jackie1533 1 Posted April 3, 2021 Hey everyone, I’m kinda starting to freak out. I had my surgery on 2/10, 7 weeks ago. I have not lost weight in 4 weeks. I’m down about 25 pounds since surgery but the scale isn’t budging really. I’ll go up a pound and down a pound but outside of that, nothing. 4 weeks to me is a long time for such a stall this early. I’m tracking everything I eat. Everything. Staying under 1000 calories. Could be better with Protein and Water, but making good food choices. I work out every day via cardio. I have lost inches but that’s kinda stalled too. I’m worried this isn’t going to work for me. Like what the heck. I’m working so hard. I don’t get it. Help! Thanks, Jackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loridee11 522 Posted April 3, 2021 My "3 week stall" lasted about 3 1/2 weeks. Be patient and follow your plan! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted April 3, 2021 it's a stall. Going that long isn't common, but it's not unheard of. As long as you're following your program, you should be fine and it'll break... 1 sillykitty reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Jackie I had my surgery on 2/8 and have been losing pretty slow as well. You aren't alone. This month I've only lost like 6 lbs. Honestly, I think it's because all of the restrictive dieting I've done before. My body might be used to it. I think we just have to wait it out. There are so many positive stories about people who lost weight slow and still met their goals at the end of year one. I'm focusing on that. I figure even if I lose 5-10 lbs a month I cant still meet my goal in a year. On a positive (not so positive) note, I went on vacation last week, and wasn't so health conscience and I didn't gain any weight either. Seems my stall works both ways.
