Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Ok I am 3 weeks post op and I have lost 26 lbs (according to the doctors scale). Now I have been at a stand still for a week now. Has anyone else noticed this problem. Is this one of the many Weight Loss Plateaus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Yes, I did the same thing at about the same time. I believe it's our bodies adjusting. As long as you are getting your protein and drinking enough water you'll start dropping pounds again. Hang in there.

I'm also 3 weeks out and lost 25 and my plateau has been for 1 week too. It's really ticking me off. I get weighed this Thursday and I'll ask whats going on.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Same thing for me at the 3-week post-op mark. Had lost 18.7 pounds by my surgeon's scale (25 on mine), then stalled for 2 weeks; overnight dropped 5 lbs on my scale. That's been the " norm " for me ever since. I'll drop to the next 5lb mark, stay steady for 10-14 days, then start fluctuating down 1-3 lbs for a couple of days, before dropping to the next 5 lb mark! I'm almost 12 weeks out and have lost 45 lbs (and 4 dress sizes)! My PCP says that she's happy with my rate, as I'm less likely to develop, the sagging, excessing skin folds...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 This is really funny--i, also, am about 3 1/2 weeks post op and have lost about 25lbs.-30 lbs. (not sure exactly, as i was weighed the day before surgery then pigged out that night as a last " harrah " , and wasn't weighed again, also, my scale isn't that accurate). But i was frustrated that i was at 246lbs. for about 3 or 4 days, now today i am about 243. So i think its just a normal plateau having to do with your body getting used to the menu we're on now.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Alison, I spent every other month on a plateau. I don't think you need to worry. At 7months out, I'm down 80+lbs and only about 25 - 30lbs from goal.
