Weight Loss stall already?
I'm 16 days out today, I lost 20lbs since my surgery on March 2. However, I haven't lost ANYTHING in 6 days. Please understand I don't expect to lose 100lbs overnight, I'm just wondering if there's such a thing as a 2 week stall? I'm only eating 500 calories a day on average. So what's going on? Maybe I need to stop obsessing. I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

Its normal to stall for a few days or even a week or so. I know I did! I kept looking at the scale and wondering the exact same thing you are. "What am I doing wrong" I even posted and vented and everyone was so supportive here. You are doing good! Think about realistically 20 lbs. is very very good in just a few short weeks. I'm 7 weeks since my surgery and I've only lost about 27 lbs. So don't knock yourself for not having lost more. Every body is different and loses differently. Probably just try to eat more protein, walk more and drink a lot of fluids! It'll happen.
I'm 4 and 1/2 months post op. My weight loss goes in cycles. I drop....it stops.....I drop... it stops. I will lose steadily for days and then nothing.. After a bout a week or so it starts up again. I've learned not to let it bother me. If I'm doing the right things... its going to come off. Take your measurements.. try on smaller clothes. These are ways we can see the loss if the scale isnt showing it.
