First Stall - less than 2 weeks after surgery???

[FluffyChix 17,418]

Stalls suck, period. ((hugs)) Hang in there, follow your doc's plan. Don't deviate. Log your food. Plan your meals for the day. And if remotely possible limit the scale time (not possible for me, but maybe you will be more successful! hehe). The 3 week stall usually happens anywhere between week 2 and week 4. Make sure you're getting your fluids in and walking each and every day!

Oh also, check your food for hidden sugars! Check your Protein Drink for sugar and carbs! Check your Vitamins for sugars. If you are consuming lots of things with small amounts of sugar that's not good and you need to find replacements for them.

I think I saw on Big Ward where a patient wasn't losing and was having 2 huge smoothies a day, come to find out each smoothie had an outrageous amount of sugar and carb in them...she changed it out and began losing again!

@FluffyChix has really good advice on this matter. Hidden sugar can be everywhere which is why a consumer needs to be as educated as possible when it comes to food labels.

I stalled about two weeks right after surgery too, for almost 6 weeks. Crazy! I was certain I wasted my money on yet another weight loss surgery, but then the weight started falling off rapidly. 4 months out now, and down 79lbs. Hang in there, it will happen.

Congrats! I’m down 80 pounds today at 3 1/2 months out!

Update! It may be because I foolishly took a ducalax yesterday and spent the majority of the day in the bathroom, and I’m afraid of speaking too soon... but the scale was finally down this morning!!!

It was some kind of Protein Powder that had lots of carbs, like 51g of carbs in the powder per scoop? Then maybe she was adding some fruit to it? But I may be mixing up 2 of the people. There was one that was drinking fruit smoothies by the gallon. LOL.

Don’t worry. I’ve had a few stalls. It’s so frustrating bc I know I’m doing everything right. Just keep on doing your thing. Be consistent w your Protein, Water and Vitamins.
