The only thing that breaks a stall is time. The 3-5 week stall is something that every single one of us went through. Your body is in shock and just holds on for a couple of weeks. After that, the weight loss picks up.

It is not unusual.

It is nothing to be afraid of if you are a pre-op. Do a search for 3 week stall and you will see hundreds of people with the same experience. And every single one of them got through it and went on to lose a lot more weight.

Seriously - step away from the scale. Put it away. Try to focus on how loose your clothes are starting to feel and how different your face looks (we all lose the face fat first). At this early date there is no way on earth you are messing up the program. Adding Water or Protein may make you feel better, but the stall breaks when your body feels comfy enough to let the water go. Cals in are less than cals burned and this will always add up to weight loss.

Hang in there!

Excellent advice! As much as I do get frustrated with the slow weight loss I am experiencing, this is the pep talk we all need to hear!

Thanks!

I have had two stalls that lasted between 4-6 weeks, the first one was at 2 1/2 weeks! I am almost at goal. Do not compare your weightloss to others, you are NOT them. Just keep on track, and your weight will melt off bit by bit. Try and enjoy the ride! Sometimes its a rollercoaster (which we paid to ride on remember?) and sometimes its looks like its standing still. ALL NORMAL. I am almost at one year, and really, the time has flown by. I only lose about 2-3 pounds a month now, but its still going in the right direction. You will be here sooner than you think!
