3 weeks out

[liljilo 50]

I honestly don't love My Fitness Pal. I created a Google Doc on my phone where I list each food I ate and how much Protein and calories it had in it. I also found a Water bottle that holds 24 oz and just make it a goal to drink 3 of those a day.

My Fitness Pal feels too complicated for me right now when I'm just focused on calories and Protein.

I pretty much stalled weeks 2 & 3. Just got into week 4 and am finally down 2 pounds. It's normal. Your body is just adjusting.

@@lilijo,

Congratulations on your surgery! Yep, the three-week stall is definitely a thing, especially when your first few weeks after surgery have seen such fast weight loss, like you! Your body is just catching up from the stress of surgery and the quick weight loss. You’ll lose again when you’re ready as long as you follow the program!

In the meantime, what should you do? Stay positive, because there is no point in getting down about something you cannot control. Stick to your diet, since that is what will let your body lose more weight when it is time. Bump up your liquids, since that can never hurt. Focus on non-scale victories, since there will be TONS of progress during this time, like feeling better and losing inches if not pounds.

Congratulations again, and good luck!

I am right there with you!! My surgery was 9/10 and I weigh every Sunday! Last week I was down 26, and this week...... Exactly still 26 . It's the three week stall. I am just going to focus on fluids and Protein this week and not go near the scale until next week. I was also told that our bodies have a "memory" too, and I can't help but notice that I was stuck at 238 for about a year, which is exactly where I am now. So smile and embrace it, some of us are arm in arm with ya right now

The scale has always been my enemy with weight loss, it has sabotaged me and derailed me so many times that I am kind of avoiding it now. My plan is to weigh when I visit the doctor's office. I figure my clothes will tell me all I need to know. So my little signature ticker here probably won't change for a while, till I go to a doctor visit

[magicianbeautician74 26]

Woot woot!!! 232.4 ????
