not losing

i've had a myriad of complications since my surgery.  but i'm concerned because i haven't lost a lot of wieght in the past few weeks.  i'm 7 weeks out and I've been at about a 40 pounds loss for the past 3 weeks.  i've been super nauseous for like a month now and haven't eaten hardly anything.  I thought the weight would be falling off instead of creeeping  :(

any wise words of advice???

My suggestion (and don't take this the wrong way) is to reevaluate your thinking.  40 pounds in 7 weeks is just over 5 1/2 pounds a week.  That is in no way creeping.  You are doing great.  Stalls are expected.  Your body needs rest - it will come off if you keep doing what you need to do.

 i just came off a 3 week stall at about the same time you are at ..maybe a bit later....i upped my food as i think my body was in starvation mode plus i started trying to drink more...i have been consistently losing since...so yes you go through stalls and normally your losing inches in those times...keep that in mind.

Hi Surgery day buddy!  Wow.  We are going through EXACTLY the same thing honey.  I am down 40.8 lb and the scale has been completely stuck for about 18 days.  UGHHHHH

AND we are doing great overall.

Stalls SUCK.

Keep the faith!

Sending you love!
