Stall 12 days post-op...Is this unusual?
I stalled at 2 weeks and I am now just slowly coming out of it almost 6 weeks post op. My nutritionist says it's not uncommon and very individual. Having lost 22 pounds preop and 30 in the first 2 weeks pot op, I got very used to stepping on the scale every morning and seeing more of myself gone. One thing this journey is sure to teach is patience.

I'm so glad you posted this...My surgery was 2/19/13 and I haven't lost anything since day 15! It really sucks but I'm trying to ignore it. It's hard though because I can't help but wonder if I am doing something wrong...I fear that maybe I'm eating too much or getting in too many carbs (I'm not and I track everything but it's still a fear****ep worrying I will fail at this too, just like all the other diets I've been on. BUT like I said I'm trying to ignore it! LOL Thanks to this forum I know this too shall pass.
I am right there with you. It is fear that creeps into my mind -- that this surgery won't work for me or that my body just can't lose weight. I know I am doing all I am supposed to do and that is all I can do but wait and pray that the losses will come. It is so nice to hear that others have experienced this and that there is light ahead. Good luck to you.
