Not losing post op?

[judy vsg 126]

Hey all! I had my vsg 2 weeks ago and lost 15 lbs in the first 10 days or so. The past 3 days, however, i gained back one pound! Is this normal? I so much want to succeed! Any feedback is appreciated

It is absolutely normal. Just be sure you are sticking with your plan - getting in your Protein and Water and you'll lose! Stay strong!

You just had major surgery and are swollen and healing.

I highly recommend staying off the scale for a while.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience fluctuations, slow downs, and stalls.

Just about everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just focus on getting in n all of your Protein and fluids, and follow your program,

Embrace the Stall

once again you beat me to the punch

i was going to say what you said

oh well, doesn't matter who spreads the word

as long it gets out "there"

but ISG, next time let me talk first, ok? smirk, smirk!!

@

15 lbs down in 10 days is wonderful

but no way - can you keep that same weight loss monthly

gaining a lb here or there..............

don't fret, it will come off - and you will continue to lose

in the meantime - go to the corner drug store

buy a chill pill!! LOL

kathy

congrats

Thanks for the responses. The truth is, that if someone asked me this question, u would probably answer them the same way... But when it gets personal, its harder to see it in the same way... So thanks for putting me in my place????

Totally normal! It's the dreaded stall. I lost 11 lbs my first week...2nd week NOTHING. I WENT UP AND DOWN 1lb didn't lose until week 3... I'm almost to week 4 and down 21 lbs.
