Hi,

No you are good, it just takes awhile for your body to adjust. I would stall and then drop 5-10lbs, I am sure you are doing just great!

Good luck!

I am two weeks today and I haven't lost one pound in like six or seven days.nyes, it is extremely frustrating. But if your following the plan, which I am sure you are there isn't much we can do, but wait.

Same here.... 18 days from surgery, haven't lost in 8 days. Even though I know it's just my body trying to catch up, it's extremely frustrating, I agree.

Hey Bella. Let m kno when you break it, we are pretty much the same or near starting weight!

Well I'm still stalled its been about 8 days I'm really starting to worry like I can eat as much as I want or rather about a quarter to half a cup but can eat every couple of hours. So I'm wondering if I'm eating too much and that's why I'm not losing although eating half a cup is a lot less than I used to. It's just frustrating loosing so quickly and now not losing anything I'm feeling like I'm feeling somehow.

You're not failing. You're in the legendary 3 week stall. Almost everyone experiences it. Do a search on 3 week stall and you'll see. Just stick to your plan and it will break. Your body is just trying to catch up to the weight you lost quickly in the first two weeks. Give it a little time and keep following your plan.

I am 23 days post op and have not lost weight for 13 days. 13. No joke. I'm doing everything right. I drink 80oz water, I eat 50gr protein. The only thing to add is exercise, but my doctor was hesitant until I was 6 weeks out. So I can walk and do light things. I feel different and my clothes are looser. Went down a bra size and a shoe size. I've lost 30 total pounds since start of liquid pre-op diet. 30 pounds lost is great in a month and endpoint tells me I look great. So, yes, stalls suck!!! But, your body is still changing.

It does! I'm 21 days post op today, stalled for the last 10 days, and lo and behold it broke this morning. Lost two pounds. So hang in there!
