Stalling Already :(

[SkinnyHereICome 7]

I had my surgery on Feb 4th, I have lost 12 lbs, however...i have not lost a single pound this week, feel a bit bummed out about it. I also went back to work a week later and that was fine, surprised at how fast I felt good. My pre-surgery weight was 206, today I am 194, been there for a week Not sure why, I even started walking on the treadmill every other day for 45 min, about 2.5 miles. I hope this is what they call the 3 week stall. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks. Just seems I eat such a little bit and should lose more. I'll remain optimistic though, I know it takes time, just ready to see that scale in the 180's already. Let me know if anyone has any thoughts/inspirations to share. Thanks.

I am post op 30 days plus days and lost approx 35 lbs. First follow your diet instructions exactly. Keep working toward your goal. Weight loss is an individualistic thing, not all folks progress at the same rate. Stay away form the carbs also, do more Protein and keep your good attitude toward life. And all will work out fine.

Additionally, remember your body is in shock and is probably struggling to figure out what's going on. It'll catch on soon and release the weight. I'm 14 months out and am experiencing a stall too; except mine has been going on since November. You being so early out, will definitely not last that long.

somewhere in postland, someone talked about how the liver stores glucogen? and when you lose so fast, your body says "whoa nellie" and holds on tight, releasing whatever was stored in the liver, then you stall. After a while, you adjust and you start losing again and storing whatever it was back in the liver again. So the cycle continues. I am not sure how accurate or scientific I have been but search around and I bet you will find more info.

I to had the 3 week stall and it was a bit frustrating, but around 4 1/2-5 week the weight started coming off. Then around 6 weeks I stalled again for a week, but now it's a pretty steady loss every week.. I can't believe I am almost 10 weeks out.. I've done good and lost during the 10 weeks 50lbs!!!

:rolleyes:I had a stall at 3 weeks then again at 7 weeks then I started losing fast again. Be sure to get your Protein and Water in!

i had my 3 week stall, at 2 weeks But im aware your body goes into a starvation type mode roughly every 3 weeks or so, and holds onto the weight.

See how it goes next week, as i will
