3 week stall??

RNY 12/27/06.. I knew I would stall..we all do, but for 3 weeks?? whew! has anyone else had this? I feel great and have lost 45 pounds so I don't feel TOO bad but..3 weeks???

I too am at a stall, very frustrated. I have lost 31 lbs but nothing for 4 weeks now. I am trying to refocus, exercise, water, protien, no sugar. I hope this works. I beginning to think "what did I pay all this money for".

I too have stalled for 2 weeks and now I have lost maybe a ound, but I have definitely lost inches. I tried on things three weeks ago that didn't close at all and now they overlap. People always say to pay attention to inches too, so I am. I have lost about 45 too and I am healthy and happy and wearing smaller clothes. Chin up girls, we are good to go! nancy

Hey, it's good to meet people in the same boat..I guess that's what this forum is for huh? You're right about the inches.. that's been fun..not knowing what is going to fit tomorrow! Thanks for your responses!

Sundi: I had my surgery on 12/5. After about 5-6 weeks I stalled for over 4 weeks. It is completely normal and everyone goes through it. When I finally started moving again, I lost 5 lbs in 1 week! I know it's really hard but try not to weigh yourself for a couple of weeks. I on the other hand I was on the scale daily and would kick and scream at the damn thing. Everyone tells me that it is your body catching up to the intial weight loss. Keeping taking in the water and up the protien a little and hopefully you should be moving again real soon! Peggy

I figured out that I always stall for the two weeks before my menstrual cycle. It stinks because the hormones are up and to top it off I stall! Atleast, when I do start losing agian it is generally 10-15 lbs in the two weeks that are left. I know it is frustrating but it will end

I am expecting my period this week so maybe that's part of it..(TMI?) thanks for all of your support.. I don't feel so weird now knowing that some of us are in the same boat..

Yes.. I lost 44 total, and it seemed like it wasn't moving at all! It was at 40 for a while.. and then one day.. it was just 4 pnds less... I try not to stare at the scale every day.... its hard.. but I try. LOL
