Fustrated!

[JennJenn 1]

I had my surgery on April 3, 2013. The first week I liost 20 lbs, the second week 5 lbs. I have not lost any more weight since week 2. Im stalled at 25lbs and this week makes week 4. Where do I go from here because Im getting fustrated!

Everyone around here says that you can expect a stall at week 3. Just keep doing what your doctor directed, and things should start moving again. Sometimes your body needs a bit of time to adjust. Or so they tell me

I hit my first stall at less than two weeks out. I was stalled for two and a half weeks and the scale finally started moving again a little over a week ago. This past week (I weigh officially on Mondays since that was my surgery day so I "officially" weighed this morning) I lost 6.8 pounds. That's the most I've lost in one week since the week of surgery (you can look at my signature and see how I have done each week). The stall will break, keep your chin up. This may be your first but it won't be the last. I think we get spoiled to watching the scale move down everyday and when it quits we get frustrated. I felt like a brat whining over not losing but still I wasn't getting my way so I whined. I will tell you this, when I was in my stall, it seemed like more people noticed my weight loss. I even dropped a pant size, maybe 2, during my stall. I absolutely lost inches even though I didn't lose weight. Measure yourself and see where your inches are coming off even if the scale isn't moving. You've got this!

Hang in there. You're not done losing by any means! If you stick with your plan your weight will start to come off again. There are all kinds of posts on this site that talk about the dreaded week three stall, and stalls at other times in the process.

In the meantime, did you remember to take measurements before surgery? If you did, now would be a good time to take that tape measure out again. Chances are, the inches are still coming off as your body takes this break to readjust. If you didn't measure before, get some measurements now to use when you stall again (yup, it will quite likely happen again). I'll bet that if you think about it, the clothes are still getting looser.

And really, think about it. You lost 25 lbs in less than a month! That's a terrific accomplishment already, even if your stall takes a bit longer to break.

Meanwhile, get your Protein, get your Water, get your exercise, get your sleep. You'll be fine!

Good luck!

Me too. It was a horrible stall that lasted more than 2 weeks. Just ridiculous! But the scale finally moved. Yours will too!
