Hellos guys,

I'm kind of depresive today. 15 days post op and I haven't lost any weight in the past 9 days!! First week was amazing, I lost 12 pounds, and the past week I started with the full liquid diet, now I'm in the soft food stage, chew it a lot and I can eat it (meatloaf, deli chicken, vegies and soup).

This really freaking me out, I'm not eating alot, I'm trying to drink as much Proteins I can.

Any ideas on what I can do, or what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!!

Magui, the weight will come off. It is impossible for it not to with such a deficit. I'm going through this right now too, but I have to keep positive and remember this is going to be something ongoing for a long time. I can't keep expecting to lose a Lb a day. It will slow down to about 3-4 lbs per week eventually and I'm ok with that. Better than the alternative!!

Magui, This happened to me up til day 10 lost 21 pounds, then nothing....nothing...nothing.... for 11 days- then I absolutely made sure I was getting in 60-70 Protein sometimes more (there were some days I was taking in 40 gr protein), and making sure I got my liquid intake 64oz. Then couple days later I started losing again. I would suggest go over all you eat, re-read the nut values on pkgs. Make sure your getting your Protein & Water, and just wait it out, your body is adjusting...

Thank you for the advice. I'll reduce my Proteins between 40-50 gr daily

I'm happy today because finally the scale moves a bit

MAGUI,

I THINK MISUNDERSTOOD ME!

DONT REDUCE YOUR Protein, I WASNT LOSING BECAUSE MY Protein LEVEL WAS 40-50 IT WAS MY MISTAKE WHEN I READ THE LABEL ON MY PROTEIN SUP.

WHEN I INCREASED MY PROTEIN 80+, I STARTED TO LOOSE AGAIN!! IF YOU REDUCE YOUR PROTEIN TO 40-50 YOU WONT LOSE!!

I'm in the same boat. I've lost 20 since my surgery and this week it's been nada. I weigh on Monday's and my dr appointment was today and the scale only showed about a half a pound. I get in 80+ Protein a day, I'm sitll on liquids, I get up to 64 oz of Water a day. I thought maybe it was the Soups I was eating. I was told that my body is used to the weight and because I dropped it so fast my body is adjusting before letting go of more. He told me not to worry about the nutritional value in the soups I am eating because I am eating the healthy request campbell soups and that when I hit soft mushies I will need to worry about my intake at that point. I even asked a friend that had bypass done a long time ago and she said the same thing happened to her about 3 weeks out and that she would drink a little grapefruit juice. Don't know the point of that but I might try it. Good news is the scale isn't going up!
