Shonabear 107 Posted November 6, 2012 I'm 3 Weeks post op. I haven't loss any weight since week 2. I'm feeling down. What am I doing wrong? Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted November 6, 2012 first of all at this stage of the game and I guess for the rest of your journey patience is key. At 3 weeks your body is still adjusting to what it has been dealt. It is very likely you are in starvation mode where your body is going to hold onto its fat for dear life. Also how much Protein are you getting in... max amounts will show greater weight loss. Also are you drinking your Water and getting your Vitamins and exercising. If you follow protocol the weight will come off you just have to have patience. 3 babygirl901, Vicki Loichinger and Shonabear reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your probably right about my body being in starvation mode. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwiladydee 402 Posted November 6, 2012 I just had 3 weeks of no weight loss and then 5 to 7 pounds by the 4th weeks. The body is a weird machine. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk 1 Shonabear reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shonabear 107 Posted November 6, 2012 I know it slows down eventually but I just didn't think this early in the game it would. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk It's slow but watch you will be shock when the scales moves & you drop 5lbs or more. I was stall then thinking only I'll lose 1pound wrong like 5lbs I lost I got on the scale 3 times to confirm. Lolz 1 Shonabear reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckeyemarty 11 Posted November 6, 2012 We didn't gain all our weight in weeks or months. It took years even decades. It will come off I hear there are ups and downs. I'm only 12 post op but it seems like its a journey not a vacation. We will all get there as long as we stay strong and postitive and keep moving forward. 2 Shonabear and virgie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anne-Cuse 43 Posted November 6, 2012 Shonabear, I am in the same boat this week. I told myself this morning, no scale for a couple days..... It's very irritating. But it is truly amazing how much I am turned away from so many foods now. I am however craving Chinese food. Lol......we will get there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Camprn25 8 Posted November 6, 2012 Im in the same situation as you both. Im 3 weeks out from surgery and have lost 10 #'s. The scales have not moved since the first post op visit. I started at the gym last night and hope that will give me a boost. I DO feel the difference in the fit of my pants and bra though- so it seems something is going on. Patience we will have to be.It helps knowing we are not alone in the journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
