Weight lost 5weeks post op

[LaWanda2 4]

5 weeks out. Was going good but have seemed to hit a slow stop. Is this normal? Haven't lost any weight in the last week. Scared I am doing something wrong.

I am with you. I am glad I found this group. I feel so unprepared now that I am 5 weeks in to this. Most people I talk with gloss over the real facts and questions I am asking. I am so lost and my family is trying but they do not know how to help. You are not alone and I look forward to everyone's advice on here. Thank you

Stalls happen along the way. Your body sometimes has to catch up with itself. I have hypothyroidism so my stalls are more frequent then the norm, but I literally have had so many I lost count. I'm actually in the middle of one right now that's lasted for 13 days so far. My last one was 15 days (my longest was 27 days) so I'm not worried, just irritated. Just keep with the plan and it'll pass.

Congratulations, you've hit your first stall. Perfectly normal. Don't panic. Most people hit it in Week 3 or 4. It'll take a couple of weeks to get moving again. Just keep doing what you're doing.

yep - it's that infamous first stall that pretty much all of us experience. Keep doing what you're doing and stay off the scale for a few days if you have to. It'll break and you'll be on your way again...
