Slowing down

[musiclover 61]

I have lost 21lbs including 1 week pre-op since surgery on 21st May. I'm trying not to be disappointed with this but I am approaching 3 weeks tomorrow and I've lost virtually no weight at all this week. Gutted

Search the three week stall, and you will see that this is normal. When you see 20 pounds drop off in a matter of a couple of weeks, we quickly come to expect it will continue, but most likely it won't. Our bodies will only lost so fast. It took me a bit to adjust to this, and I've gone as long as 18 days and not lost a pound, and there are people here who have gone longer. However, we are all successful because we just keep doing what we need to do - follow the rules of your program. If you do that, it eventually comes off. As soon as I came to grips with the realization that the laws of weight loss have not changed with the surgery, I spend a lot less time stressing about something I can't change. I figure if I'm doing what I am supposed to be doing, there is nothing else I can do to impact the rate of weight loss. Good luck and hang in there, just focus on eating right and getting in some exercise.

I came home from the hospital - having gained 4 or 5 pounds! Took a few days (water weight from IV fluids) for that to come off, then - nothing for 4 or 5 days! Then, one morning I woke up and stepped on the scale - down 5 pounds! I have decided to just weigh once a week and just do what I'm supposed to be doing. 18 days out ...

It's very normal to have a stall at three weeks. Be patient. Your body is adjusting to the lower calories and amount of food.< /p>

I had surgery on may 15th and I'm literally on my second stall in 5 weeks. I've lost 18 pounds so far. Didnt have a pre-op diet so the 18 pounds is from day before surgery to today.
