6 weeks today, on a 4 week STALL! HELP!

Ok, so, I'm 6 weeks today. I was prepared for the dreaded 3 week stall, so when I didn't lose week in week 3, I was ok. then it went on...and on... Now, 6 weeks out and I've only lost weight in the first 2 weeks post op. I lost 16 pounds in those two weeks, but COME ON! My clothes are looser, however what's going on? I know our bodies freak out because we're in starvation mode, but it's got to let go of some of this sooner or later! I'm following all the rules: Water, Protein, eat slowly, protein first, low carbs etc. Also, I walk every day. Has anyone gone through this and any good suggestions? Thanks!

    For me it is very dangerous territory to set a timeline on the number of pounds lost. That can lead to some really destructive and counterproductive behavior. Are you tracking your food? Are you g

I thought I would give those who asked an update. Since Monday after I spoke with the NUT I have been getting in 61 to 87 grams of Protein. I weighed in as I am on a weigh in forum on MFP and today was the day to weigh in. I finally broke this 4 week stall and have lost 8 pounds. I have now lost 32 pounds since surgery and 70 pounds since I started the 6 month surgery supervised diet and a total of 215 from my highest weight. I have 32 more pounds before I can see the orthopedic surgeon to possibly have my back and hip surgery so I can walk again. I am getting so close I hope it will just be a few more months before I can go to his office and say ok I am 250 now please do my surgery.

Yay, great news re more weight loss, and that you got over this stall hump!

Good luck with losing more, and getting your other surgery done.

The waiting can be frustrating.

I had to put off my WLS for 8 months due to my thyroid issues ....

Fingers crossed for you.
