Plateau Already?????

I had lap RNY on 1-15-04 and have lost 28.5 lbs, but have not lost anything in the last 5 days!!!! Has anyone else had a plateau this soon after surgery (3 weeks)??

I had surgery on 1/5/03 and I've been a week now without any weight loss. I'm drinking more water to see if it will help. I have noticed my clothes are still getting bigger on me so I know I'm loosing inches even if I'm not loosing pounds. I'm sure the scale will catch up at some point. Don't get discouraged -it will happen for us.

I had mine on 1/27 8 days ago, went 2 days at same weight, and no poopies, but the next day went poopies, and boom lost 2 more lbs. So have you gone potty? maybe that is the problem.

Renae consider yourself lucky. After spending 5 days in the hospital (I had an open RNY on 1/15/04) and two more days drinking nothing but clear liquids, I GAINED 3 lbs!!! I couldn't believe it!! The nurse at my surgeon's office said that it's quite common but I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else. Since then, I've only lost about 6 lbs, the 3 I gained and only 3 more. I would love to lose 28.5 lbs!! Take it easy on yourself. When was the last time you lost so much weight in such a short amount of time?? It will take your body awhile to catch up. I've heard alot of people who have 1 week plateaus then they're losing again. Good luck and take care! tyler
