weight at a stand still



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Would you be able to advise me on my weight plateau please?

I am now 5 weeks post op and feeling great... I have lost 24lb, but this was in the first 2 and a bit weeks... since then I have not lost an ounce and I am starting to feel a little down... from what I have read this seems fairly common and I have also read that the weight will start to come off again... Am I just being impatient?

Obviously, I understand that I won't lose weight at that speed but I would like to see a steady decrease over the weeks.

I spoke to my nurse and she just repeated the post op advice of three meals a day, no more no less and that I have 100gms of Protein...

I am not ready for full on exercise, but I do walk at the moment.

Any help would be really appreciated...

Thanks in advance

Hi Coops, not wanting to jump into your conversation, but I was at a plateau stand still for 3 1/2 MONTHS. . not weeks but months, . . it was really irratating, but i knew it would eventually budge and it did. . . i didn't do much different other then put away the scale and live my life like normal. . . . good luck, it's going to move eventually!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
