Little to no weightloss

I am so fed up.

I am 10 weeks post op.

I didn’t lose any weight in the first 3 weeks. Very odd as it was liquid only.

Between weeks 4-7 I lost just over a stone.

Since week 7, and I am now nearly 11 weeks post op, I haven’t even lost 1lb.

I am not drinking calories, I am sticking to the NHS guidelines and my dietician. No slider foods. High protein, low fat and hitting my fluid goals each day.

Literally feel like my last draw is gone.

I keep reading to trust to the process and I’ve carried on but weeks of no weightloss has no meant that I have started a water only diet, fasting as it seems my body will not lose weight if I put any food in my body.

I have never felt so depressed or let down. I could understand if I was eating he wrong things, or eating too much, too little.

Wondering if it’s hormonal and that’s the reason I’ve struggled for years with weightloss and gaining

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    one stone is 14 lbs. I don't know what your starting weight was, but 14 lbs actually isn't bad. you're probably in a stall now. They happen to most of us every so often along our journeys. T

    OK - breathe. Weight loss isn't linear. Everyone - *EVERYONE* hits stalls regularly. They are part of the journey. It seems to me from what you've said OP that you have lost 18lbs in 11 week

    I don’t intend to sound insensitive but you stated you haven’t cheated once and have followed your plan, and you lost close to 20lbs. Great job by the way anyone else would love to have that much loss

I agree with those telling you to stay off the scales. I went through this, and still have those weeks. I was getting very frustrated with the lack of scale movement but noticed my clothes were fitting differently.

I’m not good with consistently doing measurements so I just started measuring my progress by my clothes (fitting better or not fitting … getting to big).

Once I started to see that change was happening the scale movement mattered less to me.

I go through periods of scales stalls and then spurts of progress, but my body seems to be changing consistently - even in small ways.

Stick to your plan, the results will come.

I’m currently 9 months post op… I’ve lost 65 lbs since surgery (122 total). I still have a long way to go, but despite loosing slowly, I’m loosing consistently and my body is seeming to adjust well to the slower loss. I do have some loose skin but not nearly as much as I feared after loosing 122 pounds.
