First stall & questions

I lost 21 lbs and then the past 3 days nothing. I know stalls happen. I know I am having problems getting in all of my Water and Protein. I assume this is why? Emotionally it just tends to feel like the scale will never move again. I just now feel better as far as pain goes and I'm 12 days out. Any other ideas?

Weigh yourself weekly instead of daily. We know stress can lead to other health problems, so it is possible it could inhibit weight-loss.

Your body is like an airplane about to land, it needs to level off a few times as it descends.

Don't sweat it, stay focused on working on your head and sticking to your program.

try to get all your fluids in and try increasing calories for a day....need to fool your body that there isn't a famine and it's okay to let the fat go. I was on about a two week stall then one day I was down 3 lbs.

vsgkirk has good advice....it's hard to not weigh ourselves everyday. I still do it, but I keep in mind that I will have stalls, but I continue to eat right.

Thank you! And I suddenly feel able to take normal sized swallows. That's normal too, right?

I am three weeks post sleeve; 276 lbs. Lost 13 pounds the first week, now the last two a big fat ZIP. Sooo discouraging. I will say that the second week my caloric intake was very low, and I did not hit my protein and fluid targets. But now for the last 4 days my calorie intake is just over 900 and my protein is at least 85 grams. I am walking daily and have been all along. please someone tell me that weighloss will follow!!! Sooo sad.
