Hey all, I am really down on myself today... I has gastric by pass on Dec 20th and I started at 321 and I am now 285 but I went to dr 2 weeks later and it says I am 287.... how the hell is that possible. I eat less than 700 calories a day and I stay active. And to top it all off my blood pressure was back up... 1 week after she took me off my meds :-( not having a good day

Yes. It's normal. Do a search for the "three week stall."

I feel same way! Trying not to be obsessed or bothered but it's hard. I went up .02 2 days ago and then EXACT same today. Just under 3 week mark. Ugh. I feel your pain.

it is normal to stall at about5 3 weeks. it takes time for your body to catch up. TRY to relax and just follow the water and protein rules. good luck to you

I hit a stall at the 2 1/2 week mark that lasted 20 days. It freaked me out so much but after that 20 days, the pounds started melting off again. I'm now 8 weeks out and have hit another stall. I just keep trying to remind myself that as long as I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, my body will eventually do what it's supposed to do. Good luck to you and just try to be patient (even though I know it's hard).

Good to hear, jenl8270, because I'm 8 weeks out and I've hit a stall and gained 1 pound from yesterday. I was freaked out this morning when I got on the scale.
