How Quickly Can You Plateau? Only 3 Weeks Out?!!!

[NatureLover888 23]

Hi folks,

I had my laparoscopic RNY on 12/29/17 and the weight starting fall off rapidly. I know I tend to carry a lot of Water weight and I lost quickly what seemed to be about 30 pounds from my surgery weight of 360. BUT...I've had very low appetite. Not going to lie, I've been a bit lazy about taking my Vitamins. I only drink one Protein Shake a day because my formerly beloved Premier Protein is too sweet and artificial tasting. I'm about to start on mushy foods so I am thinking I will go for Protein heavy choices like my favorite, Breakstone's 2% Cottage cheese (so creamy and tight curd, not slimy and a good flavor with a dash of salt and pepper on top!) and I guess soon I will be allowed to have hummus and refried Beans. I want to ease into these soft foods very slowly so I can maximize my weight loss. I don't FEEL like eating since I'm not hungry! Though I must say I do feel tired and sometimes dizzy when getting up to walk around. Have done some bed exercises and late night hall walking a few times. Need to increase this. I just feel bummed because I though the weight would continue pouring off quickly if I eat little. The scale said 334.8 today so looks like a stall already!!!

Having a little pause at three weeks is very common.

It's important to follow your nutritionists instructions and eat well. Eating too few calories can actually stop you from losing weight because your body will go into starvation mode and actually conserve every calorie.

Listen to your team and follow their instructions for the best results:) Good luck and best wishes.

I stalled out 4 weeks out after my surgery. At that point I was stuck after losing 30lbs. I’m getting over now using this tips:

1. Definitely take your Vitamins & meds!

2. If you are able to go to the gym, then go to the gym even if it’s just for simple & short cardio.

3. Try switching things up in your diet. Have a day or so where you aren’t as focused on Protein, but still avoid carbs.

4. Try a natural over the counter metabolism booster like capsaicin or cinnamon if your stomach can handle it. It may be just a placebo effect, but still worth a shot.

5. Don’t worry about stalling! The stress isn’t going to help you lose weight. Only get concerned if it been a while or you don’t feel well.

Hello All

I had my gastric bypass on 27th December 2017, lost on pre and post to date around 30 pounds and the weight stalled since 10 days😔. Reading from many this is a 3weeks stall and it’s normal as they say. But how to kick back the weight loss? What calories should be ur minimum? I am struggling in mushy food and I cannot take more than 4 table spoons. Would extra Water drinking help it?

Appreciate your advice
