I had my surgery on July 9 . Since my surgery I have lost 25 pounds. Now I am stuck stuck stuck!!! I have been 218 pounds for the past week. I do everything right. I drink lots and lots of water I sip all day long.

So for example

breakfast around 8 AM I will have a scrambled egg white.

For snack I will have a 4 ounce protein shake with 2 ounces of water and 2 ounces of skim milk

For lunch I might have a quarter cup of sweet potatoes or a quarter cup of tuna made with a teaspoon of light mayonnaise and a teaspoon of fat-free Italian dressing.

For snack again I will have a 4 ounce protein shake again with the water and milk

And for dinner I might have a quarter cup of puréed chicken soup with vegetables in it. Or the tuna again.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Why am I stuck?

I had my surgery on June 27.

This Friday will be week 5 and the scale said 226 this morning. I have no clue!!

Good luck!!

With everything I have read I hope it gets better.

25 pounds in 20 days and actually only 23 days if scale hasn't moved in the last week? That is a lot if weight! Your body is trying to catch up and you are in the dreaded 3 week stall. Tons of posts about the science behind it. It will move again but meanwhile you are nearly ahead of me and I am 8 weeks out tomorrow. Be patient. It's a marathon not a sprint.

Thanks guys. I'm getting frustrated. Good luck to you too.

Hi ivarae, I am new to this forum and looking for some support. I got served exactly a month ago and my weight has stalled like almost two weeks now. I read that your weight got stuck at that stage too. What happened after that? What did you do to get off the stuck weight? I hope I get some reply. Thanks
