Stalling at week 3

My surgery was 7/20, and I lost weight steadily for 3 weeks and then it stopped - 22 pounds. Tomorrow is my one month post and I'm starting to feel very frustrated. I know I'm not getting my protein in as I'm having a very hard time with nausea after 3 or 4 bites of food. My physical activity is very limited because it's over 100 degress outside and my husband won't buy any indoor equipment. I'm becoming very depressed. Even without all the protein, you'd think someone only eating 400-500 calories a day would lose weight.

    What you are experiencing is a normal part of the process. Focus on doing your best to get in all your Protein and Water and stay off the scale.

If you are close to a mall - how about walking in the mall? Or, I have several walk aerobic DVDs by Leslie Sansone. All the best to you!

I was sleeved on June 9th. A month later, I stalled for almost two weeks. It's just what happens as our bodies adjust to the new reality. Stick with the program and know that it will pass. You will lose more weight, just hang in there.

It's the 3 week stall that everyone goes through. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Stay hydrated, eat your protien and let it pass. This won't be your last stall, either, but a stall this early out is a physiological thing that happens to everyone after large losses the first weeks. Stalls later out are probably more behaviors causing them.

So at this time, just keep doing what you're doing and it will pass.

Youtube has many types of exercise videos on it. from zumba to yoga. I am 38 days out and still in 3 week stall but staying positive and exercising at the gym

I was sleeved on 7/21 and had a stall at week 3. Things started budging again this weekend. I'm not sure if it was because I was tracking my food more or because I was more active, or perhaps my body had adjusted enough to let the scale move downward. I just focused on the fact that I was eating better and being more active.

I was sleeved also on July 20th. I experienced a stall from week 2-4. So 2 weeks stall. I even gained 2 pounds. In the past couple days I have lost the weight gained and lost another 1.5 pounds. It was a little frustrating but I knew it could happen.
