No weight loss during week 3 post op. Is this normal?
I am feeling kind of discouraged here. The first 2 weeks after the RNY and I lost 22 1/2 lbs. Then I am put on soft foods (normal foods) and still only 2 ozs and NO weight loss for that week. Is that normal to have a whole week stall of no weight loss even though you are eating like a bird? Discouraged, Becky
Normal? Absolutely...The biggest and baddest plateaus often start around 20-25 lbs lost - usually around week 3 or 4...Your body has been shedding weight like crazy and it sort of says "what the heck is going on here?" ...metabolism slows down to conserve energy - kind of a feast or famine evolutionary trait...Fear not though, although it is discouraging, it will only be temporary. Hang in there...
