Hi All, I had RNY on August 22nd. I weighed in at 236 the morning of surgery. At my one week post op I was 228. It's been over THREE WEEKS since surgery and today I am weighing in at 227, a ONE pound loss in two weeks. I am beyond frustrated. I am getting in at least 64oz of water a day. I am eating at least 75-80 grams of protein and am eating anywhere between 500 and 700 calories a day, following to a T my doctors instructions for the soft food stage I am currently in. Last week I tried to go back to full liquids because I have seen some people find that helpful and I still isn't lost any weight. Not even a single pound. I am beginning to regret my decision to have the surgery. I had lost more weight in the 3 weeks no starch period before surgery than I have since having the surgery. Everything I read mentions stalls around 4-6 weeks, but I have been stalled since 1 week out. Can anyone offer insight or support or at least tell me that there is hope for me?? Thank you all for listening...

Hoping things speed up for you as well!

I like the way you think!! Thanks for words of encouragement! I feel like I look thinner, the scale just doesn't agree[emoji6]

I would absolutely love a partner to share my ups and downs with! Thank you so so much for offering. I don't really know anyone that has gone through this so it's tough to know what to expect outside of what the doctors told us during nutrition classes! Are we able to message over this app? I am exercising 3-4 times a week, walking 2-3 miles as well as walking around the neighborhood on the days in between... Praying to break the stall soon!

I hope so!! I did have to stay an additional night in the hospital because of persistent nausea so I got a ton of IV fluids. I was thinking the same thing about eating so little and having to lose weight somehow, I am praying that in a week or so I will get on that scale and see a 5 pound loss! Thanks for your encouragement!
