Seriously freaking out!

[SarahBeth 11]

I am three weeks post-op & I am freaking out a little bit. I went to my surgeon's office a week ago & had lost a total of 30lbs, but I weighed myself today (a week later) AND I HAVEN'T LOST ANY WEIGHT! OMG!? What is going on? Is this normal!? I guess 30lbs in 3 weeks is good, but I just wasn't expecting to not lose weight this early on! PLEASE someone else tell me this happened to them & I am normal. I am seriously so down on myself right now. Am I doing something wrong????????? Am I going to be able to succeed...or is this just ANOTHER failure. AH!

Normal. I had my first stall 2 weeks post op, and it lasted over 2 weeks. Just keep working the rules.

Agreed...this is a major shock to the system, do what you're supposed to and you WILL lose weight.

Your scale is broken! Do your self a favor and get rid of the scale or hide it. Let it be a big surprize each moth you go for the official weigh in. Just a thought. Good luck in your in your weight loss adventure.

Totally normal, Remember your body just went through a major surgery so your body is in shock. Trust me, give it time and keep following your eating plan and start walking!! This happened to me too and I actually got depressed right after my surgery, almost regretting it because I wasn't losing fast enough and now 9 months post op I'm down -124lbs! It will be melting off of you dear in a matter of time!

Welcome to the stall!! It sucks but it'll move. Best suggestion is to up your Protein and your exercise. I usually have a three day cycle of not losing anything and the I'll lose for 2-3 days. It's strange but as long as it keeps coming off I'm fine with it.

I have good news and bad news!

Good news - you are 100% normal, and this will pass. Your body is just throwing a temper tantrum to what you just did to it.

Good news - you drop more inches when you go through a stall - so smaller sizes here you come!

Bad news - this will happen many many times during this journey.

My advise - don't get caught up in numbers - they are just that numbers. Do you feel better? Look better? Could you have done this well without surgery? Find another way to measure you success. i measured it by being able to see my toes in the shower. before surgery they had disappeared. Now i can see half of my foot!

Finally in about two or three months someone will post on here about a stall just like you did. Smile and reflect that it will all work out! ????
