I am 4 weeks today and lost.....26lbs since surgery...but the last week I have been stuck!! No weight loss. After 2 weeks I moved out to eating more softer and solid foods and it seems like since then...nothing!! Almost want to go back to liquids lol.....kind of discouraging.

I am four months out on the 12th of May, I have found that right from the begining of my post op I will plateau, then lose, plateau, then lose, I have lost 70 lbs. post surgery so give it some time. Also, once you have the okay ,exercise...!!!! They encouraged walking almost from the get go for me. You need to be eating in order to have something to burn....so I think you are doing right in that regard. Good luck !!

Don't worry, it will come off. Everyone plateaus at around 3 weeks. I did for around 2 weeks, then the losing started again. Your body is just adjusting to getting fewer calories, it needs time to settle in and get comfy with the new lifestyle. It will happen, trust me.

Try not to weigh yourself so often.. I only weighed in at doctor appts for the first 3 months, so I had no idea if I hit a Plateau or not..

I will be 1 year out the 20th and I remember hitting my first plateau around that time. You will go through several plateau's, I just came off one and then lost a couple more pounds. Just get in your protein, liquids and exercise and you will continue to lose weight.

It's normal girl I did the same thing I am 7 weeks out. As soon as I stepped up my exercise it started to come off. Don't worry it will come off :)

welcome to post-op...that's all I can say...we all see it...and then they move on,,,then they come back...and the cycle continues.

deleted_user 05/10/2011

I've thought about going back on the liquids too. I find it very difficult to get all of the protein in I'm supposed to as well as all the liquid and feel that's the reason for my plateau.

I'm hearing the same tho...everyone hits a plateau then the weight comes off.

Good luck to everyone!
