Stall 1 week post op!

[ash1188 1]

I'm 10 days post op and over the last 3 mornings I've lost less than half of a pound total! I lost 17lbs in the first week which was very exciting but now I'm freaking out a little bit the past few days... Has this happened to anyone else?

My guess is if you searched "Stall" you'd get thousands of posts. It probably happens to almost everybody at some time or another. Give it time, you will resume losing as everybody does.

Goodness, you haven't stalled, you've barely started! (I think the dreaded "stall" word must be handed out at WLS seminars, otherwise it's like not a word in the rest of the world's regular vocabulary. Relax, enjoy this gift -- and consider weighing yourself less frequently.

Thanks for the advice! I know I need to relax a little but I have a tendency to over think things. I know I should only weigh myself once a week but my discharge papers from the hospital say to call my doctor if I gain a pound or more in one day so that's why I'm checking so often. After 2 weeks I will get on a once a week schedule! Then I can only drive myself crazy once a week!

I also lost 17lbs the first week and stayed near that weight for the next two weeks. My doctor said that I had lost so much the first week (way above the norm) that I couldn't really "trust" that loss and predicted the next weeks would be very slow.

After the third week I have been steadily losing 2-5lbs a week. Don't stress it.

Thank you so much! It's nice to hear from someone with such a similar situation. It makes me feel a lot better!
