Please help I had my RYN surgery 6 months ago not to lose any weight for two weeks
I had the duodenal switch Nov. 1, 2012. I hit many stalls along the way - my longest being a whole month. I found it helpful to only weigh myself once a month. It eases the anxiety of feeling the need to lose every week. Sometimes the body just needs a break from losing. As long as you're doing what you're supposed to do with vitamins, water, activity and food, it's normal to not experience weight loss every single week.
It's very normal and almost everyone has had that happen before. It's very common to go for a couple weeks or a month or more without losing anything. It is called a stall or a plateau.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
At six months out, you should expect (and your surgeon should have told you to expect) your weight loss to slow significantly about this time. It will happen again as you get close to a year out. It is a combination of your body overcoming the caloric malabsorption of the bypass, and of you weighing much less (which makes your daily caloric deficit much smaller than when you started, and therefore it takes longer to lose a pound).
It is nothing to worry about.
