stall after 3 weeks!!!!! ugh!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey all. I was so excited to report that my 7 days post op i lost 19 lbs. Then in my 2 week i was down 28 and now in my third week i completely stopped. As a matter of fact one day the scale said 250 which was my first goal to the very next day saying 255. HUH??? Im confused, i keep losing and gaining everyday. its been a week and i may have lost maybe a lbs but can tell cos my scale isn't digital. I feel like im doing something wrong or im not going to lose the weight. Of course im afraid of failure cos all the other diets were failures.

Also, Im on the 4th stage which is reg soft and moist foods. however, i keep vomiting and i don't know if it is cos im eating too fast or what. When i eat, i actually have pains in my stomach that hurt alot. Please tell me this is normal.

Love ya each.

I too stalled at 3 weeks........and going on my 3rd week on no loss! I just weigh now once a week, on my anniversary day because it was certainly discouraging to get on the scales and nothing was moving.

And if you are vomiting, my guess it's both, eating too fast and too much. Chew slowly, put your utensil down afer each bite. And don't drink!!!

Good luck! Those scales will move again for us!!

Our bodies are in an inflammatory state right now, usually until about 6 weeks out. That means our bodies grab on to Fluid and let go of it in cycles as the body heals and that's why we are seeing the scale move up and down. My doctor explained this to me at my 3 week post op check up yesterday. We will lose the weight! But our bodies are just trying to heal right now.

Yes, i believe i am eating too fast. SOmetimes i am so hungry that i want to eat fast. And i can eat the same food i ate earlier in the day and then vomit it back up. I know i wasn't suppose to drink during meals but would drink cos the food felt caught in my throat.

thanks everyone for ur helpful comments.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
