stall for almost a month..

i'm about 7 weeks out from surgery... i've been in a stall for about 4... is it possible that i won't loose any more weight! i know stalls happen but this is very upsetting. and discouraging..

surgery pre op diet i was 247

day of surgery 240

today 219

it did say 216 one week but the next week it jumped back up to 220 and hasn't went down.

i have regular bowel movements.

i'm just so upset and it's very hard but i know it must be impossible for me to not loose weight right?

you should be able to lose more weight. Four weeks is starting to get pretty long given you're still early out. Are you weighing, measuring, and logging everything you're eating?

yes! i'm not eating anything off plan. i'm starting to freak out.. maybe i won't loose anymore weight is it even possible for surgery to not have worked?

you should lose more weight as long as you're sticking to the plan. I had a two-week stall within the first month after surgery. Actually, I know someone who had a 3.5 week stall early out - so maybe you'll be OK. Just remember to keep following your plan...

maybe because i only want to loose 50-60 more pounds it is slow for me? i am 5"8 so maybe that's why. i'm already half way to my goal. so i guess i should calm down.

If you stick to the plan you will lose more weight. My longest stall was 28 days and it was pure torture. the best thing to do is stay off the scale and follow your plan and it will work itself out.

I promise......

I stalled 6 weeks recently. It scared me because I'm 10 months out. I thought, " oh no, I can't lose anymore weight. This is it. I'm done." Then bam, dropped 10 pounds and a pant size. Then another 5 pounds. Don't give up or worry to much. Just follow your program and drink your fluids. Take a walk when you can. You will lose more weight

Did you take measurements before surgery? That's always a sure-fire way to see if you're still losing inches while the scale gets crazy on ya!

And go get yourself a pair of snug fitting jeans (even from Goodwill)... then start trying them on (even if you don't wear them) every week. You'll know how they fit, and in time they'll be too big!
