What's going on?

VSG on 12/9/13. All went well. No real complaints. Lost 17 pounds the first 7 days, then nothing! Just the same half pound up and down. I'm drinking my Protein, eating some Soup, SF Jello, etc. I was doing 48 oz Water that first week, but kinda dropped back to about 32 oz Water lately. Could less water really have this effect? Would be nice to see some more loss, especially over the holidays, to make me feel more excited about this. Any suggestions? Thanks

I'm not sure why this is showing up as part of the Gastric Bypass section, but you indicate you had VSG, so I'm answering. :)The 3 week stall is completely normal after VSG (& I assume after any WLS procedure). One of the vets here, Butterthebean, even has this link about it included as part of his signature: http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html#.Ur8Z6_RDurk

Hope this helps!
