Don't force the weightloss, it WILL happen. You could be retaining fluid. Everyone is different, some people lose loads in the first few weeks and then stall, others stall in the first few weeks and then have an amazing weightloss. Good luck xx

I Think your body is still adjusting hune. Might be an idea to go on measurements too. Am sure the scales
will move soon. Dont panic its early days you Have to give it time. Your probably all swolen retainging fluid and gone into starvation mode. It will sort itself out soon Promise hune. Keep us posted good luck.

I'm 6 days post op tomorrrow and going to get weighed. I don't feel like i've lost any weight, and plus i am still all bloated from the gas, and am struggling to go for a number 2!

But I still want to go - Friday is my weigh in day, and whether i've stalled put on or lost, i just am interested to see what they say.

I'm 3 weeks post op today. For the last few weeks the scales haven't seemed to move. I guessed it was balancing itself out. I have now lost 18lb in pre op and 17lb since op date. The scales will defo move for you, don't worry. I just think you need a few weeks to settle x

Hi Christine,the scales will start moving,mine will probably stop moving,I guess it's cos our bodies our all different,just weigh yourself once a week that's what I'm doing,wishing you all the best chillie x

Yes it is normal to feel very tired in the first few weeks - you're not taking in much nutrients as you're 'eating' so little. Your body will be tired and recovering from the surgery too.
Weight loss will happen, just have a little patience and try not to obsess about the scales. Think of the bigger picture, where you will be next summer and how much better you will feel then.

Im 2 and a half weeks post op and lost 12lb quickly but nothing at all in the last week since I started eating soft foods. Is there a reason for this? So frustrating
