How long does it last?
I know everyone has the 2-3 week post op stall, but how long does it last?? I was 4 weeks yesterday. I lost 25 pounds the first 2 1/2 weeks, but have not lost anything since. I've stepped up my walking and am actually eating protein (fish), veggies and fruit. Drinking a ton of water too!! Am I just getting impatient?
Everyone is different, but I'm down 28 pounds at 7 weeks, I started at 222 and am at 194. It was much faster at first, the last few weeks just a pound or so. But, I feel amazing and look so much better! And, my surgeon said a stall gives your skin time to catch up, so I'm cool with not dropping it all sooo fast. Judge by your clothes, not the scale. And work your program. Hey, the last time I lost 28 pounds in less than 2 months was never! :)
Congrats on your surgery and loss. I seem to remember that I was swollen for the first month and it took me prolly a month to start losing at all. Most of it was water at first and then as time went on it started to be the fat cells going off. I was so ready to shed pounds that I obsessed over the scale for months and drove my family crazy about it. It does pick up after a while and it sounds like you are drinking enough and getting protein. Good luck.
