I am now on purées for three weeks and i am not losing weight. i have Remained the same size. I am in ketosis like my surgeon told me to but I am only losing inches. Anyone else experience the same with adding food?

Just wondering, I am at almost a year post surgery and I have been at a stall for months now. Has anyone not exercised much and still lost weight? Looking for menu ideas for day to day. I know I need to cut down on my carbs especially bread :-( I still cant eat much at one sitting and I do eat 4-5 times a day from yogurt to protein bars to protein filled meals. Do you eat red meat or did you make the switch to turkey and chicken only? I want to break this stall. I cant do protein drinks mainly because I got burnt out on them from pre surgery and post surgery. The banana one is the only one I can get down these days. I cant do the gym, I am looking into streaming the videos from beachbody.com. Just getting frustrated.

Who else is having their surgery in August?

I would say that I'm in the same boat by I'm not doing anything about it. I figure that my body is working things out and that eventually I'll lose weight again. Many things have not returned to "normal" for me: sense of smell/taste; appetite; amount that I'm able to eat (very little still); not sure about my continued hair loss. The thing that I find most distressing is the change in my bowels. I have very little holding power (going #2) and have had my share of accidents, both in my pants or right on the kitchen floor. It's humiliating. What am I to do when all of the bathrooms are occupied and I "have to go"? I now keep several pots and pans at the ready, but it makes me wince thinking about pooping in a pan because I can't hold it. I've also had accidents when I've been out and about. I'm not aware of it at first, then I notice an unpleasant wetness and I realize that I also smell bad. More than once, I've gone straight from the car into the shower. I also keep a large towel in the car to protect my seats. If this keeps up, I might consider diapers when I go out. Sheesh.

Stick to it! Don't let this control you . . . you've got this! You worked too damn hard and lost too much damn weight to let it take over you now. You can do do this! Going back to basics will get you on the right path.

Good luck Carol! I hope the pouch reset works well for you! My story is looking a bit like yours. I had sleeve surgery last year and have lost all my excess weight fast. I'm starting to look a little emaciated and want to stop the weight loss and even gain a little weight back. So I've been indulging in those carbs that I said I wouldnt let back into my diet - breads mostly, but also saltines and graham crackers. I don't want to regain a majority of my weight back though so I need to do something different!

I ran a temp of just over 100. One time it was 100.8. I had to go to the Er 2x due to being dehydrated. I'm not sure if it means anything (I did ok) but, it is best to call the Dr right away and get advice. Take care!

💜CONGRATULATIONS💜

I've heard of people gaining up to 10 lbs from the IV fluid! It'll work its way out in a couple of days - maybe a bit longer if you're salt sensitive (that fluid has a lot of sodium in it) - but either way, just give it some time.

hair loss to the point you have to wear wigs is pretty uncommon. Most people "shed" - some a little, some a lot - for many of us, it's really only noticeable to us, not to others. I didn't lose much hair. I did notice extra strands in my comb when I combed it out after washing it, but had I just looked at my head, I would never have noticed. Some people shed to the point of getting some thin spots on their head, but again, often they're the only one who notices it.
