This is called the 4 week stall...sometimes it happens at 2 weeks or 3 or 6 etc. It is your body readjusting to surgery and weight loss. Focus on your inches lost not lbs. Do not become discouraged, I know its hard not too. After surgery I was happily losing a LB a day until week 2.5 and it stopped I even gained .5 of a lb. then it broke and i began to lose again. Check to make sure your getting enough Protein and Water if you are you need to let your body do its job.. You will begin to lose again. : )

Me too! I've only lost 4 kilos since surgery 2.5 wks ago. I even put on! Argh! But soooo happy to read this and the response, thanks girls :) We will conquer this! I've lost 10kgs in total (22lb) since pre op, so I'm happy but it is disconcerting to read about some who are dropping heaps when you are stalled so early! So thanks again, and good luck!

I must be at a stall too! I am 2 weeks post op and all of a sudden my scale has said the same thing the last 3 days! I told myself this morning that I wasn't going to get on the scale everyday because I'll just drive myself batty! I am glad to hear that there is a bit of a stall because it's discouraging to see the scale move EVERY day then all of a sudden nothing. :/

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
