Need Help!

Had my gastric bypass done February 28th. I've lost 25lbs so far. But this week I've only lost 1lb and I don't know why? I'm staying within the 600 calorie a day yet I'm not loosing anything. And this whole week I've been feeling hungry all the time! I know some of it could be related to head hunger but still, there's no reason why I shouldnt be loosing weight and feeling hungry this early on . I'm freaking out thinking that I have already screwed up and stretched out my pouch or something. Any advice would be great!! Thanks!

I had mine on the 20th of February and when I hit that amount lost I also hit a small plateau like you. Don't be discouraged. It's easy to forget the pounds won't melt off like they had been. I know I felt depressed the day I jumped on the scale and it didn't even look like I had lost anything. Give it a few days and you'll start seeing it come off again.

I had my surgery 01/11/12 and I have hit many plateaus and reminded the exact same weight for 2 weeks the dr explained that during those non loose weeks your body is loosing inches that is why it's so important to not just weigh yourself but to also measure your inches as well I measure my inches like once a month and the first month I had lost a total of 27 inches.

I have found that the weeks I have not lost weight it was sometimes because I did not get enough protein in. I also have hit a few plateaus along the way. I know it can be discouraging but keep up with your water and exercise along with eating right and before you know it the scale will show a loss.

Don't beat urself up...u are doing fine. I had the same thing happen to me n u will see the weight loss slow down a lot which only makes sense becuz u have about 12-18 months of weight loss after surgery...I have lost 90 pounds including my preop weight loss n I am 4 months out. And now I am glad that it is slowing down...u will be fine...everyone goes thru plateaus. :)
