Stall ?

Hello everyone! Tomorrow will be 3 weeks post op. I'm following my diet as instructed. I also started exercising. Seems I've hit a stall? Could this happen so soon? By no means am I complaining, I've never lost weight this fast in my life. Just seems that my clothes are falling off and I can see the weight loss. Just wondering why I'm not seeing the scale move. I've been stuck at this weight for almost a week. Thanks !

3 weeks out is very common. Be patient. Your body is readjusting itself. The scale will start moving again soon. :D

I'm right there with you! Tomorrow will start week 3 and I've been the same weight all of week 2. Yet, I feel like I've lost inches. I understand this is expected during this time, so I'll just keep on doing what I'm supposed to. You're not alone! :)

Normal :D

Thanks for the responses...I feel better now !

I stalled at 3weeks also. I think a lot of people do. It's your body's way of trying to hang on. But eventually it will let go of the weight. Don't stress just keep moving forwards

Same thing happened to me. Now I'm one month tomorrow and started losing again this weekend. I think our bodies hang on and I'm eating about 400 calories a day so it will keep moving off. It's hard to be patient. My SW was 205 now I'm 183

I stalled week 3 too. Weight started coming off again last weekend. And I'm 4 weeks post op today!! 34lbs gone from pre op to now. I've lost almost 6lb a week. Amazing. Never lost this much weight without starving myself. Happy me!

I am stalled too. So glad I am not alone. Would hate to have had surgery to just lose 30 pounds

I stalled at 3 1/2 weeks with a measly 12 pound loss and the scale has not moved in over a month!! I'm doing everything I'm supposed to..protein..water..etc :-( the only thing keeping me sane is I AM losing inches..I am swimming in some of my tops :-) hang in there..keep reading positive posts!

Thanks again for all the responses. So glad I'm not alone. I'm still at the same spot on my scale... I hope I start losing lol. Not giving up :)

I'm stalled at three weeks also. It seems pretty standard with everyone so far. So long as we keep to our plans I'm positive we will all be moving along again. Hell, I've never lost 22 lbs so quick in my life so I'll be patient...... Kinda

OMG I'm 3 weeks out going on four and same weight for three days....I want to CRY! I'm so depressed....do you continue on the phase (puréed) or go back to full liquids? Right now I want to scream and throw my scale. I feel so helpless!

Yes- I'm going back to liquids! Lol

I stalled from 2.5 to 4 weeks! I went back to mostly protein shakes and upped my water and it broke dramatically with a 6.5 pound loss on the scale. Finally!! I was so depressed during the stall :(
