Two Weeks Post Op and Weight Loss Stalled?
afansley replied to afansley's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you so much. One thing I make sure of is to get my Protein. I use Intek mixed with skim milk. Two a day brings me in at about 80 grams a day. Really wish that dang scale would move!!! I wanted to slam it against a tree this morning. I am convinced it is a vile nasty liar (complete with new batteries!). Oh well--knowing I am not alone makes it much better (misery does love company lol) -
Two Weeks Post Op and Weight Loss Stalled?
afansley posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery June 15. My weight was 280 on the day I started my pre-op full liquids (June 9) I lost down to 253.6 as of June 23. On June 24 it showed I had gained 1.4 lbs. I have been stalled at 255 ever since. I am walking 3 miles a day and still on full liquids. I mainly have my Protein shakes with a little Soup during the day. I'm confused as to why I have not continued to lose. Anyone have this experience or any suggestions? I'm feeling very defeated -

Feeling frustrated---stepped on the scales 4 days ago and it showed I had GAINED 1.4lbs (considering I'm only taking in about 400 calories a day on the full liquids I don't know how that is possible). Stalled now with no further weight loss. I'm sure this is normal but it is making me feel defeated. I'm up to walking 3 miles a day now so I know it can't be from lack of exercise. Any suggestions?? -

They prescribed Axcanscndp and I take it 4 times a day. It does relieve it for a few minutes, but it comes back. So between the heartburn, burping and no bowel movements, I'm a pretty pleasant person (NOT). My daughter-in-law had the sleeve the day after me and she's already had 3 BM's ... lol. Maybe she's more "full of it" than me..hahaha -

Congrats! I had my surgery on the 15th. My surgery was an outpatient but the hospital sent a nurse by my hotel room that evening to check. Unfortunately, I threw up the same day I had my surgery--I've experienced frequent nausea ever since. 1. I too have the "gurgling feeling" when I drink--especially ice Water. I still haven't reached 64 ounces a day but I'm trying. 2. BURPING!! (ugh) constant burping. I feel like a pig with the constant burping 3. Nausea--especially in the mornings. I am still taking the nausea medication so that helps. 4. Dizziness on Post Op Day 5 -- nothing major, but definitely could tell I was light headed. Good news is from the start of my Pre-Op liquid diet on June 9 until today, I've lost 24 pounds (WHOOO HOOOOO)
