Hi everyone

I am feeling sad , I stalled in week 3 and now I gained 2lbs and don't know why ? I am doing everything that my surgeon and diteian has told me .

Has any one else had this problem in such a early stage ,

I have under active thyroid problem could this be the reason

The only thing I know is many people stall in week 3 for a week or so. It is really common. Also, is it close to your time of the month? That could be it a little too.

Good day... I stalled at week three also, it lasted for 3.5 weeks. It's disheartening, but everyone here encouraged me to just keep doing all the right things and it would work out. I only weighed myself once a week for the first two weeks of the stall, but the next week and a half I weighed every day. I too would go up 2 lbs, then back down. I was getting depressed, but believe me, it will happen. I ended up losing 4.5 lbs overnight. In just three days actually. Since then, I have lost another 4-5 lbs a week for the past couple weeks. It is like standing on a set of steps, you wait and wait, but then jump three at time to catch up to others. Just keep doing what is right. Your body is just holding on to the solids because of the starvation mode it was in with liquids. Good luck to you.

Yepp! I stalled in week two and then gained up to 4 lbs. I was so discouraged. I am now a little past 3 weeks and went down the 4 lbs and am waiting to move the scale somewhere I had not seen yet.

We have to just hang in there. It will work just keep doing what your suppose to. I know if I am not eating right, then I decided I will worry , other than that it is just the waiting game.

Tracey, I think everyone stalls in week 3...and female sleevers usually gain a pound or two at that time of the month, whether we still actively have a TOM or not!

Have you taken your measurements? Are your clothes getting looser? Do you have more energy? All of these things are NSVs, or non-scale victories. You really should look for them, because there are going to be times where the scale doesn't move for days and weeks as you get further out. It can be very disheartening unless you make it a point to look for the NSVs. I lost my first pants size during a "stall". I hadn't lost any weight in over a week, but my pants fell off me during that stall.

Your body sometimes needs a little adjustment period to deal with the rapid weight loss. Don't worry, you WILL lose weight again!

I actually stalled 6 days post op (after losing 10lbs in 6 days) for about one week and 2 days. I am now on week 3 and losing about 1/5 to 1lb a day. I think everyone stalls just keep

Focused

Thanks everyone for all your support , I alway but protein first then carbs but not too much carbs I hope I doing things right , I am on soft stage right now x
