Question in weight loss

[cblomquist0002 0]

I am post op 15 days today. I have lost 18 pounds. However, for the past 5 days I have haven't lost anything. Is this normal? I am meeting my protien and Water goals daily.

Search these forums for "week 3 stall". I would say about 90% of WLS patients experience a stall or even a gain in their third week post-op. It is completely normal.

Look in the sub forum "don't sweat the stall stuff"--very informative and so many examples. I just came out of my 3 week stall (lasted about that long too), but I'm losing again, so no worries, you can do this!!

The same thing happened to me (and a lot of people). Just keep telling yourself that this too shall pass! I'm now six weeks post-op and I have been losing nicely since my five week mark (about week 2 to 5 was nothing and I even gained some).
