1 Month Out And I Stalled Already?

[Jenny881 5]

Does this happen this soon? I lost 28lbs in 2 1/2 weeks but I stopped loosing when I started purée. I'm not doing any Protein Shakes yet. My dr said its ok. Just heal but it's discouraging. I am still only having around 600 calories a day. Shouldn't I be losing with that alone? So frustrated. 2 weeks no weight loss

I am 1 month out tomorrow and I stalled at 3 weeks. I lost 32 lbs in the first 3 weeks then nothing. I hope we both get a drop on the scale soon

I so feel your pain. I stalled at 3 weeks and am currently stalled for 9 days. Everyone says that it will break and that we will continue to lose but right now it doesn't feel that way. It is so discouraging, even if I could lose a pound or two I would feel much better. I too hope that it ends soon, it really brings my mood down.

I have noticed in the past that when I hit the stalls (on other diets) it is usually then that by body was adjusting to the loss ithad already had & during that time I was losing inches. Have you tracked your inches, I like to do that & when a stall happens I would check them and found that this was what was happening to me. Don't get discouraged, you will start losing again.

I too feel your frustration...I went to a support meeting last night and they told me that stalls are common around the one month mark and it is your body adjusting. I lost 20 pounds pre op, my surgery was aug 27, in the first 3 weeks after I lost another 20 pounds and in the last 4 weeks i've only lost 4 pounds. I am happy with the total amount of weight lost but I was told I could expect to lose 2-4 pounds a week. I haven't meant that goal in a month...very frustrated, very disappointed, even wonder if it was worth it??? I am very bad for needing the number on the scale to move!lol I am trying to keep my head up and joined this community yesterday to receive extra encouragement, and talk with others who understand what I am going through. Hang in there...IT WILL PASS>IT HAS TOO lol

Stalls around then are normal. I dropped quickly in week 1 and 2. The next to nothing week 3 and 4. Now I'm at week 5 and have lost another 5 lbs! Woo hoo! Stay strong, keep getting in all your h2o and Protein and you WILL see results!

I can totally attest to the "Week 3" stall. I dropped 18 pounds the first 1.5 five weeks. Then my body went on a strike!!!! Hopefully that's over, because I hopped on the scale and was down 4 pounds overnight. I know stalls are a part of the process, but the sure do suck.
