Having A Stall.....help

[Diane Cuva 24]

Hi everyone, I'm 3 weeks post op and I already have a stall. I haven't lost anything in over a week. I'm so upset and miserable about it. I'm eating what I'm supposed to and staying hydrated. Any suggestions????

3 weeks post-op I started a stall that lasted... about 10 weeks. It sucked! It finally broke about a week ago.

My best suggestion would be to do a search for "three week stall". It's something most people go through. Generally lasts 1 - 3 weeks, occasionally 4. Virtually everyone goes through it. So the best advice is to be patient and not freak out, don't try to change everything you're doing because you think it's your fault... don't let it get you down. Just remember it will pass.

I reiterate what Wheetsin says above. Very common at three weeks. Mine didn't come at three weeks, but came at 5 weeks, lasted for one week, then I lost three pounds the next week. I was in a stall last week too, no weight lost for one week, and then two pounds lost this morning. It's part of the process, our bodies are adjusting.

Thanks for the input. It's just so frustrating!

My stall was at week three for 3 weeks! Most people have one early on.

Yes, I lived that frustration for over two months, I understand! But it's 100% normal.

It would be weirder if you didn't stall around 3 weeks out, than if you did.

It's your body finding equilibrium. About half of what you've lotss o far weight-wise is Fluid. Your body's #1 priority is to get those fluids back. Your liver regulates a Fluid sugar, and those sugars were depleted and it wants them back. Etc. Even just pure dehydration from having fluid intakes so greatly reduced. Your body's doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

Now, if in 5 more weeks you're still stalled, THEN you can start looking at switching some things up. But until then, just wait for it to pass.
