I’m 3 weeks post op and I’ve lost 13 pounds. I thought it would be more. We’re about the same weight so I think those that weighed more lose more weight at first. You’ve lost 20 pounds in 5 weeks so averaging 4 pounds a week, that’s awesome! How long have you been stalled?
i know we’re told not to weight ourselves every day but of course, I’m stubborn so I do. I don’t lose weight every day. I lose a pound or two every 3-4 days. It’s not what I wanted, but it’s working. Just stay your course. Keep an eye on your protein and water intake and make sure you’re getting those daily.
can you switch up what you’re eating for soft foods? For me, a lot of things I try are making me sick so I’m sticking to eggs and beans right now along with my protein shakes.

Thanks guys, am so glad am not alone on this, I guess there Is' still hope for me, have been stalled for 3weeks now, I just need the scale to shift a little so that I don't get to discouraged, ve increased my exercise and intake of water maybe that might help too

I am in the same boat. Yesterday made 1 month post op for me and the scale has not moved since week 3...I am getting very discouraged and trying hard not to cry! ????
