That is normal, how much did you expect to lose in 3 weeks? The first month involves a lot of adjusting. Search around this sight, you will see at least 30 recent threads about slow or stalled weight loss.

10 pounds in 3 weeks after major surgery is good.

This is pretty typical weightloss. perhaps talk to your surgeon and nutritionist about what your expectations are

I completely understand the thought process here. You've gone through major surgery, and have completely changed your eating habits. You want results, and you want them NOW.

Bodies are silly, tricky things. Your body doesn't know that you've CHOSEN to have this surgery. All it knows is you fell asleep and some STUFF WENT DOWN. Your body is throwing everything it has into healing, and losing weight is NOT what it's thinking about right now.

When I came home from the hospital, I was actually 10 pounds heavier than when I went in. Losing 10 pounds in 3 weeks is normal, healthy, and a great accomplishment! We are not living in a Woman's Day headline where you can lose 25 lbs in 14 days.

Be gentle with yourself and trust the process. You WILL lose weight, you CAN do this!!

10 pounds in 3 weeks is good. You're probably going to hit a stall in Week 4. Most people do. It's normal. Don't worry about it. Just keep doing the right things.

I'm 9 weeks out. I went through a 4 week period and I lost nothing. Im back on track and have lost 5 pounds.

Hang in there!
