What Happened??
Did I hit that stall? Or is my body going into starvation mode.
Is this the dreaded 3 week stall coming early like aunt flo? Haha
I think you answered your own question, lol. Sounds like you're doing fine. It's hard when you're first starting out and you want the weight to drop off everyday, it's exciting! But there are stalls and things do slow down later on. It WILL come off!

Surgery: Dec 2009, lost 100 lbs
You're doing the right things. Did you take your measurements? I always saw inches lost when the scale slowed down. Week 3 is usually when the majority of new post-ops have their first freakout......stay off the scale for a few weeks.

I'm 7 weeks out and I don't weigh at home. I've been weighed at the surgeon's and PCP's scales...only. I think, if you focus on the numbers, you'll drive yourself crazy. My clothes fit differently and that's good enough for me! When I go to the doctors, I've lost. I'm thrilled to see the scale there and, so far, it's showing loss that my doctors are happy, too. Not sure what I'll do when I hit a stall....? We'll cross that bridge when it comes, I suppose. But, I'm trying really hard to follow the rules and not stress about the pounds lost.
My NUT told me to not count calories this early out...to concentrate on getting in the proteins, vitamins and fluids. The focus now is the learn to get the 3 meals, establish good habits and relationship with foods, then I will incorporate calorie count into the diet.
I had a bit of a stall, I just hit 4 weeks post op on tuesday....but I also had my monthly visitor for the first time in 11 months as well so I attributed the stall partially to that as well. I think we will all hit stalls and we just have to keep supporting each other through them!!!
