NO WEIGHT LOSS!!!!!!!
Probably nothing is wrong. Just a stall, which is normal.

Did you gain weight every single day? Did you go weeks without gaining?
You cannot expect more, consistently, in loss than you did in gain. You might GET more, but don't expect more. I remind myself that I maintained the same weight for years at times in my adult life (I actually joked with my doctor that my body was not going above 333 because even when I SERIOUSLY overate at the holidays, I was still 333 at my checkup a few weeks later!) and so I cannot have this expectation of losing daily and for months at a time.
Slow and steady got me here, slow and steady will get me out of here.
Don't fret and don't give up. But do consult with your nutritionist on your food journal and be sure you are not leaving some essential piece of your plan out.
HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
Further reason not to worry. It is coming off MUCH faster than you put it on, I am sure. Just relax...this is a marathon, not a sprint.

i was 280lbs at my surgery date. 5/6 weeks post op i was down 43 lbs. from week 6 to week 9 i was at a stall and lost zero although i was doing what i was supposed to be doing.
Do not become frustrated and don't change what you are doing. we are/have put our bodies through major surgery and it it healing and getting used to the new normal. These stalls are normal. mine lasted almost a month and the scale is moving again. whoop whoop!!!
With a smile on my face i can finally say that the scale is moving and i am now down 50 lbs. This surgery is already a miracle in itself. Give yourself time. you have a lifetime ahead of you not just today or this week!
