aelovelady 243 Posted March 17, 2015 The best advice I can give it to exercise. It really works! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LosinginTX 3 Posted March 17, 2015 Yes, I have experienced the same thing. Make sure to get all your Water (64oz) and get in lots of Protein and exercise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca Jo Ragon 33 Posted March 17, 2015 That happened to me. Huge weight loss when I went back for my first visit and then nothing for a couple weeks. Many people refer to a 3 week stall. However, mine started the second week. Either way, if you are getting in your Protein and Water things are happening. You will see weight loss. I don't know all of the scientific reasons why the body holds on to weight like it does and then suddenly releases it. Truth be told, I am not sure the doctors fully understand it either. LOL! Anyway, focus on the Water and Protein and avoid the scales for a few days and then go back to them. They will start moving in the right direction. Good luck!

CindyWinFlorida 3 Posted March 17, 2015 jencooper we are twins! I am 4 weeks post RNY - lost 20 lbs by the 2nd week but nothing since and I am 4 weeks out as of yesterday. Its really frustrating. I just hope when the body releases the weight it releases 10 lbs at a time. How long does this "stall" typically last? Isnt this too soon to stall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jencooper 2 Posted March 17, 2015 I appreciate all the feedback. I was thinking I was doing something wrong. I know I will have stalls but I thought this was too soon???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FldivaRN 5 Posted March 17, 2015 I hit an unbelievable stall at about 3 weeks, it seemed like I was eating nothing, but the scale would not move. I stopped watching the scale, worked really hard a getting in my water/protein and after almost 3 weeks the numbers started going down. I am now 14 weeks post op and down 65 lbs. my only advice is stop watching the scale and get in those liquids, it works, it really works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmblackmon35 14 Posted March 19, 2015 I guess we are all in the same boat...I am also 4 weeks post op and dealing with a stall as well...I was also thinking the same thing, that this was to early to be dealing with a stall...but now I see it fooled me....But I am reading and listening to others about getting my Proteins in, my Water and upping my exercise...Hopefully we all will be out of this stall very soon.. I wish everyone the best... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
