Frustrated With The Scale!

[mjrevel 101]

I'm almost Four weeks out. Counting my two week pre-op diet I've lost 30lbs. I think this sounds good but the scale has not moved in ten days. I'm starting to panic. The first few days I started purée I dropped below 400 calories a day. I'm adding prtein powder and got my calories between 600-700 a day and prtein over 70g carbs under 30g low fat. I'm getting about 45-50oz of Water. If anyone has any advice I would love some help. Please!

I'm 4 weeks out also. I've maybe lost 4 or 5 pound since the surgery. But I'm not upset. Like you, I lost pre-op. 37 pounds. Our bodies need to readjust to that significant weight loss.

Seriously, if you are following your program, and it sounds like you are, you will lose. Hang in there! I know it's hard! I'm in the same position you are. :-)

More water....read the link in my sig. The 3 week stall is very common. Your body is replenishing its glycogen stores, that's why your weight has temporarily leveled off, but you're still losing fat.

I am 4 weeks today and have been in a stall for a week now too. I keep telling myself it will all come off with time. I didn't have to do a pre op diet but lost 16 lbs the first 3 weeks (4 lbs, 9lbs, 3 lbs, 0 lbs). Hoping to see some movement on the scale again soon.

I feel that I am doing all the right things. Glad to know the 3 week stall is common.

Dang this 3rd week stall! Lol. I did the same thing then two days ago bam! I dropped two pounds. Hope this means my stall is over!

Including 2 week pre-op I'm down 28 lbs. 72 to go...
