I have been at the same weight for three weeks. I am eating right and exercising like crazy every day. Is this normal. Had surgery in December 2012.

Sorry, but yes. My doc keeps telling me plateaus are a normal part of the journey. The important things is to keep doing what you are suppose to and in time the pleateau will break and you continue to go down.

Good luck. I have been bouncing for 2 and a half months between 195 and 190 - totally sucks.

Thanks Kim, It helps to know this is normal and I am not alone. Chat room suggested changing up calories for a day so my body doesnt think its starving. Going to try that.

3 weeks is nothing. I lost 12 lbs the first 2 weeks and then nothing for the next 3.5 months. Here's one reason why:

Sometimes when you plateau it is because your body has to catch up to the weight loss. I just came off a three week plateau and even though I did not lose my body looks totally different.

Don't feel bad, I've been at a plateau for a month. We'll get through this, just don't let it get you discouraged.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
