :-(

By funinthesun00

· 892 views

Here are my numbers so far:

 

1/18 DOS 179

Week #1 171 (-8)

Week #2 167.4 (-3.6) 11.6 total

Week #3 165.8 (-1.6) 13.2 total

 

So only a 1.6 lb loss for the week. I told myself before surgery that I would be fine when I stall and/or the weightloss slows down. I have to admit, this has been very hard. I am doing well from the standpoint of getting all of my protein and fluids in. My calorie intake is between 450-700 calories a day, but being on liquids for 3 full weeks is tough! I am not "hungry" but I'm not satisfied either. My energy level is pretty low too.

 

I can't believe I only lost 1.6 lbs this week. What's crazy is the last 2 days I was at 165.4 and this morning I woke up .4 lbs heavier. Seriously? I hope I don't hit the dreaded 3 week stall on top of this. Ugh. I also worked out 3 times this week doing cardio. This is crazy. My original hope was to drop 15 lbs in the first month and then hopefully 6-10 lbs per month after that. Now I'm thinking that may be unrealistic. Last week, I would have said I am definitely on track to lose 15 lbs my first month. Now, I'm not so sure. Each week that weight loss has slowed down to about half of what it was the week before. If the trend holds, I won't make it. Hopefully, that trend will break this week. We'll see. I think all my past yo-yo dieting has really screwed with my metabolism.

    Hang in there and stick with it. Your weight gain could be attributed to several factors, including the replacement of glycogen stores. Many people on here say your body stores 4oz or water for each 1 oz of glycongen stored.

    If you stick to your 450-700 calories a day, your body may fight to hang onto every calorie it can. But eventually it will have to burn those calories for fuel.

    I was stuck for about 8 days during my 3rd week. Weight wouldn't come off at all, then I had a MASSIVE POOP and was down over a pound that day. :-P

    Since then, I know that I've had at least one other week where I was stuck at a certain weight for the week, then the weight just started falling again.

    Thanks joatsaint! I am trying not to get too down about it. I am really surprised that it is effecting my mood so much. I guess I just feel like I have been through so much and have eaten so little these last 21 days, that my weight would be falling off at this point. In my head, I know it will happen. There is a part of me, though, that is scared that this won't work for me.
