4 weeks out and not losing weight

[alemapsept15 7]

I am very concerned. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks out from my bypass surgery. I have only lost 11 pounds since my surgery. I had a week long hospital stay and gained 6 pounds in the hospital, and I've lost that too. I am getting bummed out and am wondering how this is even possible that I'm not losing weight while eating right around 500 calories or less and drinking tons of Water. Anyone had this happen? And what did you do?

happens to almost everyone - a stall within the first month of surgery. Search "three week stall" (that's what we call it, since it usually (although not always) occurs during week 3 post-surgery)

Goodness folks. These are not stalls. Stalls are considered stalls when the actually LAST three weeks!

Give your body the opportunity to heal, get used to its new way of living and digesting, utilizing the fuel you give it- it will.

Your job, at this point, is to eat to live, based upon the nutritional regimen your team gave you, and to get up and be active. That's it. That's ALL YOU NEED TO DO. It really IS THAT SIMPLE.

Keep off the scale. Seriously. Step away. If you are finding yourself upset, questioning or discouraged- leave it alone. Follow your plan and it will work.

When the scale does not move for 3 weeks- you're in a true stall. The rest is simply your body regrouping for changes.
