It's Been Two Weeks...no Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Hey guys is it normal not to have any weight loss for two weeks? I'm 40 days out...lost 28 lbs and doing about 700-800 cal a day with 81-106 grams of Protein ( per the nut's request). The only thing is that I havn't done the walking/working out hardly at all ( my bad!). But I would think that I would lose something. The nut doesn't seem too bothered by it...but ya know how we can get if nothing comes off....So words of wisdom from everyone....Thanks so much.

Yup, it's so normal that it happens to most people. Usually around the 3-4 week mark. It's called a "stall" and they've been known to last anywhere from 1week to 4months+. The good news is that the earlier stalls typically dont last more than 3weeks. Not saying they can't. But they usually don't. You can expect this to happen periodically through your journey.

From everything I have read...it seems pretty normal to me. I had my surgery on July 2nd and it seems stalls are inevitable. Just try to start exercising and keep up with your Protein and things should be just fine!

At 4 weeks I didn't lose a thing. Then at 5 weeks I gained 3 lbs. I was upset. But I kept following the rules and it started coming off again. I am at almost three mths now and doing awesome!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
