No Loss

I'm a little depressed. I'm only two weeks out and lost 15 pounds the first week. Not a single pound since then. Am I eating too much? Doing something wrong? Soo frustrating

I think your body is in shock and catching up. Don't worry.

Don't worry. I am almost 6 weeks out. Lost 15 lbs the first 2 weeks. Then nothing since then. I just figure that my body is in shock. It will come off eventually:)

Almost everyone experiences the "three week stall". Search for it and you will see. Just keep eating on plan and the weight will come off!

I am the same way! Lost on preop and first week then - nothing! Been 16 days since surgery and I can eat almost any well chewed protein and even well chewed junk. Trying to refocus and not be too hard on myself- after all I am on 16 days in.

Me either! I will be three wks post op tomorrow. Lost 23 lbs right away, now GAIN of 3!!!! WT..???

sooo frustrating. No way its real weight...but it needs to go away soon!!!

I've lost 32 lb's including pre op weight loss, up until 3 weeks after surgery. Then, 3 weeks of no weight loss. Frustrating but I'm hanging in there :)

Are you drinking enough water? Dr told me yesterday that if I don't hydrate enough my body will go into hoarding mode and store unwanted pounds. It's our bodies way of protecting itself from starvation.

Oh, I feel your pain! I'm five weeks out iand in a major stall after loosing 30 total, 17 of which have been post surgery. It's so frustrating. I think I'm doing everything right, but it makes me wonder. How long do these stalls last? I have hashimotos disease also, but I'm taking my thyroid meds......

Stalls happen! Kind of need the tshirt for us sleevers - ya know...instead of sh** happens!! :) I stalled at week 3, and now again at 4 months out! I haven't lost a pound in 2 weeks - and I started exercising this week with the couch to 5k program! I am increasing my water and I am going to start journaling my food and being REALLY careful with carbs (a few too many little crackers and chips may have been sneaking in!)

I refuse to stress though.....honestly, if I never lost another pound, I wouldn't freak out! I am the smallest I have been in a dozen plus years, I am healthier than I have ever been. I like the way I look, and can't IMAGINE being smaller....so if it happens - what a blessing!

AT my current weight and height, I am still considered obese until I am under 200 pounds,,,then have to be 180 to be at a normal weight...that is my goal. I just refuse to freak out anymore. I am so thankful for this tool and the progress I have made...

I know you think it won't work for you...but it will. Take some deep breaths and relax...it WILL WORK! We have failed so many times before, we just can't believe it -

it is amazing....I know!

God bless you and hold on - it's a heck of a ride! :)

Dr told me to monitor calories and try to get 1000 per day..... I'm not even close! All I have been watching is protein and vitamins... Dr said I am not eating enough to lose weight! Go figure- from too much to not enough in 5 short weeks!
