Three week stall! :(

[fmellnick 24]

You guys!

Im on a three week stall with the scale jumping up and down! IDK what to do! Please help.

I havent lost any weight for almost three weeks. I hardly eat and I drink a ton of Water. When I do eat its usually a spoon full of food; and its usually rice and a meat with veggies.

Im much more active then I was before but not as active as id like to be. Any advice will be helpful!

Thanks!

Put the scale away for a while, try again next week.

I had a 3 week stall also - so frustrating!! Then the next week I dropped 10lbs. Just keep doing what you are doing and it will work out!!

It's called a weightloss ticker, you Google it and choose one you like then embed the code on this site

You've lost almost 90 pounds in three months! That's amazing! I'm *almost* two months and have only lost 32. (The other 10 lbs it shows was pre-op) I wish I were you! You'll get through this stall and keep on keeping on!

Yes, you've lost a lot in 3 months, so way to go and keep up the awesome work!!

So, I had stalls along the way, of course. When I was around 4 months post-op, I had a month long stall. I went to see my nutritionist and we went over my eating habits. We figured out that I was only getting in about 600 calories a day. I was eating TOO LITTLE for my body to lose weight. She told me to up my calories to 900 a day. So I did, and I really started dropping the weight again. I tell you this because you mentioned that you hardly eat anything. If you are eating just a spoonful here and there, then most likely you are not getting enough calories throughout the day.

You might give your nutritionist a visit.

Also, after dropping 90 pounds in 3 months, your body will "pause" and recoup, your body has been working hard losing that weight.

You will lose more, don't worry about that. Way to go!

you have done a great job. 90 pounds is really good. Unfortunately this isnt Disney.. The magic stops there.. we have to do all the work! Dont be so hard on yourself.
