weight halted???

Has any else one here ever had a week with losing?I am 8 weeks post op

If you mean have you ever had a week without losing the answer is yes some people have. It is called a plateau. If you drink more water or get more protein in you can break it.

I am almost 6 weeks out and I was stuck for over 2 weeks! Checked today......I had lost 5 lbs. Like Jack said, up the protein! I was really about to panic. I feel better now and have lost 25 lbs. since open RNY 10/6/03.

Greg, you are probably doing fine. Sometimes your body says, "Whoa, wait just a minute here - I don't want to lose all my lovely fat.", especially in the beginning when the weight is falling off pretty rapidly. You may stop for a short time and then start losing again; that's normal for many people. Some lose continuously, some in "fits and starts". Now, I'm on a real plateau - I'm a year out and haven't lost anything significant since May! (I have been building muscle since the beginning of August when I started doing a weight circuit at a local fitness center, in additional to walking an hour nearly every day, so maybe muscle is replacing some of the fat. At least I hope so!) Just keep doing what you are supposed to, and the weight will come off. Sue
