Awful 3-Week Stall

The dreaded 3-week stall strikes again!!!! Only weighing once a week, jumped right on this morning hoping to see a nice size loss.....only a .3 weight loss??? How can that be?? My calorie intake is only about 400-500? The Laws of logic don't match up. Bummed. [emoji20]

From what I have read it is just your body getting used to the new calorie intake/ lifestyle (I could be completely wrong), I know the feeling of the stall and it's heartbreaking but when it's over you're more motivated then ever


When did you have surgery? 400-500 calories doesn't sound like enough, especially if you are exercising. Are you making your protein and fluid goals? At 8 -10 weeks I was eating 600-800 calories and now at 6 months I'm eating between 1000 - 1200 per my surgeon's and NUTs recommendations

I have a 3 week stall every 3 weeks!. Then I step on the scale and a chunk is gone or just a few pounds are gone but I have changed sizes in clothes. Difference in my weight between last Monday and today, 2 lbs. - but have 2 pairs of pants that fit me last week that didn't today. I can't figure it out!

Still in puréed diet. Start soft foods next week.

I stall roughly every 3 weeks, but then I will see a 2-5 lb. loss. I have started to notice that my body likes to stall at old set points. I'm really looking forward to 197 ?
