[KimMarh 99]

I had surgery on jan 21,

Jan 14. 285

Jan 21 275

Jan 28 264

Today I am 263 .... And worked 3 days this week!! How can I eat 600 cal a day and work out and only loss one lbs??

Gotta feeling this weight is never going to come off!!

I had surgery December 21st and have only lost 35. The nurse at my drs office said that its better to lose slower so the fat cells have time to shrink. It does get frustrating,but everyone loses at different rates. I will go several days without losing, sometimes a week then I will lose 1-3. Hang in there....keep eating the Protein and drinking fluids and the weight will come off. Good luck.

You may not be eating enough. Working out burns calories. Depending on the activity you may need to consume a few more calories.

You hit a stall and it's totally normal. Just keep moving forward and the weight loss will kick back in. I stall every time I do not get enough Water. So, drink up.

I tried to eat more.... I can't. I am getting 80 grams of protien and 60oz of Water !! My workout are not hard workouts

Everyone will stall. It doesn't matter how well you follow guidelines, stalls and slow weight loss are, at times, inevitable. Here's the short version sum-up:

If you are eating fewer calories than you are burning, you *will* lose weight. This is not negotiable unless something is seriously wrong.

If you do a search for "week 3 stall" you will see that most of us, around week 3, for no discernible reason... will stall for a couple weeks. This is a normal thing, so don't panic. Just keep focusing on learning good habits and the weight will come off.

You may have to work out harder! Think of the biggest loser they excise 8hrs a day. I'm not saying do that but I am saying a 15-30 min low impact workout may not do it! Don't be Discourage

Awww don't worry it will come off. I was sleeved 11/15 and have lost only 33lbs. Definitely frustrating I know but try to focus and be positive. Maybe what you don't see on the scale is coming off in inches? I know people are in shock when they see me thinking I've lost so much weight when in reality I've lost more inches then actual lbs. Crazy how it works don't you think???

Put the scale away!!! it will drive you to insanity I went through the same thing and I was upset and a little down because I wasnt losing as fast as I wanted to BUT eventually the scale moved It just takes time, I remind my self that this is not a diet like the ones in the past, theres only one way the scale is moving and thats down baby! I would recomend that you measure your body neck,upper arms,lower arms , chest, waist, hips , booty , theighs, calf and go by that too (once a month). sometimes the scale may not move but inches are coming off keep up the good work and good luck.

Don't get discouraged, most everyone goes through a stall in their 3rd or 4th week, this is due to your body trying to adjust to the drastic change you have made to it. When the stall is over your weight loss will start over again. I would not recommend trying to increase your work out routine drastically unlike the contestants on the biggest loser you just had a major surgery and need to ease into your exercise. Losing weight in a hurry is not the goal, losing weight for ever is the goal. It will get better. Good Luck.

Looks like you lost 21 lbs in 14 days?? That is wonderful. Keep doing what you are doing and you will continue to lose! You really are doing great

[KimMarh 99]

Funny this is my husband had the surgery in August and I know I will stall, but can't help but to weight myself everyday and get frustrated when it doesn't move!!!
