I have my surgery on Wed but I have heard your story before. Protein is key in weight loss. If you aren't getting in your protein, your body goes into 'starvation' mode and holds on to weight.

Have you tried greek yogurt? cottage cheese? protein shakes?

Good Luck!

Do a search here on Third week stall... you will be surprised how many peole got stuck on weight loss 2-3 weeks out.

Just stick to your plan... get your water and protein and some exercise and the scale will move again.

You do hit plateaus every now and then, but you will start losing again as long as you follow the plan.

yes - it's quite normal....  it's known as the "week 3 stall" and just about everybody goes through it...

just hang in there, it wil pass..

My week three stall lasted three weeks. Just keep doing what you are doing, and eventually it will all catch up and you will start losing again.

thank ya'll so much!  i'm like doing everything buy the book and nothing!  although i'm very proud of my sucess so far! and feeling great for the first time in my life! 

thanks again ,

Way to go on the loss! Keep your chin up and remember to get your fluids in too. I'm SO proud of you!!!

Your body is trying to figure out what the hell you've done to it. We didn't get fat overnight, getting skinny takes time too. Just keep following your post-op guidelines, relax and enjoy the ride. Stalls happen, don't fret, you can't screw this up unless you purposely start eating craptastic food, and just throw in the towel.

The dreaded 3 week stall...completely normal.
