Stall

[tkauhi 90]

I'm 5 weeks out and have been at a stall for 2-1/2 weeks now. I've lost 30lbs so far but now I'm worried it's not working anymore. I've changed up my exercise and upped my calories as best I can usually only getting 5-600 cals a day, that's all I can manage. I get all Protein but struggle with Water & liquids. Anyone else faced this delima?

Any suggestions???

I am in the same boat. The 38lbs in the first month. Started eating normal food , with exercise and no weightloss for 2 weeks. I find it impossible I could eat so little yet somehow dont lose weight or actually gain a pound. I dont even eat a pound or food so it must be Water weight. I went from losing a pound a day to nothing in one day. Everyone says these stalls happen from time to time. But it defies logic.

I was in the same boat and called my doctor's office in a panic. They got my head back in the game and in the last month I have dropped 20 pounds. I am 3 months in. My PA told me that our bodies are still healing and to follow the doctor's orders exactly. She was right. the little things i was doing was making my body on hold but now i am on track.

I am 8 weeks out and have lost 40 something pounds, but no weight loss in last week or two. I am frustrated because I had a gastric bypass to lose weight and have been eating the right foods. I am not even on regular foods yet, still on soft stage.

Well I lost 2.1 lbs today. I hope this is a good sign. I know we're not suppose to compare our weight loss to others but when you hear of others loosing 50,60,70 lbs or more in just 2-3 months it just kind of makes me jealous. Lol

But I'll take what I can get. 2.1 lbs down is heading in the right direction again.

Same boat as you all....January 20th was my surgery date - Lost 20 the first week....then about a pound a day...THEN Nothing for the last 3 weeks....maintained since....it is frustrating as all get out... I struggle to get my Protein in, but I am trying.... UGH.... tomorrow I am heading back to just the soft foods and see if this helps.....wish me LUCK!!!

Make sure you are getting enough Protein

I had surgery six weeks ago today. Including pre-diet I have lost 30 pounds. However for the last three weeks I have been at a stall. I taken 60 g of Protein a day. I eat lean low carb high-protein for dinner. I drink Abt 50oz of Water a day plus 2 Protein Shakes, and I small cottage cheese.. Why am I at a stall for 3 weeks? Help!!!!

I had surgery Feb 26 and have lost 34 lbs. But I was told that week three is when it slows down, HOWEVER, you should, I think, lose something in 3 weeks. For one thing, you need at least 75 oz. of water. How is your exercise? Put away the scale and stop obsessing, we all get addicted to when we lose something every day. I am going to weigh once a week now.....try increasing your movement and you water and if you don't see any results in a week, you should , I think, ask for a nutritional.. good luck and don't give up!!

My surgery was Feb 5th. I went through about a 2-1-2 week stall where I'd gain n loose the same 2 lbs over and over, it was so frustrating. I had been off all BP meds since surgery but they added back in the Water pill, that broke my stall. Not to say I don't still have a few days of ups and downs but slowly it's creeping down so almost 7 weeks out I'm now down 40lbs. I'm noit sure if I'm a slow looser or not but I'm happy with the ups and downs. As long as I have more downs than ups. Lol

Stalls happen to everyone. The first one is usually around 2-4 weeks post-op. You'll get past it as long as you're following your clinic's plan.

I think I am going to change my name to "Stalls every 3 weeks"

Me too. I find I don't eat enough. When I am able to eat more my weight drops. Its the metabolism that gets too low.
