I've been doing the pureed for about a week and I haven't lost any weight except .2 pounds. Is this normal? I haven't been eating more than 500 calories in one day. What do I do?

What you are experiencing is a normal part of the process.

What do you do?

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements as instructed, exercise when cleared, and stay off the scale.

Embrace the Stall!

Welcome to the Week 3 Stall. 90% of WLS patients experience it. Your body is reeling from the trauma and changes it's been put through. Give it a second to catch up. Get your water and protein in. Take your vitamins. Walk a little every hour or two. Advance through your food stages as planned. And you WILL lose weight.

Yay! Joining this message board is the best thing my friend could have ever suggested because I've been freaking out that something was wrong!

Phew! I'm so glad to see that week three is known as a stall week, because I'm totally there too. Today, I decided to put the scale away for a little while... for my own mental well-being.

In going on week five and can attest to the three week stall. I started upping my protein and added in walking and by the middle of week four I was losing again.
