The Dreaded Plateau

[doobie31 178]

Had Surgery on June 21. Lost a total of 88 lbs since pre-op (61 since surgery). It's been so much easier than I feared. No complications whatsoever. Everything is going great. But I've hit a plateau. I am at the same weight now that I was 3 weeks ago. Really the first plateau I've had. I've read enough to know they happen and it's not a reason to panic. I did have a 10 day vacation in there when I didn't track at all though I'm confident I ate well. But other than that and another short vacation, I've tracked every single day since surgery. So I'm not panicking. I know I'm eating right and the weight loss will return. And I'll be very happy when it does. Until then, I'm not panicking ... really, I'm not. Really. 😂

LOL, don't worry. Your body will adjust. It will start again. LOL really. I am at the point the loss is so slow. But I get on the scale, and there is another pound gone...

its just a stall. You will get thru it. I was on a month long stall and i am only 6 months post op. scale only moved a few lb the entire month. it is annoying

Yep, definitely a stall. I get them a lot. Literally every time I drop more than 5 or 6 pounds in a 2 week period, my body freaks out for 1-3 weeks. It's ANNOYING. Makes things frustrating and very sloooow.
