Early Stall?

[bandita 16]

Uh oh, this is day 3 that the scale has not moved. After watching it go down so quickly it is a bit frustrating and concerneing that i may have hit a stall so early post op. Tomorrow marks 2 weeks. I did just change to pureed food 2 d ago...could that have something to do with it??? Have not started excercise as it has only been 2 weeks. I have read every post on stalls and was thinking that maybe this was m y 3 week stall but does anyone know if people refer to the 3 week stall as 3 weeks from surgery or from pre op diet and sugery? I am down 23 lbs from start of pre op diet on aug 13 th. But 16 of those pounds were during the liquid diet phase. I am freaking out a little bit ( i know its probablly ridiculous) but am only down 7 pounds from surgery and less than 2 weeks out with a stall. Any one with any kind of similar experience? I'm trying to remain calm : )

Just remain calm and keep steady on your program. You'll come out of it. Don't weigh for a few days. Twenty three pounds since Aug 13 is terrific. I gained six pounds after surgery and a few days later I lost the six plus seven more pounds. Be patient and you'll be losing soon:)

The same thing happened to me at two weeks...you will get past it!

The process that initiates the 3 week stall will start when you start a calorie restrictive diet. So if you had a very restrictive preop diet, that started the process of burning your glycogen stores.

As for the "3 weeks"....it could be give or take a week or 2. It's not the same for everyone. You may have burned through your glycogen stores faster than other people and now your body is refilling those stores, which is what causes the stall.
