I'm 4 weeks post op. I did not lose any weight week 3. Now week 4 it's going down again. Have faith!

I am going through the same thing. I am 3 weeks post-op and I have not lost any weight in over a week. It's getting very frustrating. I have sought answers in this forum and they are calling it the 3-4 week stall. I am still in the middle of it, so I have not passed through it yet. But others are telling me that it is temporary and that the weight loss will continue after this hurdle. Hold on and we'll get there!

I am 2 wks out and gained 1/2 pound this morning. I know I am due to start my period in 4 days, so pretty sure that's where the extra weight is coming from. I have only lost 12 lbs is this normal?

I think our periods will in fact effect our weight. I usually gain 2 or 3 pounds during my period anyway. I also was on my period this week. So the fact that I haven't lost any for a week I think is part of it too. I called my WL nutritionist and they really urged me to drink the two protein shakes a day. I gotta get better about that.

Thank you ladies :)

I'm 2 weeks out tomorrow and have lost 11 lbs total. I would say it's pretty normal at this point.

I am two weeks out and my weight-loss stopped also. I lost 20 pounds the first two weeks and now it has been four days and the scale has not moved except this morning I gained 1 pound. I know it's not from eating, Because I have not gone over 400 cal per day. I'm glad to hear that others are having the same experience and I'm anxious to get through this stall.

My Weight Loss Nutritionist said that drinking the 2 protein drinks a day should also help us get past this hurdle AND to not forget about the water too.
