Help!

I had RNY on June 20th.  I am not sure if I could be at a plateau already?  I have been stuck at 215 for the past week.  I didn't think I would be stuck this soon after surgery.  I am exercising, drinking water and eating just as the Dr told me too.  I know that as long as I am doing the things that I was told to do I will lose weight...... It just seems like i am losing weight slower than others.

don't compare yourself to anyone else!!!!  I use to plateau ALL the time.  Just keep doing what you are supposed to do and the weight will come off.  I always found (and still find) it really helpful during a plateau to go back to keeping a food journal.  I often found I wasn't eating enough.  Seems crazy when compared to my old life.  Are you taking your vitamins?

I am doing everything the my dr's told me to do.  I am journaling on my fitness pal and taking my vitamins, I am just now able to get all of my water in.  I am also exercising.  I knew that hitting a plateau was inevitable I just didnt want it to happen so soon.

Thanks for the advice.  Everyone here is soo helpful.

The weight comes off in fits and starts.  I keep track of my weight in an excel spreadsheet & graph it.  And sure enough, it's full of tiny short-term plateaus.  But overall, I've lost 123 lbs and it just keeps coming off.  So dispare not!  And as someone else on here said, if you aren't losing pouds, you're probably losing inches. 

I knew that I would plateau at some point.  It is encouraging to know that others have gone throught the same things as I.  I am happy to say that I weighed this morning and I am down 2 lbs.  Hopefully the numbers on the scale will continue to go down.
