Stalled for 2 weeks



Recommended Posts

Ugh. I know this is normal but of course I am being irrational. 2 weeks no loss. Will I ever lose aging? Am I done? Did I break my sleeve? Ok I'm done now. Just needed to express it here because you all understand. So close to onderland. Grr.

You know the drill, are you getting your Protein? your fluids? your exercise? if so keep at it. if not go for it. You will lose again!

I'll echo Bronco0605 and add that I was sleeved about a month before you and I've seen a pattern of stalls. I have been meticulous about getting my Protein and Water every day since surgery. I've been less meticulous but "good" about maintaining my exercise regime, but even on weeks where I'm at the gym every morning and eating almost the same food every day, I'll go 5 days with no weight loss and then all of a sudden lose a pound a day for 2 days. Then back to a plateau. What has helped keep me motivated during those spells? I put my weight on the calendar every day and I concentrate on what the month looks like instead of each day or week. Even if I've only lost a little each month, I look at those numbers as "in the past". And look at how much you've lost already! Keep going!

And I am stalled for 5 weeks, but keep on keeping on. The one this a stall is NOT: It is NOT an excuse to quit. So I'm with you Claire, let's go!!!

Stalls are normal. Most people don't lose in a straight line but in stair steps. Just hang in there, stick with your program and you'll be fine!

I have a pattern it seems. I'll lose 7 to 10 lbs a week, then lose nothing for a week or two, then I'll lose like 2 to 3 lbs and then 7 to 10. Never fails. Doesn't make it any less frustrating though!! When I'm not losing I keep track of how many inches I lose. Cause i always notice it there :) Sometimes your body has to adjust to the loss. When it does this it tends to hold onto to Water making it look as though you are not losing, or maybe even gaining. Eventually you'll rid that Water and drop! At least that's what I do. I always know when I'm about drop weight I have to pee a lot!

Hi almost similar

While i notice that il loose inches first before pounds. Sometimes nothing for a week or 2. Then a few pounds lost. But not 10 pounds.

But I (go to the bathroom a lot ) then I know the scale is going to be moving.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
