Guess I am in the 3 week stall. So frustrating! The scale has not moved in nearly a week. I am eating around 500 calories a day. How is that even possible?

I am ready for skinny and I am only down 18 pounds.

Just breathe out and stick with the plan - the scale will move if you eat the right amount of Protein, fluids and get moving. Your body has had a big shock and it's still sorting itself out deciding if it's being starved or whether it should be burning fat...

Hang in there, skinny is coming :-)))))

Here is a good article about stalls. Quite normal and is actually a good thing. Know that this will not be your last stall, either.

I had my surgery on Sept 27.....I think sometimes this far out if we're not getting enough calories then our bodies go into starvation mode. I'm not getting enough but it seems if I eat more carbs or something I shouldn't that has more calories then I drop a pound.

Also, make sure you are getting enough protein...it helps you loose more weight. On the liver shrinking diet before surgery you eat a lot of protein and I lost almost 30lbs in a month....so it really works.

Just eat like you should, exercise and it will come off.

Hang in there!!
