Anyone else plateau 2-3 weeks post-op?

[dgal 3]

I'm at Day 20 post op and I've been at a plateau for almost a week now. I'm getting enough Protein for sure. Any suggestions? I'm still at the puréed stage of the diet.

I have also. Going to see the dr tomorrow for a check in. Worried.

Your body has been through a lot. Maybe it's in shock. My experience is once I plateau for a week, I loose a a few kilos the next week.

But if your worried maybe give your surgeon a call and ask. It can't hurt [emoji4]. Wishing you good health.

Yes! My weight loss was going great... until week 2. Hit a plateau right around week 2, and have been in it ever since. Going to be 2 weeks on Friday that I've been stuck at 200. 200!!!! Ugh!!

There are a lot of threads on here that talk about the 3 week stall. It is a thing and sounds like almost everyone has encountered it.

Thanks that really makes me feel better about it. I've been trying to rack my brain of what I was doing wrong and I couldn't come up with anything

It's funny thta you wrote this. My surgery was on August 1st, and I've lost 30 pounds. I know tha sounds like a lot, but it was all in the first 2 weeks. I haven't lost anything since. I'm following the diet, but not losing. I saw my doctor on Monday. He said it happens and not to be concerned. Just keep doing what I'm doing and maybe up the exercise to give my weight loss a boost. I want that scale to move! I feel like I took this major step in having this surgery and now I need results. I'm so afraid to fail at this like every other diet I've tried.

The same with me. I had a check up today and he said it happens. I lost like 20 lbs in the 1st two weeks and then 10 lb the next 3 - 4 weeks. Hopefully next month will be a larger loss.

[gotime0810 71]

I'm two weeks out today. I'm a "lightweight" so I don't expect to lose a lot quickly. That being said, I lost 10 lbs the first week and basically nothing this past week. I have noticed my stomach is not as poofy so I'll take that.

I have a feeling my stall might be due to Water and possibly Vitamins. My Protein goals are being met with no issues. I do have trouble getting in 64 oz of water a day. I can drink it fine, I just can't seem to get that much in a day. I had trouble meeting that goal pre-surgery, so this is not a shocker. I am also having trouble taking my vitamins, they are chewable and I HATE chewable vitamins. I

I have my first appointment with my NUT tomorrow and have a long list of questions to make sure I'm doing this right.

I'm a lightweight too. I've lost 9 lbs in 13 days. But it was 8 lbs in 7 days, and the last lb has been up and down. Overall, I'm happy, but it's hard not to have a smidgen of disappointment.

What is NUT? I've also had a stall. I lost about 27 pounds in the first 2 weeks and only 3.5 pounds in the last week and a half. This is very discouraging to me. I feel like I eat almost nothing every day but the pounds aren't coming off as quickly as I'd like them to!

NUT is nutritionist

I had lost about 31 pounds when I came out of hospital on 9th August, i lost about another 4 in the following week but nothing since.i feel really disappointed. I expected more and keep thinking is this it - all this suffering and expense for this! Please god tell me it gets better!!!

[2anewdiva 18]

I experienced the same thing. I was sleeved 7/12. Stall lasted 2 weeks but I'm finally losing again. I know it's hard not to become disappointed but u will come out of the stall. Just evaluate your diet plan and drink more Water. U got this.

[TammyA 77]

Ok, this morning I made scrambled eggs with some lean turkey and black pepper. I very carefully weighed out 2.5 ounces and my son ate the rest. i'm going to be super careful to weigh everything today and drink Water all day...I need that scale to move. I'm tired of seeing 297-298...
