I'm. Three weeks out today...scale isn't moving. Is it the dreaded three week stall? I'm struggling getting in the protein and water requirements. I'm walking thru the ligament pain...I am 1 pound away from losing that horrible 3 in my weight....it just....won't .....move!!!

Any advice welcome!

Hi congrats on your choice to be healthy, remember to get your protein and water in you will see the scale move , you will have several stalls as your body adjust but remember as long as your eating right and exercising the weight will come off . Welcome to the losers bench and keep us posted on your progress .

I'm 7 weeks out - the scale got "stuck" at exactly 3 weeks post-op (had lost 15 pounds to that point) - My stall lasted three weeks. It was tremendously frustrating, but I'd read so many posts here by people who'd experienced the same thing, so I didn't panic. During that time, though, my clothes kept getting looser & looser, just as though I WAS dropping weight..... and I've lost 8 pounds this past week.

At about that 3 week mark, my weight loss changed from a downward slope to stairs - hold for a while, big drop, hold, drop, etc. It's been that way ever since. But I also have noticed my body reshaping. When you're working so hard, it's frustrating to not see something change in the scale every day, but keep the big picture in mind. It will come off!

I'm only 6 weeks out but I don't own a scale and it makes my life much easier. I go to my post op appts and always have lost from the prior one. I think you can really get bummed out if you weigh yourself too much. Hang in there and the weight will come off. Just keep following the meal plan and you will lose weight!!
