OK first thing is you should contact your DR and your Nutritionist. If you are following the "plan" and excersising as well you should be losing. Stalls dont normally happen til 2-3 months in and then another around the 6 month point. They do happen and that is what i was advised by several people.. Stalls last 2-4 weeks so that part is normal but it doesnt make sense that u are stalling this early.. What are you eating? How much are you excercising. Water WATER WATER also..

Id love to give you more advise but something could possibly be wrong also and that is why im saying you should contact your weight loss center..

I mean some woman was on here yesterday and posted something about eating 4oz of mashed potatoes. Cant be more wrong. I hope your doing majority Protein... I wish you the best and wanted to chime in ,,

I am having the same issue. I am 2-1/2 weeks post op and the first week I lost 16 lbs and since then I haven't lost anything. I am very discouraged and aggrevated cause this is when you are supposed to lose the most. I have not been able to get all my protein shakes in because they make me nauseous and right now that is all I am supposed to be on.

Normal. Many of us hit the 3 week stall which is common. You also need to consider surgical weight gain from Fluid retention.

Your TOM will cause Water retention as well as any excess in salt from bad food choices.

Hang on, follow plan FOR REAL, and move your body. The weight will come off.

Thanks...imma look for my paper because todat I move to the next stage!!!

I personally think I am not getting enough protein. I am suppose to be on just protein shakes and get 8 to 11 oz every 4 hours but because they make me so nauseous I am only getting 4 to 6 oz every 4 hours. I am pretty sure it is the WHEY making me sick so tomorrow I am going to a store that sells egg white protein and I am going to try that.

Stalls do happen at three weeks..... just look at all the people on here who struggled with this after being told it

shouldn't happen. I think its very presumptuous to be told this. Everyone is diff and responds slightly diff to the same

surgery. Being told its not suppose to be is another disappointment in a already hard journey. Yes it can happen.

And did for me and I cried and felt like a failure AGAIN. I thru pain had to give my body the love and time it needed

to heal and adjust. Thank God I did and you will do well also.

You aren't working harder than other people by not eating Popeye's. Most us of don't eat Popeye's, or anything of the like.

Eat Protein, protein, protein. Not fried protein, either.

You will lose.

I think you know what you need to do. No junk food. No pop eyes. No Jamaican food. No cake. This will not work by itself. You have to put in the effort and change the way you are eating. PLEASE go see your NUT and have them prepare a menu for you to go by. Then stick to it. We want to see that scale go down girl! Get on it!!
