3 weeks post op

14 pounds in 3 weeks. I haven't lost any more I've even gained a pound or two and then lost it again. Why am I not losing?

That is a good amount of weight in 3 weeks. You might have entered your first (not your last) stall. I lost 15 pounds by 3 weeks as well. Then I hit my first stall. It lasted a week, and then I started losing again. I am only down 38 pounds in 8 weeks after going through 2 stalls at 3 and 6 weeks. No problem with that as I dropped 25 pounds during my 2 week pre-op diet. I have also been lifting weights for the last 3 weeks, and feel that my body is responding.

There are several people in this forum that lost more than 40 pounds their first month post-op, but they might have had a lot more weight and/or fat to lose than I did.

Anyway, don't rush it. Your body will lose the weight at its own speed. Anyone other than a WLS patient would be ecstatic to lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks. Stick to your plan, and you will be successful.
