Weight at a stand still

Hi it's been 2 weeks since my operation and for the last week my weight is a complete stand still. Is this normal? I only have 400 - 600 calories. Please I'm feeling a little depressed. I know it's a slow journey but I haven't dropped anything in the last week:(

    Mix it up a bit. Jack the calories up to 1000 for a couple of days and then back down. Step up the cardio with the higher calories. And stop worrying. In fact, get used to it, stalls will re-o

    Amandasaouma - I am in the same boat. I am almost 4 weeks out and have only lost .5!lbs in 2 weeks. It's really frustrating, I know! Many tell me that our body is going through a lot right now and so

My friend at work had it done with her husband. He keeps losing. They're 3 months out and she's down 50lbs and he's already close to 100lbs! She was like you in the beginning . But 50lbs in 3 months is outrageous! Totally awesome!

Thanks guys I needed reassurance and advice. I have no support here unfortunately and I want to prove to myself and everyone else I can do this

Search '3 week stall'. In the search function on forums. All the discussion you could ever need on this point is within there.

Don't freak out. Happens to all of us. Some, sadly, more than others.

And I wouldn't mess with your calories just yet. You are only a few weeks out, and you need to follow your doctor's meal plan. There is no way you'd be able take in 1000 calories at 3 weeks out.

After seeing all the three week stall posts I admit I still panicked a little lol. I am trying to have faith that logically you can't follow this plan long term and NOT lose.

I was just freaking OUT!! I'm on my 4th wk and only lost 1 pound this wk... Ahhhhhhhhh!!!

How much since surgery

Wow thank god I'm not the only one. We'll I appreciate everyone's comments and all of them have helped. I've only been walking 10 - 15 mins cause I get soooo dehydrated that I just want to skull a massive bottle of water and I don't think that would be a great idea lol.

Guys you are all STILL losing, not gaining so be happy about that. I think you all are doing great and the "stall" will pass!
