I have heard about plateaus. When do they happen and how long do they last?

Do WLS patients plateau as early as 2 months post -op? What is your experience with these things? I'm feeling worried that I am not normal with my weight loss and I fear failure. I want to hear about experiences from people further down the path. Thanks! Elizabeth

Yes I've had this Plateauing from time to time but realize ot's from Eatting wrongly. But I use the following and get right back on track. WLS Plateau Buster Do This For 10 Days To Break A Plateau # 1 - Drink at least 64 oz. of water a day, as close to 128 oz. if possible. # 2 - You must have 45 grams of protein supplement and all your vitamin & mineral supplements each day. # 3 - You may consume up to 3 oz. of the following high-protein foods, 5 times a day: a.beef, b.pork, c.chicken, d.turkey, e.lamb, f.fish, g.eggs, h.low-fat cheese i.cottage cheese, j.. plain yogurt (or artificially sweetened), k.peanut butter, l.beans/legumes. # 4 - You may also have: a.sugar-free popsicles (avoid juice popsicles), b.tea or coffee, c.sugar-free Jello, d.broths & bouillons, e.Crystal Lite drinks (Walmart's Brand is the same but cheaper). # 5 - IF IT IS NOT ON THE LIST YOU MAY NOT HAVE IT! # 6 - Keep a food diary and try to get 30 minutes of exercise daily.

Hello, Yes I had about a 2 week stall around Christmas, I was 1 month post op. I am averaging about a 2 pound a week loss right now, sometimes I will not loose anything for a week. It's true I mostly stall when I'm not eating right or drinking enough. Thats Important.

Just like Michael said. And I believe in going back to basic and REALIGNING myself. Hope this makes sense. Liz future Florida resident
