question about stalls?
I lost 9 pounds in the 4 days after my surgery. not including the water weight i gained and lost (6lbs) by the time i left the hospital.
And I havent lost anything since then.. I'm 2 1/2 weeks out now.
How long did your first stall last?
I'm doing everything my surgeon and doctors have said.. 80+oz of water/sf fluids, 60+grams of protein.. Only on mushy/soft food still.. Exersizing (walking mostly.. i've gone swimming twice.. which felt amazing. so glad my incisions healed up fast enough for me to go, before they close for the season.. gotta love ohio weather.) at least 40 minutes a day...
I know the stall would break. But i hadnt heard of anyones stalls lasting almost 2 weeks..?

Just stay the course --- you'll start losing again. Your body just has to catch up as it heals. It sound like you're right on the money with your stats and exercise.
Some advise-----and you'll hate this---but don't get on the scale for the entire week. If you weighed this AM, just wait until next Monday to weigh again. It's very frustrating while waiting for the scale to move. But it's difficult to wait the whole week--I get that!
There is no "normal" length of a stall or pause or plateau--whatever. I never had a short pause in weight loss---really consistent EXCEPT when I have had my 3 pauses in 15 months---they lasted 4-5 weeks each... but huge losses in the following months.
Each of our loss patterns are different. Stay focused---you're doing great.
thanks again.(:

Just keep doing what your doing......same thing......
Don't let anyone tell you to change it up......that's crap.....ever see a dog chase his own tail !!! bout the same thing.....
Ride it out....your body is in shock and doesn't know what to do.....it's trying to repair itself......
If your not losing at around 8 weeks out....than we gotta look at your calories.....but for now....cruise!

I've read a few of your back posts and I'm VERY IMPRESSED with your maturity, intelligence and research you did.
Your doing great!
The only Red Flag that comes up when I read your posts......Your family and fast foods......If I remember correctly......
It will be hard.... but you gotta refrain from the fast food temptations through weight loss. The only real semi-approved fast food that seems to be common is Wendy's Chili.
I'm rooting for you!!!
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or issues. If you would like I could introduce you to Elina or any other of our woman vets.

Haha, thanks.
Yeah.. Family and fast foods would definatley be it. But honestly I've never been a huge fan of fast food.. I'm the only person in my family who ever cooks, so if I'm not home or dont for whatever reason, fast food it is. But. my family can keep doing that if they want.. I've taken charge of my own meals and such since pre-op and plan to continue that. I know i have to, and have no problem doing so.
Thanks, again. The support means a lot. So glad I found this site... Haha. (:
