So Is This The 3Rd Week Stall?

[BABEwiththePOWER 16]

I'm on day 19 post-op, and I've been steadily losing about a pound a day. But recently, when I went to input my weight on my weight tracker online, I realized I'm only down 16lbs post-op. I have only lost 1lb in the last few days.

I'm on mushy foods, and I'm trying to get out and walk everyday. I'm not back in the gym yet, because I want to wait a bit longer to really let myself heal before I go too crazy with workouts. I'm getting in all my Protein and cals. I have my first check-in appt with my surgeon on Thursday, and I really wanted to be down at least 20lbs by day 21. Am I crazy? Am I doing something wrong, or is this the infamous 3rd week stall???

HELP!

I have been in the infamous 3 week stall now for the past 2 weeks. I know I shoulldnt complain since I have lost so much weight in the beginning. but 2 weeks and now 1 pound lost. I eat between 600-800 calories per day 60-80G of Protein less than 35% carbs and less than 22% in fat intake. I know I am not exercising enough but I still try to do something everyday even if it is walking a mile. I am very frustrated right now.

yes, you're crazy :-) You can't keep up a pound per day for long!!! Be prapred for no weight loss for weeks at a time... it happens to almost everyone. But the weight will come off, don't get discouraged.... this is normal!

Really...you are all doing great! The pound a day doesnt last forever ( darn it!) I go back and forth, a lb a day then no weight loss for a week, just varies. Please dont be frustrated, it will happen. I keep telling myself the slower I lose, the less saggy skin I will have. Keep up the fantastic work everyone!
