12 days post op and no weight loss

[asweetypi 0]

I had surgery on 1/15/13. Everything seemed to be going great, weight loss of 15lbs right away. Now it's been 12 days and I haven't lost anything. This is very discourging Not sure if this has happened to anyone else so early in the game? Also, I was wondering if anyone gets dizzy and heart races when standing from a sitting or laying position? I'm thinking it might be dehydration, and I try very hard to get all my fluids in, which is pretty much impossible right now. Thanks for any feed back

The weight loss will start back up, you probably just hit an early stall. Stalls will happen, your body has to adjust to the sudden weight loss. Also take your measurements, cause if you're in a long stall you will probably be losing inches instead. I'm 5 weeks out and still not getting all my liquids in, but my nut said that was normal at this stage. Just keep your eye on the prize...you'll get there. Good luck!

If you aren't getting enough Fluid in it may be stopping you from losing the weight. If you are having a hard time getting the fluid in because of swelling maybe try drinking more warm liquids or even room temp the warmer stuff helps get the swelling down and is therefore easier to drink. Good Luck. Also, make sure your getting enough Protein because that can make you tired and dizzy also.

Thank you both for responding. I will try really hard to get all my fluids and Protein in

Don't worry! This happened to me too! I lost 12 lbs my first week and I'm almost at week two and went up a lb! It's just an early stall, and over time the weight will come off

I had surgery on 1/14/13 and this happened to me too. The last two weeks, no weight loss at all and this morning I weighed myself and had lost 4 lbs. Total lost since surgery is now 22 lbs.
