I'm 3 Weeks post op. I haven't loss any weight since week 2. I'm feeling down. What am I doing wrong?

first of all at this stage of the game and I guess for the rest of your journey patience is key. At 3 weeks your body is still adjusting to what it has been dealt. It is very likely you are in starvation mode where your body is going to hold onto its fat for dear life. Also how much protein are you getting in... max amounts will show greater weight loss. Also are you drinking your water and getting your vitamins and exercising. If you follow protocol the weight will come off you just have to have patience.

I'm getting 60 plus protein in and all my fluids. I am also taking my vitamins and even working out. Your probably right about my body being in starvation mode.

Ya I have so many stalls in the 8 months since I had surgery... It will all work out. 60 g at 3 weeks is pretty awesome!! Stay strong.

I had a few stalls & recently 5 weeks stall then bam lost weight! I was patience but was also mad so I understand. We just need to wait.

I just had 3 weeks of no weight loss and then 5 to 7 pounds by the 4th weeks. The body is a weird machine.

I know it slows down eventually but I just didn't think this early in the game it would.

It's slow but watch you will be shock when the scales moves & you drop 5lbs or more. I was stall then thinking only I'll lose 1pound wrong like 5lbs I lost I got on the scale 3 times to confirm. Lolz

We didn't gain all our weight in weeks or months. It took years even decades. It will come off I hear there are ups and downs. I'm only 12 post op but it seems like its a journey not a vacation. We will all get there as long as we stay strong and postitive and keep moving forward.

Shonabear, I am in the same boat this week. I told myself this morning, no scale for a couple days..... It's very irritating. But it is truly amazing how much I am turned away from so many foods now. I am however craving Chinese food. Lol......we will get there...

Im in the same situation as you both. Im 3 weeks out from surgery and have lost 10 #'s. The scales have not moved since the first post op visit. I started at the gym last night and hope that will give me a boost.

I DO feel the difference in the fit of my pants and bra though- so it seems something is going on.

Patience we will have to be.It helps knowing we are not alone in the journey.

Yes I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm going to try on some pants and see if I notice a difference. I've been wearing sweats since surgery.
