Stuck.... Grrrr

Sorry for the low Info title but theres no other way to put it.

My weight is just stuck! I came home from the hospital and lost 2-3 lbs a day for the first 7 days then on day 8-15 nothing, not a single pound!

I've heard of the week 3 stall but a stall at 1 week? Come on that not heard of or at least ibhavnt hear of it.

It's not like I'm a light weight either, I'm stuck at 392 lbs with a bmi of over 50 AND I'm a guy which means the weight should be falling off me, I just don't under stand.

Any one have any ideas on what's going on or what I can do to get the weight moving in the right direction again?

You're too soon out from surgery. Give it time. Focus on Protein and Water at this point. Nobody loses weight every single day. Losing weight is like walking down the stairs. Sometimes we walk down far and fast and other times we pause on certain steps and walk slower.

I think you miss understood rep, I've lost a total of 12lbs since surgery plus the couple lbs of fluid from the iv but it was all with in the first 7 days, and absolutely nothing for the last 8 days, it seems way to soon for a stall, I've not heard of any one stalling at 7 days post op.

It's not as uncommon as you think. Especially if you had a pre-op liquid diet. Hang in there. I promise you, the weight will come off. You should be 100% focused on HEALING and making sure you are getting all your protein, water, and steps right now. STAY OFF THE SCALE!

I stall all the time. First started the 2nd week out and continues almost 6 months out. I know it's discouraging but try to skip a weeks weigh in if you can. Take measurements. You might notice a difference with that.

Stick with your program and the stall will break. Then you'll start losing like a champ again. Just keep making the right choices, every single time.....
