Is it possible to start stalling in first 2 weeks? Concerned

[Joy0125 95]

My surgery was 12/18 and I dropped 19 pounds really quickly. The past several days I went up 1 pound and then have been at the same place for 2 days. I'm getting between 60-70 grams of Protein each day. My calories were between 600-800 and I dropped down to 500 range by making different protein choices. Should I have a stall this soon? Is this normal? Am I freaking for no reason?

YES! I stalled at that point. Dropped a little more and am stalled again... 23 pounds downs and over 5 weeks out. I suppose we must give our bodies time to adjust. A friend form the board, Charissa had surgery the smae day I did with the same surgeon and she had only lost one more pound than me.

Totally normal!

It's not only possible. It's normal. Read the link in my sig. Many people experience the 3 week stall. It's nothing to worry about. It will pass.

[Joy0125 95]

Thanks. I keep hearing about a 3 week stall but not this early. I don't want to have a 2 week AND a 3 week. I was liking dropping weight every day

Thanks. I read it and it was helpful. I'm going to try and not stress for a bit.

The "3" is give or take.

I had a week 2 stall lasting 10 days. They can happen anytime .... you still lose inches though so it's just the scale catching up.

It might also be that time of month? I gained a pound and then didn't lose for like 5 days the week before my period.

[Joy0125 95]

Jen-not yet... That will come in another few weeks and freak me out again

[hanners2009 40]

Sure is. I will be 3 weeks out tomorrow and all this week my weight has gone up and down by 5 lbs. Just weight and was back down.

[aliandrews 98]

Yeah definitely. I stalled for eight days at the end of my second week. There have been many more.

I wasn't even a week out and stalled. But I've been moving ever since )

Yep. From surgery to 1 week appointment i went down 29 lbs. however from the 1 wk to the 1 month appointment i only lost .5 lb... not even a pound.

I was crushed after learning of the failure (in my eyes) until my nut reminded me that its okay because I was experimenting with what i could pass etc.
