So day 6 I was rather happy with the results on the scales down 5kg or 10.5lbs, and by day 8 down 7 kg (15lbs). However since day 8 I have been constantly hungry, and the more I drink the hungrier i get. As I am only on fluids it does not help. Day 10 and weight gain about 1kg (0.5lbs). How can this be with my intake being less than 800 cal a day. How can i get rid of this hunger while only on fluids. Its really discouraging as cals down but weight not doing anything I did not think I would plateu this soon into the journey. Does anyone have any ideas how to overcome this hunery and help with the weight loss. Up for any ideas at this stage.

Hopeful to be full

Relax you just had surgery....like yesterday....you haven't plateaued-you haven't even started YOU ARE STILL HEALING. You will contiue to be hungry until you get properly adjusted a.k.a. fills. This process of adjustment can take anywhere from 1 month to six month depending on the person and how often your doctor does fills and how much he puts in. Some people even gain a little weight until they are properly adjusted and it's ok. As you start to go from eating nothing (liquids) to eating solid food you might gain a little or stay the same cause you're eating more. It's also important not to starve yourself (800 cal?) as this can also stall weightloss. Just keep doing what you're doing and maybe start with some exercise like walking as soon as you can. Mostly importantly don't panic!
