So I'm four weeks post op and the first three weeks I lost 30lbs! And this past week I have not lost one single pound I'm starting to get really discouraged. Is this normal?

Yes, unfortunately, this is normal. We all have stalls. Your body is confused right now and needs time to catch up to what is happening. Plus, you are probably still getting thinner, it's just not showing up on the scale.

This is the time to really make sure you are doing everything right:

-- keep a daily food journal (VERY important!)

-- eat Protein every couple of hours

-- drink a LOT of Water

-- stop drinking water 30 minutes before a meal, don't drink anything DURING your meal, start drinking water again 30 minutes AFTER your meal

-- CHEW, CHEW, CHEW

-- exercise

-- stop weighing yourself every day

I'm sure there are other things but these are a few of the things to remember.

Don't worry you will start losing soon everyone is different but

you will see result I had my BP in March and have lost

about 60. Don't weight yourself everyday makes it harder but she is right

Chew drink and walk walk walk you will soon see the result

Best of luck to you

I haven't had my surgery yet but from what I read here it is very normal. Stay the course it will break. It's your body's way of catching up.

Thank you much! You all made me feel a lot better. I'm just going to keep my eye on the prize and do what I have to do but I appreciate you all taking the time out for the support
