I am almost 3wks post op and for some reason this week the weight is not going down!!! ???????????? is this normal? I am following all the directions from the doctor. On the puréed stage!

I started at 251lbs

Sw:240 lbs

Cw:231 lbs

Yes, Its completely normal. Some weeks you will lose, some not. All normal. Your body is making an enormous adjustment from surgery, it is usually trying to figure out if it's being starved or not. It can hold onto the fat until its sure its getting all the proteins and water, etc that it need to stay healthy. I found that if I kept a daily diary of food, water, weight etc I was happier with my weight loss monthly, as some people stress over their weight loss daily or weekly. Good luck !!

Thank you!! I am trying my best, I am walking, drinking my fluids and protein shakes. Also my puréed and snacks are high in proteins... Let's see I am excited to see the results

Most everyone has the 204 week plateau and most of us don't lose weight till we get that one fill that gives us the restriction/satiety to eat less. Here's a great explanation about the plateau:

That is great to know will look into my daily log to see the food intake and exercise! Thank you!

if you are losing inches aka smaller clothes or clothes becoming baggy, then you are osing no matter what the scale says...please dont judge your overall success on a scale...eat great, drink and exercise......seems to me you are doing great....

Thanks for the advise Carolinagirl!! Every topic is so helpful here!! ????????
