Plateau 7 weeks post op Lapband to GS with DS Revision

Hi My name is Charity,

I am 7 weeks post op a revision from lapband to gastric sleeve with duodenal switch revision. Things have been stellar for the first 5 weeks other than the usual recovery discomfort etc...Weight loss was going good until the last 2 weeks. I have hit a plateau already?? I lost 1.8lbs last week and week i weigh exactly what i weighed last week 196.4 to the ounce. Is it normal to hit a plateau this soon after surgery? I must say its extremely frustrating. I keep my carbs under 50 or lower and my sugars under 15 everyday. i use my fitness pal religiously and keep track of everything except sauces, i use a little peanut or bbq sauce on my chicken or tofu i also eat serrano ham or crab with mustard and a little veganaise but my calories for food throughout the day is never over 700 so even tho i dont ad the small amount of sauce that i have how is it possible to plateau. I take all my vitamins drink tons of water. I always eat protein first and i'm barely getting in enough calories even after the sauces to gain weight. 

I did ad exercise last week since i finally could but i'm starting slow, walking and doing some abs and lower body to start. 

I dont eat sugar, pasta, bread, rice hardly any veggies an no fruit yet because frankly i can only get in about 3 ounces at a time so i stick with protein , chicken, sashimi, crab, tofu, meatless soy based meat options, serrano ham , yogurt...... i dont understand how i could be plateauing.....

Is anyone else experiencing this, what should i do? is it something i'm doing wrong? help!

thanks for letting me vent

Hi Charity, not to worry, it is normal.  If you search this forum for stall, you will find many who've encountered stalls at 3 weeks out and later.  Throughout your weight loss journey you will have stalls here and there while your body is adjusting in other ways.  I had one stall at 7 months out where I lost only 5 pounds the whole month, but still made it to goal just after a year.

You sound like you are doing all the right things... keep up the good work.

A lot of people plateau early on. I would not worry but believe me it is good to vent. 

What you might do is to start taking measurements and see if your body is adjusting even if you aren't losing
weight. The times I have stalled I can usually tell by how my clothes are fitting that other changes are going on.
