Weight loss stall

[Cdm624 0]

I was sleeved on 3/27 and lost roughly 35 lbs. in the first 3 weeks. Since then I've been stuck at roughly 335. I started at 370. I've been trying to stay away from the scale to avoid discouragement but it doesn't seem to work.

I'm getting my 60+ grams of Protein and 60+ ounces of liquid in per my Dr. each day. Some days are easier than other. I'm not eating any junk food and am staying less than 25 carbs each day. Basically I'm eating meat and Protein Shakes. By my best guess I'm getting somewhere between 600-800 calories most days but some days way less (around 450).

I know its WAY too early to panic, but am I just making about big deal and worried over nothing about this stall?

You can search "stall" and most everyone has been through it. No need to panic. Just keep on track and it will start coming off again. It can last from a few days to weeks. 3 things you need to do - get in your Water, your Protein and your Vitamins.

This is normal. You are following your plan. How about some form of exercise?
You are doing all you can. The rest is up to your body. I'm in a stall too. But this to shall pass.

Ive been at a stall for a while now. I lost 50 lbs in the first few months and then nothing really since. I work out and eat right. I am told by the doctor that this is normal and it will pass.

I stalled at 4.5 weeks I am almost 6 weeks. No movement. I'm about to throw the scale across the room! It's probably broken, lol. 5 miles a day of walking.

Sounds like you need to up your calories.

Google the "3 week stall". It's normal.

Sleeved on 3-21. I too had the dreaded 3 week stall! I literally did throw away my scale!! Stomped out and tossed it right in the trash can. Lol. I went and bought a new scale....no difference. . I went a week and the scale started moving again. All is fine now! And....Although I don't recommend throwing away a scale....I do have a much cuter bathroom scale now.

Bahahahahaha!!!!! Too funny.

I go back to the surgeon on the 1st, and I'm afraid he's going to say something about not enough loss. Although I'm down 50.

Lol... I'm looking for a cuter scale.< br>I'm happy that the scale moves in the right direction.
We didn't gain this weight over night. We just need to follow our nutritional guidelines, be true to our goals, exercise, and track! We got this! [emoji1303]

I'm in the same exact position!Sleeved 3/27 and lost about 26lbs but now I'm stuck. Apparently there is a "3 week stall" that happens to a lot of people. I'm hoping it passes real soon.

Refusing to step on the scale! I would LOVE to have a fruit salad for lunch, or just a salad!! I bring meat to work, but when I bring a sandwich, I do put it on bread, can't help it, can't eat lunch meat plain.

I am not sure of calorie intake, but it isn't 1000 a day, SO START MOVING STUPID SCALE!

Be patient. Add some vegetables, don't be afraid to keep increasing calories. Most of us need more like 80-100 grams of Protein a day, 80-100 oz of Water is better too. But work up to that slowly in those early days. The goal is to get to a normal healthy amount and variety of food. Stick to 100% whole grains when you do eat grain-based food. And don't hesitate to change your mind. Of course you can eat just meat, and it's ok if you choose to eat bread. Track everything, vary the choices, and you will find a rhythm that works for you. Patience is key.

I find when I stall that it is good to change something up. If you have been walking try a low impact workout dvd. Are you in a food rut eating the same things? I agree that increasing calories and even carbs for a couple of days would be good. The key is to stick with it and keep sharing your progress/venting to us. We've all been there and can relate and you are not alone.

I've lost about 30 lbs since the original post, so the whole "stall" thing is truth...Now it seems I'm stuck in one again.

I've been stuck at 307 lb for a little over a week. I'm struggling to get my Protein in but have no issue getting 70+ ounces of Fluid each day. I'm at about 40 g of protein on average daily. I solely eat meat and not much of it. I'm just not really ever hungry. I get busy at work and forget that I need to eat. Protein Shakes arent an option as they disgust me since surgery.

Hopefully this is just another "stall" and I'll be back on track in a few days.
