four weeks post op weight loss plateau

Has anyone had this problem?  Been stuck at same weight since I began eating solid foods.  Very frustrated.  Eating shake for breakfast, protein for lunch and "normal" very small dinner.

It's frustrating but yeah it's a pretty typical time... your body is just realizing you are not giving it the typical amount of fuel and so it tries to hold on to the stores it has for dear life. It won't last and the scale will kick in again. Think of your weight loss like a staircase with a bunch of landings... the landings are weeks with no scale # drop (often you are losing inches versus pounds as the weight shifts, so measure and take pics) but there will be a bunch of these pauses as you are in the losing phase. Generally stalls last 2-4 weeks if it was longer I'd have a chat with your bariatric team but usually you'll soon see a swoosh in scale #'s again. Keep making the best choices each day, following your plan, creating a new lifestyle you can sustain for the rest of your life. 

Best to you!

Totally normal, like Shelly said. Follow your plan, and things will work out fine.

This happens often.....just know that stalls occur and keep working on the program you've been given. Up your water and exercise and you will pull out of it quickly.

To reassure yourself, use the search function and read the literally hundreds of lists asking this. ,

Use the search function (magnifying glass) and search "week three stall". You will find literally hundreds of posts about it (someone posts about it at least once every week).

Happens to many, many of us. It will pass.
