Good evening OH family!

Ok so I am 3 weeks out as of this past monday.  Im feeling great, almost like I didnt have surgery at all.  Im tollerating stage 3 food very well and measuring everything I eat.  Just about everything I eat is protien. Im walking around the marina and neighborhood every day for excercise.  However for the last week the scale has not moved an ounce.  (sorry guys) I am 2 days into my monthly cycle so Im guessing I have that extra water bloating going on.  I used to go up like 5lb and eat everything in sight before surgery.  Now I dont eat so Im guessing its the water....  Is this normal.  Am I supposed to be stalling this soon?
Thanks ladies, sorry guys
Much love
Tegan

I've had lots of mini-stalls, where I don't move anywhere for a few days, but then I notice that I drop inches during that time usually.  Also with the TOTM, I'm sure that's gonna throw you off as well.  I don't have any periods, so I'm not sure about that part.

Yes, it's normal.  You are being affected by your monthly visitor.  I would almost bet that in a couple of days you'll be moving (the scale)again.  Make sure you are drinking your water and supplements, as well! 
Hey,
You're on your way!!!

I stop losing, sometimes gain a little bit every month right before that time of the month. I feel your pain.

Also, don't be surprised if you hit the dreaded first stall soon. After I was about a month out, I stalled for 36 days. I was going crazy. All you can do is do what your doc says, drink, exercise and get your protein in. There are lots of different explanations for it, but a lot of people get it.

When I start getting freaked about the scale, I put it away for a week.

Good luck!!!
