The scale is not moving!

Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since my Rouen y surgery. I've lost 22 pounds and feel fabulous about it BUT that was in the first two weeks. The scale has not moved since!! What am I doing wrong?????

The best advice I can give it to exercise. It really works!

Yes, I have experienced the same thing. Make sure to get all your Water (64oz) and get in lots of Protein and exercise.

That happened to me. Huge weight loss when I went back for my first visit and then nothing for a couple weeks. Many people refer to a 3 week stall. However, mine started the second week. Either way, if you are getting in your Protein and Water things are happening. You will see weight loss. I don't know all of the scientific reasons why the body holds on to weight like it does and then suddenly releases it. Truth be told, I am not sure the doctors fully understand it either. LOL! Anyway, focus on the Water and Protein and avoid the scales for a few days and then go back to them. They will start moving in the right direction. Good luck!

jencooper we are twins! I am 4 weeks post RNY - lost 20 lbs by the 2nd week but nothing since and I am 4 weeks out as of yesterday. Its really frustrating. I just hope when the body releases the weight it releases 10 lbs at a time. How long does this "stall" typically last? Isnt this too soon to stall?

[jencooper 2]

I appreciate all the feedback. I was thinking I was doing something wrong. I know I will have stalls but I thought this was too soon????

I hit an unbelievable stall at about 3 weeks, it seemed like I was eating nothing, but the scale would not move. I stopped watching the scale, worked really hard a getting in my water/protein and after almost 3 weeks the numbers started going down. I am now 14 weeks post op and down 65 lbs. my only advice is stop watching the scale and get in those liquids, it works, it really works.

I guess we are all in the same boat...I am also 4 weeks post op and dealing with a stall as well...I was also thinking the same thing, that this was to early to be dealing with a stall...but now I see it fooled me....But I am reading and listening to others about getting my Proteins in, my Water and upping my exercise...Hopefully we all will be out of this stall very soon.. I wish everyone the best...
