Ok..my surgery date was Friday May 6, almost three weeks and I am still 180 ish ( up 1 down 1) I am following my dr plan exactly. I am on mushys, getting 64 oz water and walking 45 min a day.........I tried going up a little with fat, ...with cals.....now what? I am afraid I will not lose any weight, or not as much as I want. I expected around 10 lbs a month. Is this reasonable? Uggggg anyone else have a stall right in the beginning? I am really disappointed. It effects my whole day and additude.

You are right on the edge of the 3 week stall. Most people have this happen. You can search it on here. There are few that don't go through it.

Promise? Seems like most lose some weight first.

You body is just in shock. Give it time to readjust its electrolites and fluids. Dont give up at all, it will come off.

Up your Water intake a few more oz if you can, you may still be "bloated" from the surgery. Mix things up a bit, through in a few squats or lunges durning your walk. make your body guess.

It WILL come off. just one of many plateaus to go through on your journey.

Good luck!!

Thanks for the input and encouragement.

I hit my stall around the same time. I adjusted my diet (lowered my carb intake to less than 30 grams a day) and increased my water intake dramatically to 80-96 ounces of day. That got things moving and they haven't stopped. I have been averaging about 15 pounds a month.

Ok thanks GreenEyedMamma, I will try that today. My carbs are 15-20 grams, never more, but I will increase the water today.

Ugh the dreaded stalls. We all go through them. It will be fine. You will eventually drop. Try not to stress, and enjoy your journey...hugs

Ps try NOT to weigh everyday, that's stressful, and does NOT help

I said today I was gonna make a conscious effort to lower my carbs

I am gonna up my water to 80 or more also...omg I live in the bathroom now
