No weightloss

[yguess 61]

Hello all, I am a Newbie.

Before my surgery i weighed 267 and surgery was May 12 and i currently weigh 247 and for 1 1/2 weeks ,I have not lost anything. I have maintained 247-246.6

Is this normal?, I have read about the stretching of the pouch, and not chewing your food as fast and drinking Water at the same time. And since i have been reading so much about it ,im scared i will stretch my pouch.

Now when i was loosing a pound a day i was not really eating, just like 3 table spoons of Jello and 3 sips of broth if that and water.

I have now incorporated cottage cheese, hummus here and there and what ever i cook like maybe 4 Table spoons of..

Not sure if i need to stick with just Protein for the whole month or what. Im not so quite sure to know when im getting full. I know when i eat and i swallow at time it hurts, i barf sometime water or soy milk if its like 20 mins after i eat.

Im dreading to call the Dr. But i think i should.

Did anyone else have a stand still, i do exercise like run up the bleachers.

Any help will be appreciated,only those that have had the surgery.

You are smack in the middle of the famous (or infamous perhaps) 3 week stall. You are doing everything right. It is totally normal. Your body just has to catch up. Ride it out. It will break soon and typically breaks by a pretty significant amount. in the meantime, stay of the scale for a week (if you can) and concentrate on your Protein, fluids and Vitamins.

As @InnerSurferGirl says, "Embrace The Stall"!!

Oh girl! Trust me, I totally understand! I think I have weighed every single day since surgery (and well likely for the 4 months before surgery!) I am approaching maintenance stage and am going to have to stay off the scale myself! It is so weird to not see the pounds dropping anymore and a tiny bit of panic when it goes up by 1 pound. I just have to get used to that part. I don't want to lose anymore but I don't want to gain either! Promise your stall will end! And the best part is, once it breaks, it sort of free falls for a week or so (seriously some people see 3 to 5 pounds in one day!)

My therapist asked me today "did you ever expect to be down 120 pounds in a year when you started this?" Um, nope. I sure didn't. I thought I was a pretty slow loser too but boy does it add up! You got this!!

I'm going through the exact same thing...u r not alone. I lost 10lbs pre op and 10lbs my first week ...Nothing since then and I'm now 3 weeks out. 20lbs in a month is a lot so I figure my body is catching up. I'll weigh in a few weeks.

It took me about 4 weeks to see a weight loss. Drove me crazy, but it finally happened. My surgery was March 14th and I am down over 90lbs. It will happen.
