am I doing something wrong

@@matthewsmiguy

welcome, welcome to the board

405 to 364 lbs - that's great

down 41 lbs within 2 week period after surgery

you're already considered a "big loser"

as long as you are following your doc/nuts rules

you are doing everything right

i'm sure you are drinking plenty of Water (64 oz?)

Protein, etc

the weight WILL come off in its own due time

some people leave the hospital with a weight gain

(IV solution/water) others haven't lost at all

never compare yourself with others

you are taking in such a little amount of calories in

you can't help but lose weight

don't stare at the scale all the time

weigh once a week if you can control yourself

otherwise, hide scale from yourself

good luck bud

you are doing great

congrats

Yes that's why I believe I must have stayed on the liquid too long and went straight to soft foods and I skipped over to purge food do you think that would make a difference in weight loss

Sounds like you aren't doing anything wrong. You lost a massive amount in the first two weeks - seriously, then looks like you hit the dreaded 3rd week stall - do a search on here and you'll see just how common that first stall is. Stick with the plan you were given, stop stressing about the scale, and the weight will come off again. Weightloss is definitely not linear. You will not lose every week, some weeks you might even gain a pound or so but the overall trend over time will be downward.

You are doing nothing wrong. STALLS are frustrating to say the least, but a natural part of the process that is hard to accept but ya may as well throw your hands up and say oh well, stay on track and wait for that stall to break. It will not be your last one. I've had a stall every month so far but just like clockwork, my weight loss starts up again. Be patient. It will happen if you are doing everything right.

I had my surgery Oct 25th, I lost 16lbs the first two weeks and nothing since. The dreaded stall has grabbed me, but my question is, everyone says stalls are common and your body is just catching up? Could someone explain that to me? Sorry I'm learning.
