5-15 lb a week is average for the first few months. If you arent losing its between you and your team to figure out whats going on. Im not the food exercise or bm police thats their jobs lol

I have not had similar result but just wanted to pop in and wish you luck with struggle. Id think it might be surgery fluids or med related. We really dont know your cormobities or your intakes w carbs n things. I recommend leaning on team w nutritionist. Also bowels are they holding. Just speak to med team see what they got for you

I don't take meds, I don't have other health issues, carbs are around 20-30g. I'm going number 2 once a day. I'm having no issues

Going the other way - you are to new to this journey to be focusing on the scale moving

I have said this a million times The scale is going to put you in a rubber room with a jacket that buckles from the back.

During my journey someone here suggested i weigh myself on the first of every month, Record the progress also you will very quickly realize when you pants fall off that you are killing it. It will come so do not get discouraged if you stay on your plan.

Good luck and copy this post cuz in a year you will be posting for the next scale stalker

No, Im not focussing on the scale Im simply asking when others noticed their weight loss, as I feel a stall immediately after surgery doesn't seem to be very common.

I know this sound strange, but your body might not be getting enough calories to lose fat. How is your Protein intake?

You are doing great, and keep the faith - the journey works!

I'm getting 60-70g of Protein, Im taking all my Vitamins and getting between 60-80oz of Water a day. Im following my bariatric bible!

I am 4 weeks postop. I've been working out and hitting the gym..and of course eating right. The scale seem to be not favorable at this time. My weight loss is at a stall. My dietitian and surgeon said not to worry but I don't understand why is taking this long. I hope next month isn't as bad. I continue to work out 6 days of the week. My calorie intake is 500 to 600 a day...and even with that... I don't get it. I want to believe this shall pass and people seem to also agree that this is just a phase. Hope this helps..just stay positive and never give up.

Thank you for replying! Im glad Im not the only one. Im not working out, just doing casual walks that are long in duration. My surgical team suggests to wait on doing strenuous work outs because the low amount of calories we take in, if we burn more than we take in, we are putting bodies in starvation mode.

I hope next week you start seeing the scale move, its disheartening considering we've both spent a lot of time seeing results from other users and the weight has fallen off of them, starting right after surgery. We will get there, our bodies are just stubborn and holding us hostage.

Good luck with everything!

Hi everyone! I had my RNY surgery 2 weeks ago to this date and haven't experienced the scale budging but I've lost enough inches that I feel lighter and clothes fit better. From reading about surgery and results, it seems that people tend to lose weight and then stall out at week 3-6 (I know everyone is different!) I'm curious if there's anyone out there who lost no weight following surgery and continued to have favorable results down the road?

I understand that everyone's journey is different, I just don't want to feel alone in this. I know I'm still in the healing phase just want to talk to people who have had similar starts to this journey ❤️

Thanks
