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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
