Stall At 2 1/2 Weeks Out

[Stardusted 13]

I've hit a stall 2 1/2 weeks post op! The scale won't budge! Any tips on getting through a stall?

surgerversary: sept 24th 2012. Starting weight: 240 Today's weight: 220!

at 2.5 weeks it's not really a stall. You're still healing and you're body is getting used to the reduced calories. Keep following your doctors/nutritionist eating plan and the scale will be moving. There are quite a few factors that can stop the scale for a while especially when so close to surgery. Swelling happens as you heal, all the Water retention from the surgery may not be gone...if you're cycle is coming soon you can retain fluids then too.

Also are you getting in enough Fluid...fluid in means Fluid out. If you're not getting enough in your body will hold onto what it has. Stick with their eating plan and that scale will move again real quick

That is happening to me also. My surgery was sept 27th, and I lost 12 lbs the first week out. I have now gone an entire week without losing anything, and I gained a pound. Don't know what's going on but I hope it passes soon! Today my surgeon has started me on "sensible" solids. So I can have chicken, turkey, cheeses, and other basic foods just no high sugar and fat. Scares me because I've been on liquids and stalled and now I have to start eating more food.< /p>

We all know how hard it is guys but be patient. Your body is going through a lot of changes and a lot of healing all at the same time. Relax a little and instead of wasting all of that energy on worry, focus it on following the protocol, getting ALL of you daily Protein, coming as close as you possibly can to 64oz of Water (or at least fluids) a day, and stay active. Trust the process. Give your body a little time to find its own way. You're gonna love the new you!!
