Stalled at Week 3

[MsVictorious1020 497]

I'm freaking out a lil bit. I've been stalled for two weeks now. I've only lost 1 pound in that time. I've been walking daily and diligently taking in my Protein. I'm hoping this isn't foreshadowing what the rest of my journey will be like. I've been working so hard. I can't handle this disappointment well. Please someone anyone tell me this will end soon.

Hey there, did you get to speak with the NUT or Dietitian? Maybe you need to keep track of the calorie intake making sure your putting in enough or vice averse. Find out how many calories you should be on. Sometimes its just your body holding on to the weight, it will start to come off when it realizes this is life now and let go, LOL be patient.

Be sure to follow up with the NUT, also maybe your losing inches now that too sometimes comes off first.

My sweet Ernestine. I have been losing inches. I had my appt with Nurse yesterday and she told me to bump up calories. I'm going to fight my hardest to do so. Never in a million years did I ever think I would struggle in getting my calories in. Lmbo.

I was 3 weeks post op on Monday. I've also stalled, but I've heard that it is very common to stall at 3 weeks, so don't get too freaked out over it. It will come off

How many calories are you getting in daily? I'm getting approx 600, which I think is too low, but what can you do....other than add a milkshake....just kidding!!

[MsVictorious1020 497]

I'm getting about 600 calories too. Nurse said to get it closer to 800-900.

I stalled at about week 3. It's frustrating. I only weigh my self once a week now. Weigh yourself in the morning after you wake up.

I always weigh myself in the morning. I'm just trying so hard to up my calorie intake. I just moved to soft solids. It's taken me over an hour to finish 1 soft scrambled egg. Ugh.

The 3 week stall is so common there should be a sub forum just for it. Really, almost everyone does it....then goes on to lose their weight and get to goal, so don't worry too much about it. There is a link in my sig to a good article explaining the whole situation.

Nothing you're saying is out of the ordinary. It gets better each day and each week. Don't force your self to eat more calories if you can't.
