    Default At a Standstill

    I am post op 3 weeks. I have lost 25 lbs since I have began this whole process but now for the last week and a half, nothing. It is very discouraging. Has this happened to anyone else? Please let me know. I am not eating a lot. I eat mostly pureed fruit like watermelon, and creamy soups right now. Please help! Thanks!

    Yes! This normal. Research "stalls" on this page
    It is very helpful to read lots if other people's stories.
    Week 3 and 5 seem to be common for stalls.
    Read up and stay focused. I'm on week two of a stall. Frustrating but the end of the world.
    Good luck.

    Yep, I have been stalled for about a week and half now so it started at 7 weeks. I know what you mean about this darned stall, it sucks! LOL It too shall pas, it's just been so fun to see the scale go down. I am trying to get below 200 and I have 18 pounds to go to reach 199 and it is just dragging. We shall overcome!!

    I haven't had surgury yet. Are your clothes getting more loose even thought the scale is stalled. Don't give up, your going to get skinny in time, I know you will!!!

    Don't know how often you are weighing yourself but do try and stay off the scale for at least a week. The stall will break.

    Yes the stall is very normal. Can I make a suggestion tho that might help?

    Watermelon is very high in natural sugars...not sure what other fruit you're pureeing. I was pretty much told to stay away from watermelon and any fruit that had the word "berry" in for the 1st 6 weeks. The berry part being because of the seeds.

    Other than that just making sure you're getting your protein and fluids in is about all you can do. Hold tight..it won't last!

    I bet everyone on this forum has hit a stall. I agree with wannabehealthy stay away from the scale and only weigh yourself once a week. Good luck and God Bless... Mem
