Stuck at 32lbs lost at 3 weeks post op

Im 2.5 weeks out and have lost 23lbs as of this morn. I have seen a slow down this week though. I think we lose a ton of water weight early on then slows..

Hi! I'm 9 days out and down 21 pounds. I agree, it comes off really fast the first few days, then slows down. Hang in there, I'm sure it will pick up again!

I am 3 weeks out and have lost post op 15 lbs. Sounds like you are doing great. Don't get discouraged. It is just your body adjusting to that rapid of loss. 32 lbs in 3 weeks. I'll do the happy dance for you!!

I too feel the same way.. I had my surgery 2/5 and to date I have only lost 36 lbs.. 28 in my first two weeks... but I hear this is what usually happens..

You are all doing amazing! Remember that the more you have to lose the faster the pounds come off. Make sense? I'm a little over 4 weeks out and have lost 32 lbs total. That's 22 since surgery. My NUT says I'm right on track. I've figured out that I've already lost 1/3 of what I was hoping to lose in a month! As I've heard everyone hits a stall around 3 weeks, it's very normal. You'll have 5-7 days with no loss and then drop 5 lbs. Don't worry you'll get there! It seems slow, but when have you ever lost this much in such a short amount of time? Keep up the great work and keep your spirits up! A great attitude is everything! Shanna www.GourmetSoyOnline.com

As of yesterday 8 days postop I lost 15 pounds. The Dr. said don't be surprised if it slows down. We didn't gain overnight did we. It's probably better to take it off slow. Are you taking in your protein and water? Cindy

I had my surgery 2/14. The 1st week I lost 11lbs, the 2nd I lost 17lbs. I don't go back to the doctor until the 19th of this mnth. So I don't know if it's the same or what. LOL

You all are doing great!!! My lap RNY was 2/27 and I haven't weighed. I don't own a scale and don't plan to buy one. I'll wait and be surprised at my 3 week check up.

I am so glad I read this! I am at 3 weeks and stuck at 27lbs lost I've increased my walking to twice a day and drinking more fluids which I noticed has increased my appetite I had lap bad and I'm supposed to eat 3 meals a day and 2 protien shakes but by 11pm I'm hungry again, like really hungry and I have to eat a little something or I feel sick I'm also diabetic, could that be it?

YAY Great job I so needed to read this thread. I had surgery Feb 9th and in 4 wks lost 40 lbs and then stalled. Im still stalled and its been lil over a week. I just stopped having pain and I really really want to start working out but Im so dang tired Im lucky if I workout in my dreams even lol Keep up the great work. I love this place. Its a great support system. Thank you all! Corrina/Rinna
