I had surgery April 1st and tomorrow will be my 4th week. I lost weight the 1st and 2nd week (17 pounds so far) but the third week nothing. Is there something I am doing wrong? I know when I stepped on the scale and didn't see it move I wanted to cry.

This happens to a lot of us. I'm going through it too. I'm just trying to focus on healing and feeling better. The weight loss will come! Hang in there!!

I heard it happens alot

It happens between 3-4 weeks post op and can last 2 weeks. Happens to about 99% of us

Thanks for the info.. I thought I was doing something wrong.

I am almost 6 months post op and it has happened to me several times through out. I find if I change up what I am eating and increase my protein it gives me a jump start and I start losing again. Make sure you are getting enough calories. Don't let your body go into starvation mode. Good luck!!!

In the first year you will lose no matter what you do. Im sure its just the first of many stalls.

The weight comes off sooner or later. Always remember we put on weight over the years so over night we won't become slim.

I had my surgery on March 7th of this year. I weighed 205 pounds. I did not weigh myself at all until I went for my appointment on March 25th. I weighed in at 183. I weighed myself the following week and did not lose anything. The following week after that, I went down to 173 pounds. The next week, I lost nothing and the following week I lost 3 pounds. It can be nerve wrecking..
