Starting To Wonder!

This Monday I'll be 6 weeks post-op. I was losing 1-3lbs a day, I haven't changed a thing, but now I have only loss 2-3lbs in the past 2.5 weeks. I understand there will be stahls or plateaus everyone hits, but this soon and for this long?

    The first month is always to highest weight loss, and then, for most, it gradually slows down. If everyone lost 1-3lbs a day for the duration, everyone be at goal in 2 months. You are doing great, j

I have to tell the truth I am freaking ecstatic my weight starts with a 2 now. :D

The first month is always to highest weight loss, and then, for most, it gradually slows down. If everyone lost 1-3lbs a day for the duration, everyone be at goal in 2 months. You are doing great, just try to look at it in perspective...would you lose 2-3 pounds a week on your own before surgery...

Don't be discouraged by stalls. Remember you could be losing inches! I always measure my hips, arms, waist, and neck on the 3rd of every month to see how many inches I have lost. That way if I become discouraged at the number on the scale ..I go and look at the inches I am losing! Makes a huge difference on my outlook! And remember, you didn't gain the weight overnight. It just takes time to get it off. Patience grasshopper....it will come...

I hit a stall after 2 weeks post op. How's that for freaking out. I stayed in the stall for almost 3 weeks. Now the scale has be moving again. I'm averaging about 3 lbs a week. Good Luck and seriously have patience it will happen.

I hit a stall about 2 weeks ago (Am 4 weeks out now) and have been on it since. I have not lost anything in 15 days, but have been continuing to follow the plan. I would be thrilled with any pounds. Your loss will probably pick back up. Don't let it get you down, our bodies just need time to adjust. You're doing awesome, keep it up! =)

I feel so much better after reading this...My first two weeks post-op I dropped 25lbs, which amazed me. Now, at the end of week 3 I actually gained a pound back. These stalls must be pretty common. Thanks for the perspective, now I can chill out a little!

I feel I am always in a stall I just need to be patient I get in at least 80grams of Protein and at least 70ozs of Water I eat between 700_800 calories low carbs under 40 I do need to exercise more. I am almost 5 months out and have lost 60lbs of anyone had advice please chime in I did go from a size 18w to a 12/10

I've been stalled for almost 2 weeks! Today was 5 weeks since my surgery and it's really starting to make me think I'm doing something wrong! But I'm not as I log everything I put in my mouth :/ I will be patient as all the veterans say to be and just wait for something to happen I guess???

I feel your frustration. I am 3 1/2 weeks out and this past week I have lost a big fat 0. It's even more frustrating that I was super active this week. I think I'll take piplulas advice and start tracking my inches lost.
