Nichole79 2 Posted July 20, 2013 Hi ! My name is Nichole and this is my first time posting on a forum here. I am 2 1/2 weeks post op. I am now starting solid foods (about three days ago) and I am doing pretty well with anything Ive tried. My frustration is with the stupid scale !! I lost a lot of weight my first week or so (about 20 pounds). Then in the last week NOTHING. The scale wont move. I know that was a crap load to loose in less than two weeks but now I am feeling frustrated. I can barely get in 600 cals a day right now ( I am getting my Protein goals though) and I am exercising everyday and nothing ?? really !?! I know this is just irrational thinking but I am thinking what if this dosnt work for me ??? What if I don't loose ??? I have worked so hard to get here and I just don't want this to be another failure. Prior to surgery I was not focused on the scale at all ....just living a healthier life ....now post op Ive become obessed with the scale. I need to just put it away and stop weighing myself and get focused on living healthy. Sorry ....just needed to vent and rant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa's Hope 421 Posted July 20, 2013 You WILL lose. I promise. Your body is just adjusting. I lost 50 pounds in 6 weeks I think. Not for sure until I look at my tickler but don't fret because it will come off. No way it can stay on. We just go through these stalls because our body had to adjust to all that has happened. It is in survival mode right now. You are doing all the right things it seems from your post. Congratulations on being sleeved. You have a wonderful journey ahead of you. Just relax and enjoy the ride! 1 Nichole79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reigo 111 Posted July 21, 2013 If you search here for stalls, you are not alone! It is normal and it is frustrating for sure! Been stalled for a few weeks now myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TES 858 Posted July 21, 2013 There's something called the "three week stall" which started for me at two weeks. Hang in there--your body is adjusting. Look at it this way--even if you don't lose until 4 weeks, that's an average 5 pound per week loss. Keeping rocking it. 3 Momonanomo, francie348 and Nichole79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
