Hello,

Would you be able to advise me on my weight plateau please?

I am now 5 weeks post op and feeling great... I have lost 24lb, but this was in the first 2 and a bit weeks... since then I have not lost an ounce and I am starting to feel a little down... from what I have read this seems fairly common and I have also read that the weight will start to come off again... Am I just being impatient?

Obviously, I understand that I won't lose weight at that speed but I would like to see a steady decrease over the weeks.

I spoke to my nurse and she just repeated the post op advice of three meals a day, no more no less and that I have 100gms of Protein...

I am not ready for full on exercise, but I do walk at the moment.

Any help would be really appreciated...

Thanks in advance

Hi Coops, not wanting to jump into your conversation, but I was at a plateau stand still for 3 1/2 MONTHS. . not weeks but months, . . it was really irratating, but i knew it would eventually budge and it did. . . i didn't do much different other then put away the scale and live my life like normal. . . . good luck, it's going to move eventually!
