Week Three Stall?

I've read several times that a stall in the third week is common, but I think I need to hear it again...that it's not just me and that it will pass! I lost 25 lbs. in my first two weeks and then, nothing! Has this happened to anybody else out there? And has anybody moved past it yet?

I am 3 weeks post op and I had a stall my second week, I lost nothing my second week. I was so upset. My first week 10 pounds, third week I lost 6 pounds. It's not just you and it's good to know it's not just me.

Me too, I havent lost anything in 5 days....just the same everyday...its common I've heard. I lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks and now nothing....

I had a little stall. My doctor says the first 3 weeks your body holds onto water weight so it should start coming off again soon!

This sure would explain my week 2 stall....just a bit earlier for me I guess. Hang in there...it's working (at least that's what I'm telling myself!)! Christina S

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this because I haven't lost anything in about a week either and I was getting discouraged. It's nice to see that there are others that are having the same problem. Let's keep each other posted as to when our plateaus are over. Nicole

I noticed that I lose weight every other day. It's really bizzare. I'm going into my 3rd week tomorrow and it seems to be slowing down alot. I was 2 lbs lighter this morning, but I was the same weight for a couple of days. Actually, I gained a half of a pound, that was scary. Hang in there, I'm sure its just another bump in the road. Have you been eating more lately? I notice when I eat something more "bad" for me, i.e. grilled chicken/mashed potatos as opposed to cottage cheese & yogurt, I lose more weight. Weird. Amber

Hi, I was about 2 weeks out and the weight loss came to a strong halt for 5 days. Then, my "monthly visitor" came and the weight dropped off 2lbs a day for 4 days after that. I didn't know I could hold that much water! News to me! Hope it helps..Wendi

19 days out and been at the same weight for about a week now and I have really been bummed out. Weird I came on to post this very thing! Thanks to everyone I see I am not alone. I hope to see some dropping soon! I got scared and thought it did not work.

Yes, I was stuck at the same weight for about a week!! Now it is starting to come off again! Dawn 288/236.5/140 http://www.geocities.com/diminishingdawn
