Kristi64 33 Posted December 19, 2012 Today I am one month post-op and have only lost 17 pounds. !4 of that was lost in the first 14 days after surgery so in the last 2.5 weeks i have only lost 3 pounds. It is very discouraging as little as I am eating. Just dont know what to do. 1 Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGamer 406 Posted December 19, 2012 If you look around the forums you'll see lots of posts referencing the "week 3 stall" where it's not uncommon for the body to just go WTF and stop losing weight for a couple weeks while it sorts everything that's happened out. During my stall I put on a couple pounds even though I was eating about 600 calories a day (and I weigh over 300). Sounds to me like what you're experiencing is normal, so don't worry, it'll pass. 1 Kristi64 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted December 19, 2012 Just keep doing what your doing... Your doing fine. Your body is losing inches right now. I always say, sit back and enjoy the ride...The weight will come off. Oh, and keep your diet low carb with lots of Protein. 1 Kristi64 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haragl 26 Posted December 19, 2012 i know how you feel. I was doing great and went back for my post-op 4 weeks and 2 1/2 months and hadn't lost anything . It was very disheartening but I know I am losing inches and doing the right things. I have decreased my carbs to see if that is the problem. Just stay strong. Your body is adjusting to new way of living and just needs time. Good luck on the road to better health. 1 Kristi64 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
