Weight loss slow going

[Asmundson69 17]

I had surgery about 3 weeks ago and since losing 30 pounds at the beginning I haven't lost anymore weight within one week is that normal

I had the surgery 2 weeks ago. Lost 9 lbs pre-op and about 8 in the first week post op and 0 since. I was beginning to get worried.

You've lost 30lbs in less than a month. You are doing beyond great. You will have stalls during this process - lots of them. Weightloss even with surgery is not typically linear but rather more step like - you'll drop a bit, stay steady maybe even go up a pound or so, then drop some more, and on and on.

Thank you so much I was getting worries that I was doing something wrong.

do a search for the 3 week stall - you'll see lots of posts about people hitting their first stall the 3rd week out from surgery!

You might also want to start checking your measurements. Many people find that the weeks where the scale isn't moving are the weeks where they actually lose the inches as their body adjusts to the new weight,

@@Asmundson69 30 lbs in 3 weeks is incredible - there's nothing at all slow about that!!! Your body is adjusting - just stick with the plan and hang on for the wild ride!

Just want to say thanks for this post. I'm 6 weeks out and my weight hasn't changed much in the past week. This gives me hope!
