So frustrating I know BUT after 3 weeks of nothing these past 4 days I'm down 2 1/2 pounds. I'll take it! And I also got more protein in. That was the difference I think. Good luck! Apparently it will budge...sooner or later

I understand I had to wait 6 months for mine I really does help if you lose as much weight as you can before surgery. The reason for that is to shrink the liver. If the liver is too bloated from fatty liver disease which most obese people have you could bleed out if they nic it. The liver is very close to the stomach. You don't want that! Totally sucks but totally worth it. What I was told is if when they go in and the liver is still fatty they will not proceed. Yikes. Hang in there!! It will come.

Thank you Djnohr! I'm taking everyone's advice and upping my protein and my water and see if it works. I was lacking on protein about 50 grams per day. Maybe it's not enough. I also found some tips like no carbs 2 hours before bed,never go over 50 carbs a day,never go 4-5 hours without eating ( which I do all the time) and drink more than 64 oz of water if you are in a hot or dry climate. I'm in Florida so it all makes sense. I'm gonna boot myself and get going on these new things I learned and we'll see! ☺

Ugh,been burning about 250 calories at the gym (starting slow) and still nothing! Not even an oz in almost 3 weeks. I'm affraid I'm gonna be that small percentage that doesn't lose after gastric bypass. Very frustrated

Yes,mine started when I went to puree too! I joined a gym this week in hopes that it will wake my metabolism up lol. Good luck to all of us stuck

Hi Nursedebbie! I'm on puree now. I just buy canned chicken,tuna,turkey and throw it in the mini processor with a little lite mayo. But....I also haven't been bothered with any kind of food,except my Protein shakes,they make me gag!

Well,here I am just over 2 weeks and still exactly the same weight! I even joined a gym and started working out....nothing. So frustrating. Think I may call the doc tomorrow. Maybe what I'm eating too high in calories? Turkey with lite mayo,chicken with lite mayo,1% cottage cheese,baby cereal,soup,avacado,hummus. I'm so frustrated

Yes walking is the best thing for the gas and to get the blood moving! And..the best thing you can do for after surgery is get a stomach binder. They sell them online if you google bariatric stomach binders i think. It's gonna help heal your belly quicker and helps with the pain. Best 35 dollars I've spent. Good Luck!!

Ugh,I understand. I'm just three weeks post op and have been stuck for two weeks! I'm going nuts. So frustraring. Following diet to a T. Lost 30 pounds since my pre-op diet now nothing for two weeks. I feel your pain. ????
