Stall at 11 Days Out?

My weight loss has stalled the past 3 days. I don't understand as I am only eating about 400 calories per day and 75% of them are Protein.

I've heard of stalls later in the process (like around 3 weeks) but not this early. Any of you have similar experiences?

Hello John T. From my research, which is very extensive, your calorie count may be too low, so your body is already starving itself. You should increase your Protein. Your surgeon or nutritionist should be able to tell you how much. Your overall calorie count is way too low. 400 is low for a woman never mind for a man. No wonder you have stalled so early. Eating too little is as detrimental as eating too much. Good luck John!

It's normal, try to stay off the scales for awhile or you may drive yourself nuts.

its normal... relax. Do not weight yourself daily... pick a day or two in the week and go from there.

Follow your nutritionist. All is good I promise. Stalls happen all the time. Here is my chart from the last four months. See - stalls all over the place...

I remind myself that my body is still trying to adjust, and that I'm not going to be dropping a ton of weight every day. It might be a half pound or it might be 1. It's challenging to not weigh yourself every day, I catch myself doing it and have to remind myself that like a watched pot, the scale won't move downward by checking it every few hours.

My experience is that my weight drops in large amounts and then nothing for weeks. I was at 254 for 3 weeks and then weighed myself Friday (my weekly weigh in) and I had dropped to 249.

In the interim, I notice my clothes continue to get looser. I am working out regularly and have gained back my pre-op strength.

My experience is that my weight drops in large amounts and then nothing for weeks. I was at 254 for 3 weeks and then weighed myself Friday (my weekly weigh in) and I had dropped to 249.

In the interim, I notice my clothes continue to get looser. I am working out regularly and have gained back my pre-op strength.

I am starting to notice the looser fitting clothes as well. Thanks everyone for the feedback!

It happened to me too about that time! It will move again, friend. No worries! :)

Had a 1 month stall which played a lot of mind tricks on me- wish I would've measured myself as I did notice my clothes getting loose - now I'm losing again but of course not as fast - still it's going in the right direction down not up????
