My weight had not moved for a week. I lost 20 lbs in the first the weeks. The next week nothing- it could cause a person to freak out. Any one else stall out this early?

From what I've read in different threads agonists everyone goes through this at some point... But one lady who had super success was in the gym for days a week and almost starving... Lol I'm gonna try that too jump start my body again... Although I do see body changes despite the stall.. My waist is getting smaller and smaller

I lost very little in the first to second week it was very disappointing as some others that had surgery on the same day as me were cruising through it. I could not understand it I was sticking to my plan and doing everything right.

Then I looked into it deeper and as a result of my diabetes it was causing me to try and maintain my weight with the carbs and sugar which was from the Protein shakes.

Two days after I stopped the shakes and went on a no sugar low carb eating plan I lost 3 pounds that in it self says it all. since then in total for the past two and a half weeks I have lost 20 pounds

@, great job on the water intake, it's the little things!

Water and Protein. These are the things that will get you through the stalls. Your body gets used to routine. You need to increase water and protein, if you do those things your body will catch up.

By the way, a stall is NO weight loss for 10 days to 2 weeks or more. Your weight fluctuates every day so it it is going to make you crazy, you must stay off the scale.

It is only one measurement that you should care about.

Take a big breath and keep on going, your body will catch up!

Thank you Djnohr! I'm taking everyone's advice and upping my protein and my water and see if it works. I was lacking on protein about 50 grams per day. Maybe it's not enough. I also found some tips like no carbs 2 hours before bed,never go over 50 carbs a day,never go 4-5 hours without eating ( which I do all the time) and drink more than 64 oz of water if you are in a hot or dry climate. I'm in Florida so it all makes sense. I'm gonna boot myself and get going on these new things I learned and we'll see! ☺

I guess I am not having a true stall. My weight continues to go down, a lb or two every other day or so. I went 4 days without a change at one point. So I'll just count myself lucky.

Not sweating it, just trying to get my Protein and fluids in.

I'm very frustrated also.

Monday will be the 3 week mark for me. I started soft foods this week but I swear I'm not eating hardly anything, just 3-5 bites at lunch and dinner. I have my two Protein shakes a day and then struggle the rest of the time trying to get in enough fluids! First two weeks I was down 20lbs, this week 0.7! Ugh!

I can't tell you how relieved I am to read this. I am 3 weeks post op, and for 2 weeks, my scales have not moved an ounce. I am not even eating the required amount, because I simply can't push it in.. and everything I have been given by my surgeon says, to STOP when you are full..

I lost 21lbs in the liver shrink diet and the first week post op, now nothing.. so this "can" be normal? will it all of a sudden start to fall off? I can't imagine why my body is isn't shedding the weight off..

Goodluck to you all

I am in week 3 right now and my weight loss has slowed to a full stop. Only 2 days so far at the same weight. I knew about the 3 week stall from being on this site but it still stinks. I feel like I can't get in all my protein and water. I am constantly eating or drinking it seems like yet I am still only at about 300 calories a day and 30 oz of water. I can't do more or it becomes uncomfortable. I guess I will just wait it out with everyone else.

So frustrating I know BUT after 3 weeks of nothing these past 4 days I'm down 2 1/2 pounds. I'll take it! And I also got more protein in. That was the difference I think. Good luck! Apparently it will budge...sooner or later

I forgot to mention I started taking a probiotoc by Metamucil and it seemed to break my stall!!!
