weight loss stopped

i had wls on 1/16 and as of this week i havent lost anything and i am doing everything as instructed---im 5 days away from my monthly friend, could that be it or could i already be hitting a standstill so soon?

I had wls 1/12 and I will hit a stall then in a couple of days( 1 time almost 2 weeks) I loose 3-5 lbs..I have been thru 4 cousins with this and found out this is very normal..You will loose, it may take some time for your body to catch up, but it will happen Cindy

I lost 28 lbs my first 10 days and since Monday, only 2. I think at this point our body is in shock. Just keep up with your exercise and protein (as required) and it will start moving in no time. We have each other to support through this plateau and we can do it! I know it is hard. Hugs, Beth M

a friend who had WLS said that two weeks before her monthy she would not lose a pound and then when it was gone she'd be down 15 lbs - no exaggeration! It will happen, give your body a chance and it will be successful.

I have not lost in 2 weeks but everyone keeps telling me it is normal. I should also be getting my "monthly" any day now.

Hi Lori, I also too have hit a standstill and talked to my doc and they said that everyone hits it at different times. Yes it is common to hit one this early. I had my surgery 3 days after you and was told and as everyone on here has said give it time and dont give up!! Hope this helps -Sue
