PopGuzman 2 Posted April 8, 2015 Hey guys, I had my surgery exactly one month ago. The first 2 weeks I lost 22 pounds and then it just stopped. I'm on day 16 at the same weight. I get all my Water and Protein in and no results. I think my surgery is broken lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiba 47 Posted April 8, 2015 I feel your pain! Apparently it's normal, I'm on my 4th week and it's stalling bad. I'm going up and down two pounds every day. I hope to see a drop again soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogofulm 2,440 Posted April 8, 2015 Here you go.... Congratulations! You have reached The Dreaded Week-3 Stall. It's perfectly normal, and just about all of us have suffered through it. You're not crazy, and your doctor didn't screw up. In fact, you might not lose any weight for two weeks or even longer. But don't worry – after that, the pounds will start falling off if you stick to your program. And, the inches will continue to come off even while the scale isn't budging. Here's a good article that explains why it happens and why we all have to go through it. Hang in there. Pretty soon it'll be in the rear-view mirror and you'll be dropping weight again! (Apologies to BP regulars who have seen this repeatedly, but it's a big deal to those who are going through it!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
