Hit my first plateau at 3 weeks

[PatrickG 5]

Friday marked 3 weeks since the surgery. I have lost 30 pounds since starting the pre-op diet and 20 pounds since the surgery. I have hit my first plateau this last week. I have been moving up and down a few pounds but no signifigant loss. I plan to increase my exercise and hopefully move past this stall.

I stalled at 3 weeks as well and then had a two-day carb fest which has made the scale finally move in the past week!

I am 3 weeks post op too. Lost 18 pounds on the first 2 weeks but since then keep loosing and gaining 2 pounds. I am trying to eat more as now I cannot get more than 450 cal per day. I have tried hard but first i feel full really fasty and then I just forget about eating more regularly. I am hoping that it will improve after I start to have a more varied diet. Today i will try to have eggs.< /p>

The easiest things for me to get down are cottage cheese, SF pudding with Protein powder mixed in and yogurt. I can eat ONE scrambled egg and it's REALLY difficult to get down - a fried egg went down much easier (not sure why). Someone on this board suggested egg beaters because it's not as dense and goes down a lot easier.

I had the first at 3 weeks. That one helped me deal with the small stalls, ie. lasting 1 week or less. I had another stall at 3 months which lasted over 3 weeks. I was not prepared for that.

Now I told you, now you are prepared :-)

Unless you switch to a seriously unreasonable diet, you'll break your stall - try not to drive yourself crazy

I lost 20 ibs the first week after surgery then I STALLED for a whole week and gained 2 ibs. I didn't worry as I figured my body was probably going WTF. It thinks your starving and tries to hold on to the weight. After one week I started losing again. I'm going to start week 3 on Wednesday and I've lost a total of 24 Ibs. I even thought I was binging when I went to visit my sister for the weekend in Atlanta but when I came home and weighed myself I actually lost. Woo Hoo!!!. Time seems to move by so slowly since I still fell like the fat one at home and at work. But I can say I've lost and least one whole pant size and my shirts are fitting much better. Try not to weight yourself to often. (I know its hard cause your all excited the weight is coming off). And GOOD LUCK!
