Stalled!

[Jmbaker24 4]

I'm 3 weeks post op, lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks but the scale hasn't moved in a week! Sad! Beginning to wonder if I'm foist to fail at this, if this is going to work for me, has anyone else gone through this?

I just posted the same thing a few days ago! I had surfery 2/18 and lost 12 lbs the first 10 days and not a pound since. I started eating soft foods that day too! Frustrating

Have you gotten past it and if so how? I'm so frustrated I know I shouldn't be and that stalls are normal but it's hard not to get discouraged!

No! I will be three weeks tomorrow... I saw my surgeon on Friday before my two weeks. He advanced me to soft foods. Whamo! My weight loss stopped! I can't seem to make it start again. I watch carbs and eat lean Protein. At a loss too, but I am taking comfort in it will pass

Keep doing what you are doing. I am just shy of 4 weeks post op. just before I hit 3 weeks I stayed the same for like 5 days (after 3 weeks). The past couple of days I have lost 5 pounds. Stalls happen. Just stay consistent and it will start to come off again. Also, try increasing your Protein.< /p>

I am about 3 weeks post op and I have stalled too. I lost 18 pounds the first week and nothing since! I don't know what's going on!

I was sleeved on 02/11/13 and had my first post op visit the very next Monday after that. Since then, I have gained 6 pounds. I was going to the gym and walking the treadmill for 30 minutes and walking up and down 5 flights of stairs 5 days a week. I was also doing exercises at home. I decided to test a theory out. I think that I was working out too much and not eating enough calories to balance it out, but how can we at this point. So, I stopped working out. My last regular work out was last Wednesday morning, which I only did 15 minutes on the treadmill. I haven't worked out since and am now down 4 pounds. So, I proved a point to myself, but as much as I want to just scrap the exercising to keep losing weight, I can't. I will go back to walking the treadmill for 30 minutes 3 times a week and see how things work out.

Muscle weighs more than fat. I am of the overall opinion of size is more important than weight. Ive been 200 lbs before and wore a size 10. I was very much in shape back then. So don't be to discouraged.

Monday will be 21 days and I have lost 7 pounds since surgery date, actually gained 8 ounces since I started puree, 14 pounds total with pre, very annoying to say the least

I had surgery the exact same date and have lost the exact same amount. I started soft food on day 12 and gained 2lbs of the 12 I'd lost... Been sitting at the same weight for 8 days... Are you 50 also? That would be too wild! I've lost a total of 14 lbs from pre-op til now

feb 18 surgery here too. I've lost 10 since surgery and have been stalling for the past week too.

With all do respect, a pound of muscle and a pound of fat are still a pound. However, muscle is more dense than fat which is why ladies, it is important to take measurements! Even when I went thru a stall (sleeved 1/15) I was still losing inches! I only weigh at dr appt now because I don't want to get discouraged. Just keep doing what you are doing, getting in Proteins, Water, Vitamins, exercise and trust the process.
