Hey guys, I had my surgery exactly one month ago. The first 2 weeks I lost 22 pounds and then it just stopped. I'm on day 16 at the same weight. I get all my water and protein in and no results. I think my surgery is broken lol

Search for "week 3 stall" on these forums and you can read the thousands of other posts saying the exact same thing. Nearly EVERYONE goes through this.

Awesome, thanks

You are not alone! And your surgery isn't broken.

Hang in there and keep doing what you are doing.

I feel your pain! Apparently it's normal, I'm on my 4th week and it's stalling bad. I'm going up and down two pounds every day. I hope to see a drop again soon.

Here you go....

Congratulations! You have reached The Dreaded Week-3 Stall. It's perfectly normal, and just about all of us have suffered through it. You're not crazy, and your doctor didn't screw up. In fact, you might not lose any weight for two weeks or even longer. But don't worry – after that, the pounds will start falling off if you stick to your program. And, the inches will continue to come off even while the scale isn't budging. Here's a good article that explains why it happens and why we all have to go through it. Hang in there. Pretty soon it'll be in the rear-view mirror and you'll be dropping weight again!

(Apologies to BP regulars who have seen this repeatedly, but it's a big deal to those who are going through it!)

Thank you xx
