Stalled At 3 Weeks?

[Preacher's Wife 14]

How can this happen already? I was doing great a total of 21 lbs the first two weeks. I weighed today and nothing. Im getting around 40 grams of Protein and under 600 cal. I try to be as low fat as possible. My husband lost four pounds this week dieting off and on and I lose nothing with my little sleeve! Is it normal to stall this fast?

This is the famous 3-week stall. My surgeon and NUT told me to expect it. Do a search on this forum and you'll come up with all kinds of posts. I had what I would call a mini-stall - only lost a pound (barely), but this week I lost 4 pounds.

Just a few words of encoragement, we all need them:

You are doing wonderfully. You are so early in the game. Losing 21 lbs is terrific - you will lose alot more, promise.

Drinking liquids are exceptionally important. Later on you are supposed to get in 64 oz. day - for now drink as much as possible. You don't want to get dehydrated - ever.

Repeating, you are really doing great, don't get discouraged, keep up with everything - and all will be well.

Don't ever give up on youself, ever. You need the good spirits and thoughts to help keep you feeling good, and in the long run make you happy about your future.

Never compare your weight loss with others, we all lose at a different time speed, we really do

Drink (sip), make sure to rest - you are in no shape yet for the olympics - other things will come gradually.

Take care of yourself

Just keep doing what you're doing and it WILL break. Don't let yourself slip into bad habits, or it won't break. It's frustrating, yes. Believe me, I had a LONG stall. It'll happen......It'll happen....

Totally normal. It happens to almost everyone. It is your body regrouping from the sudden weight loss at the beginning. Your body has to rejuvinate in order to work properly. It will start back do not worry.

You should have more protien. 600 calories may be why you are stalling.

Low fat is OK but you should have some healthy fats.

Try more Water, up your calorie intake a little, make sure you are taking a Multivitamin, and get on a sleep schedule, get your rest.
