stoped losing weight

I was losing good at first, but I have not lost even a pound in over a week. Even though most of the time I'm getting sick. I am about 6 weeks post op.

Don't get discouraged PLEASE! I quit loosing too for about a week or so. Then bam! I started loosing again. It's not a plateau until you've quit loosing for a month or more. You're probably just loosing INCHES.

Kim, I hear you!!! I'm 8wks out and haven't lost in a week or two. Its so frustrating. I think is this all I'm going to lose and if so was it worth it!!! You aren't eating anything but you don't lose. I thought it was just me but I guess not. Laura

Kim Hang in there. I stoped losing after 3 weeks and didnt lose again till 7 weeks.. Make sure you eat 6 small meals aday. You have to consistanly give you body something to burn or it will shut down.... so eat to lose

i was the same last week i havent weighed in this week yet... but last week i lost 1lb but i lost 8 inches... as far as the eating thing my dietician told me to eat only the 3 meals a day

Every surgeon is different . My doctor said to eat 6 small meals , or 3 shakes & small meals . Whichever way I get in enough protein . I have had a couple of standstills , too . That's why I don't own a scale . Several years ago my bile duct got blocked by a stone . At first they thought I had hepatitis . I was turning really yellow . The sicker I got the less I could eat . It took them about 2 months until they did a procedure to fix it . I thought for sure I would have lost a mountain of weight . I only lost 8 pounds in two months , with barely any food . Your body goes into starvation mode & doesn't want to let go . Kathy

I'm in the same boat you are in. I'm nearing the end of my 7th week and so far I have only lost 1 lb. this week. When you're use to losing an avg of 6 lbs. per week, this is quite a shock! However, I did start back to the gym this week and I'm able to eat and drink more now. Maybe our bodies are just freaking out. I've got a broke foot, otherwise my butt would be hitting the pavement about now! Just hang in there. That's what I keep telling myself! It's hard though, especially when you're asked every week how much you've lost. Take care, Donna
