MARCH VSG FRIENDS
Anyone else hit the 3 week stall.
Hi - yes I had a 3 week stall and now at my 5/6 week stall !
Think it's just the body catching up - I think you just have to keep with the programme - concentrate on good protein, keep up the fluids and keep on walking/exercising.
It worked for me at 3 weeks out and am sure it will continue to work for me now.
I have started to pay more attention to what I am eating and am now logging everything so that is helpful to start learning properly out sources of protein and carbs etc.
I also went in-line skating for the first time this morning which was fun - even though I did provide entertainment for the gardeners ! First time I've been on skates since I was at school !
Am sure you will start losing again soon.

OMG seriously... I could not just stall like everyone else... I went UP FIVE POUNDS!!!
Grrrr.....
Seriously?!
Arg!
I know it's part of the process and hopfully it means I am properly hydrated and all that but it just freaks me out because I stalled for a whole year trying all sorts of stuff before surgery so of course i am one of those that thinks I am going to be the one that the surgery does not work for....

Follow my progress on youtube!
(Lost slowly and painfully from 355 to 275 from 2007-2009, then started gaining again before scheduling surgery! Best thing I ever did! :D)

I'm about one month post-op. My stall lasted 2 weeks..
Admittedly I was slacking on drinking water because it was tough to swallow at first and I just wasn't thirsty.
Then, I started thinking the same thing Maryposa just said, how sad it would be if I'd gone through this whole surgery and the most I would lose is 15 pounds...
So I started keeping track of my fluid intake, and magically over the weekend 3 pounds gone :)
Your body is adjusting...give it time and just keep getting in your protein and taking your vitamins and water, and follow your doctor's eating plan.
