OMG! Thank u for your post!! I never heard of the 2-3 weeks Post-Op weightloss stall. I thought something was wrong with me! Whew! I lost 18 lbs, and have not lost anymore weight in the past week. So, I went back to the gym today to see if I could break this plateau. I definitely thought to myself THIS IS WAYYY TO SOON TO STALL. But now that I read that it is more common that I thought, I feel so much better.

Good luck to all of you...

Hi 3/17ers!!!!....  We are 3 weeks, 2 days out...can you believe it?  Almost one month!!!!

Up until the day before yesterday the area just to the left of my belly button was so painful---ripping, tearing, burning....horrible!!! I could barely get up/down...ouch!  I was taking my pain meds and, still, horrible, BUT the day before yesterday was a complete turn-around.....I felt so much better & now I don't feel that pain at all. There is a tee-tiny bit of soreness in that area, but it's really nothing.  I had a burst of energy the past two days & got a ton done around the house & yard, but, today, slowed down a bit.  I did manage to take a bike ride w/my 6 year old, so that was fun. 

My weight had stalled the past three days, but today I lost a pound, so that was a relief. I guess I was getting spoiled seeing the scale go down so much right after the surgery....I seem, lately, to stay the same for 2-3 days & then drop a pound.  I did a two day pre-op diet (including that I am down 31.2 pounds), but, since the day of surgery, I am down 28....I am fine w/that. I am just focusing on staying w/the program. I am getting all my protein in & my water....today will be one of the first days I have been able to get all my supplements in....that seems to be the hardest since we can't take the multivitamin & the calcium w/in two hours of each other & we need the multi 2x/day & the calcium 3xs/day....it takes some figuring out to get it all in!

Congrats to everyone on their great success!!!! We are going to have a great summer!!! Get ready for those bikinis, ladies...;)!!!!! xo, Micheala.

Me too! I am 2 weeks out. I haven't lost any since the 4th day post op. I went to see my doc today and he reminded me that the first 30 was water. He said fat comes off much slower and to expect an average of 2-3 pounds per week. If I look at it that way then by the end of the summer I will have lost about 80 pounds. That's something to look forward to.

OMG, you read my mind!!!  I was wondering what was going on with me.  I lost like 27 lbs the first 3 weeks, and then nothing!!  I thought i was eating too much, but I dont know what is happening.  i thought it was too early to plateu, so ???  I noticed the scale even went up a few lbs one day and the next it was back down a couple lbs.  what is going on???  I hope i get back on the losing track real soon!!! 

He'll take them off and you'll feel relief! lol
Good luck and let us know how you did!
