Weight not going down

[graziellabs 28]

I lost 32 pounds in three weeks but this week from week three going into week 4 I'm staying the same it's not dropping. Is it because I started eating pureed foods or what can it be. I'm so nervous that I am only going to loose a little bit. What is going on? I was so excited to loose weight and then it just stops. Please help me!!!

I can't tell you how many times I felt just like you. You'll see a lot of responses about a 3 week stall, which I guess is pretty common. I didn't experience it at week 3 but I can tell you I have on many other weeks. It is super discouraging but just know the weight will come off and sometimes it's inches not just weight. So easy to say so hard to live through. I'd eat less and stall, i'd work out and stall, I'd eat more and lose I wouldn't work out and lose. I'm sure there is a bunch of science and explanations but understand weight loss is not linear.

I'm 20 weeks out and have had a ton of ups and downs but down a good amount of weight, slowly losing but clothes fit so much better, tempted to go shopping but still have 40lbs to lose.

Hang in there, don't get discourage, keep following your plan and you'll lose a gain, I promise.

BTW - losing 32lbs is awesome! Congrats!

do a search on the "three week stall". Almost everyone has that. It's not always on week 3, but it usually is. But it can happen any time within the first 4-6 weeks of surgery. Like I said, pretty much everyone experiences that. Just stick to your program and it will break.

I don't think it's the pureed foods although I had the exact same eperience. It lasted for about 8 days for me. I didn't lose anything and poof!..It just started again. I think many people experience it and I think it's just your body catching up and going into "sarvation" mode. Don't stop eating! Just stay on the plan your doctor gave you and when your body is ready it'll start losing again. And try not to panic. I know...easier said than done I was freaking out when it happened to me. Everyone says it's the 3 week stall and it won't be the last one. Just part of the process we need to get used to.
