3 week and 6 week stalls
I am 8 weeks post op and this week only lost half a pound. It's so frustrating sometimes because I was doing well on my own before surgery and sometimes makes me think why did I bother with the surgery although I know I would be packing the pounds back on around the holidays and then it would become a downward spiral. I only weigh once a week, sometimes twice I check on a Monday to see how I did over the weekend so I don't see the daily fluctuations. I don't think there is anything you can do to avoid a stall but it does make you question what you are doing wrong. I know I went back over my menus to see if something was different but I think it's just the way it is.
Hi Hollynik,
I, like you don't weigh in often. I don't own a scale so I can only weigh in at the doctors or at the gym. I went to the doctor on sept 24 and weighed in and yesterday weighed myself at the gym and I was the same weight.... I try to not get discouraged but it is hard sometimes. Thanks for your reply :)
Everyone is different so try not to compare yourself too much, although I know it is hard not to. I am 8 weeks out and have actually gained 4 pounds and have not gone down from that gain for nearly 2 weeks. I was told that it is normal and that I am doing fine, but it does get discouraging. I only weigh once a week as well, I get too obsessed if I do more than that. It can become addictive. If you are concerned you could ask you centre. Hope your stalls breaks soon.
