Im 3 weeks post op. Lost 16lbs in 2 weeks because for the last week I stalled, I eat so little, how can this be? How can my body not lose weight for a whole week when i eat barely 500-600 cal per day?

I am so traumatized of years of dieting with no results...This cant be it!!!

Everyone has it, the body is resetting and you may still be losing inches even though the scale isn't moving. Hang in there!!

This is completely normal. Your body is just taking time to catch up. Everyone goes through stalls.

I have said this before but read the posts from people who are 1 year or more out you will not find one person who says, "I'm 1 year out and only lost 20 pounds" It will continue to happen. Just be patient and give it time.

Thanks so much

I'm freaking out about this also, except mine is the 1 week stall. I lost 15 pounds the first week after surgery, haven't lost a pound since day 7 post op. I am getting my protein and water. I am trying to walk more hoping that will help, but it is scaring me. This is normal? I had heard of the 3 week stall, but not one week. Should it really be called the 15 pound stall?

im having the same problem I'm almost 4 weeks post op and stuck at 16lbs.

I am 11 days post-op and lost 10lbs. The first 7 days but have stalled since. It seems impossible to consume less than 700 calories a day and not lose weight. I log everything, I think my protein needs uping though for sure. Hard to get it in at this stage.

It happens to us all. We all say the same thing - "how can I eat so little and not lose weight"? We all get obsessed with it. We all think we are doing something wrong or it doesn't work for me. Then we all see the scale start to move again. Just be patient. You are not alone! I think everyone should hide their scales between week 3 and 6.

It's a normal and necessary part of the process.

Just focus on getting in all your Protein and Water, and stay off the scale.

Embrace the Stall!

I stalled for 3 weeks total, around weeks 3-6. I was miserable. BUT, the day I started walking, the weight is falling off. Hang in there, I promise it gets better!

It is normal...it happened to me too...I just broke it. It was frustrating...until I saw my NUT on Monday and she told me to stop sweating it, that it happens very commonly to just about everyone during this time...and she told me to be prepared that it will NOT be the last time. Do the right things and all is well she said...
