Recommended Posts

none at all or just this week? If the latter, you're having the dreaded "three week stall" that most of us have...

Sooo I’m 3 weeks post opp and no weight loss ... what’s the deal?! It’s this a real thing? Please tell me !

The three week stall is a real thing. Perhaps your holding onto Water weight? have you not lost anything?

Id be looking closely at every single thing you put in your body....

Your intake would be so low this early it's almost impossible to not lose weight....?

Not going to repeat above but Something is not balanced - Either you are holding Water or you are taking in to many calories?

Move a little more and change up your diet to break this little stall - I think you will find all of a sudden pounds are going to start falling off

So at my “2 week “follow up I was down ten pounds from my pre-op class 286... to then 274... now another week later according to my scale at home ... and I check it everyday habitually... I have been holding fast at 270 even. 1 I should clarify .... I’m not losing anything more than that . I read a lot of posts and some folks have lost like 40 pounds by now

40 lbs in three weeks? No - that would be extremely rare. The average WLS patient loses about 15-25 lbs in the first month. There are some exceptions, but again, those are rare. People that lose that much weight the first month are usually people who start off at something like 500+ lbs - like the people on "My 600 lb Life"

P.S. I started off at over 300 lbs and lost 16 lbs the first month, if that gives you any idea.

My average weight loss is 14 a month. My neighbor saw me for the first time yesterday and said Wow, you have lost a lot of weight, you look great! That made me feel great!

Everybody stalls in Week 3 or 4. It's normal. Don't sweat it. Don't be in a hurry, you just had the surgery. It'll happen.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
