Feeling defeated

[Tbird49 66]

I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and I'm feeling defeated already . I lost 20 lbs in the first two weeks then nothing I've been feeling tired etc ... I'm sure my body Is just in a shock mode I was a big carb eater now I have to figure out Protein stuff I just started soft solids I thought I was doing stuff right but I guess I'm not , I don't ... I can't fail at this ... I'm just in a funk sorry friends

I've heard SO many people say they hit a stall around this time. Don't worry! You're not alone! Seriously, if you follow the rules and can only eat a few ounces at a time, how could you NOT lose weight? This is just your body adjusting to the changes. Be gentle with yourself and stay positive! Yay!

I'm pre-op still but I have read so many people talk about the 3 week stall... Metabolisms are weird. Drink a ton of Water, stay the course and it will come off... I'm hoping to only weigh in monthly for this reason. Don't know how I'll do with that, but I'll try!

I had my surgery 9/10/13 and I'm having the same issue. I'm getting pretty emotional about it because I don't want to fail at this. My pre op weight was 297 and post op 270. I'm lost cause I been stuck at 270 for 2 weeks now.

That first stall will last 2-3 weeks. What you are feeling is totally normal. I posted something similar at two weeks out. You can't fail with this. You'll see. I'd tell you to put the scale away, but I still haven't been able to do it. I like weighing myself every day.
