Question:
Anyone else have no weight loss about every other week? I am only 2 months out.
I have lost 33 pounds in the two months, but find about every other week I have a "plateau" and nothing happens, I find it frustrating. I am doing everything I am supposed to, high protein, low, if any, carbs, exercise and lots of fluids. Anyone have input? Thank you! — missmollyk (posted on September 12, 2002)

I'm right at two months PO and having the same thing. First plateau was 2
weeks post op for two weeks, then a week of weight loss and 2 more weeks of
plateau, and just starting to lose weight again.

I am having the same problem. I had lap rny on July 17th and have lost a
total of 33 lbs. Now the scale is not moving. I am really frusturated and
just trying to stay focused. Hang in there and it will be fine. Keep up
the fluids. Good luck

I'm 10 months post op and the same thing happened to me. More than likely
you are losing inches. It's virtually impossible NOT to lose pounds OR
inches when you are eating so little. I wouldn't lose weight for a couple
of weeks and then BAM, 10 pounds would be off. Be patient and leave the
weigh-ins for when you go to the doctor.

I found out at 3 mos post that I only lost during my cycle. Nothing for 3
weeks then big loss right at the beginning of my period. Strange huh? A
lot of other women go thru this too. That's my body's pattern and once I
realized it I was fine. I'd drop 8-10 pounds in the beginning, now down to
3-5. Good luck and God Bless!

Think of them as steps. Step, rest, step, rest, and so on. If you slide
on down at Month 1 speeds, you'd end up in a puddle of skin. At least this
way, you can shrink a little as you go.

I AM EXACTLY THE SAME! I thought it was just me. I lose like every other
week. One week I wont lose any, but usually I can lose 5-10 pounds the
following. Wierd. I guess my body is just regulating. I am 3 months
post, down 60 pounds.
