I will be 3 weeks post op on Tuesday! In the first week I lost 17 pounds and my weight hasn’t really moved since then! I’m discouraged! Is this normal or could I be doing something wrong??

Totally normal! It does suck, however. Your body is taking a time out to adjust to all the changes and maybe to let you know its a little ticked off at all the abuse. Just dig deep and stick with your plan and in a few more days the scale will start moving again.

If you took your measurements pre-op, now's a good time to check them. They often change when you're in a stall. If you haven't taken measurements before, now is a good time to start. Losing inches helps keep your spirits up when you're in a stall. Good luck!

do a search for the "three week stall". You'll find hundreds of posts on it. Happens to almost everyone.

It's normal to stall around Week 3 or 4. It sucks, but it's normal. Your body is still adjusting to everything that's been done to it and to your transition from liquids to soft foods

Hey all. First time posting here. I am 3 weeks post op. Been sitting at the same weight for almost a week. I'm really glad to hear about other people stalling. I feel like with my PCOS, in combination with my age (turning 34 this month), I've got a few strikes against me.

Was anybody else taken off Metformin and then stalled? I feel like being taken off Metformin coincided with my weight loss stall. I've been more active this week than (obviously) the past few weeks, so I really am searching for answers.

I am turning 33 and having surgery May 20 and am very worried about it. I don't know why I think 33 is old or late in the game to have surgery. I keep telling myself that I have actually tried and been successful many times.

lots of us have had it in our 50s and 60s and have been very successful with it

I stalled on my second week , it’s really annoying , I kept looking at my book asking myself maybe I’m doing something wrong but I’m now on my third week and the scale is moving , everyone is different . My friend lost 50 lbs in a month and I’m on my third week with only 30 lbs down .
