Why me!!!! Stalled at 5/6 weeks!!!

[flossypants]

I had my bypass 19th jan & have only lost 20lb in 6 weeks but since week 3/4 it has really slowed down, lucky if I lose 1lb a week, I'm so gutted & deflated, I somehow knew my body would fight it! I'm eating as I should & concentrating on protein & fluids but it so frustrating, I can feel my depression kicking back in!

This is normal, don't be. Deflated, 20lbs in 6 weeks! Your body will slow off around now as it catches up! Don't worry the loss will carry on but it is a gradual process, which is best as your skin has chance to shrink back too.
Jyst think what you have lost so far you are a total success!!

Hang on in there, it will start to move again. Just keep doing what you are doing.

Its hard when the weight loss stalls isnt it? But just bear in mind the weight you lose pre op and now post op that adds up to a lot and losing a 1lb a week is still good at least its coming off and staying off ! I too stalled and is only losibg around 1 to 2 lb a week would love to lose heaps more but have to be happy with what I am losing
keep the faith keep on doing what your doing and you will see results soon enough
