Stall Already ?!

[LilBoo007 491]

So I am now 2 weeks post op and have only lost 13 lbs. I have not lost any weight since Monday which is 4 days... An I having a stall already? I know I haven't been feeling in enough fluids since I started the puréed stage. Lucky if I can get 30 oz in and 2 Protein shakes! Any advice from those who have been there ???

Don't freak out. It happens. Even in the beginning, I would stall for 3 or 4 days, then wake up 4 pounds lighter the 5th day. It's normal and don't worry. The weight will come off.

I've been at a stall for 3 weeks. Dr said its normal. But it's so aggravating

Been there, done that!

I am almost 4 months out from surgery and have only lost 10lbs in the 3rd month. 65lbs in total. Is it normal to slow down or is there something I can do to get back on track?

Don't worry, I've been at a stall for two weeks and I'm only three weeks post op. On the up side, I've lost another whole size in my clothes so at least I know something's happening!!

Dont look at it as a stall. Its your body adjusting to all the crap being thrown its way... or not thrown its way. Protein is key and so is excercise. Keep following the plan and the weight will come off when it is ready to. Fat seems to have a clock all of its own. Hang in there... patience is key

I just got off a 15 day stall. I wasn't getting all of my Water and only about 45 grams of Protein. My nut told me to shoot for 80-90 grams of protein daily I have been doing this (with protein shakes) for two days now and I have lost weight for the last two days. I was sooooo discouraged because I got stuck at 3 weeks post op and i haven't cheated once. I am now 5 weeks. Sooooo increase ur protein and get all ur water in...no matter how difficult it is and then check ur weight again.

I've done this! Bin 3 weeks out and I've been stalled at 20-22lbs. I'm having a hard time getting in my calories, so I'm not losing.

Don't worry.. I was where you were 2 weeks ago and everyone is right. Follow the plan and it will happen. I set the alarm on my phone to remind me to eat-drink-exercise-and take my Vitamins. It really helps. And I use My fitnessPal Ap on my phone to log everything... I'm very visual and it easy for me to not eat because I'm just not hungry. Keep positive and don't stress.

It has officially been 1 week with no weight loss at all ... I am beyond frustrated !!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm starting to feel like that's all the weight I am going to loose. I'm still doing everything by the book and getting at least 35 oz of Water a day and 3 Protein Shakes and all I can seem to eat atrial times is about 1 1/2 oz. of meat!!! I'm walking briskly on the tread mill 5x a week for about 20-30 min. What am I doing wrong that my weight has been stalled for a week, how long is this stall going to last?? I'm not even 3 weeks post op !!!

Whew! Breath :-D your doing great :-) keep following your plan and step away from the scale :-) it can drive you NUTTS. I actually ended up taking mine to my moms who doesn't live to far. Some times you will loose inches or clothing sizes before pounds. Good luck :-)

I feel like I'm reading a post from myself three weeks ago. I did the same thing. Don't stress the scale will move. Your body needs to adjust to the rapid weight loss. I didn't loose any weight for 9 days and then last week I lost 8 lbs. Doing the same thing I was the week before. Be patient it will happen. Now I haven't loss any thing yet this week. I measured myself pre surgery and now on the weeks I don't loose I measure. It realy helps when you see your loosing inches too. So far I have lost 23 inches overall.

Keep your wheels on ... Your on your way!!!!

I'm 4 weeks out and haven't lost for 10 days. I'm getting my Protein in and 700 cals a day and not losing. It's scaring me.

Thanks so much for everyone's comments on here! They are making me feel better.
