Weight Loss Plateau

Hi, I had RNY 12 weeks ago, the last 3 weeks my weight loss slowed down dramatically. Is this normal? I have lost only 5 pounds over 3 weeks. I think I remember reading somewhere there is a plateau period and then things pick up again. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for the info!

Hi Claudine! Don't lose Hope or Faith! Plateaus are normal and remember, your body is going through a lot of metabolic changes and every once in a while the weight loss slows or stops as your body takes a breather from shedding its extra poundage. As someone who had lap RNY almost two years ago and experienced a few plateaus along the way, believe me... your weight loss journey will continue in due time! Dave K 317/178/178
