2 Weeks Out And Not Loosing



Recommended Posts

i am so frustrated. I was loosing really good, I lost 9 lbs on pre op diet, then 18 lbs one week into the surgery. I haven't lost a single pound after that. I started eating enough Protein n drink enough Water but I'm not loosing. I'm on the puree phase right now. For Breakfast I will have 2 egg whites, lunch I will have tuna n dinner I will have some type of soup( blenderized). Can someone please help me?

I lost 7 on the pre op diet and lost alot the first 2 weeks and then hit a stall right before the third week started. I was irritated greatly by this and thought that I wouldn't lose any more weight. I was in a stall for a week and a half. I started losing again after that. You will hit stalls and then start losing again. THere is no need to fret, just get Protein in and drink your fluids. I am nine weeks out and have lost 35 pounds. Don't worry and everything will be fine.

Please. remember your body is going through changes. You will NOT lose a certain number of pounds every day. You just won't. Your body is adjusting. You're 2 weeks out from surgery. There's nothing wrong, you're just hitting a point where your body needs to adjust. THROW OUT YOUR scale. A watched pot never boils.

I am three weeks out. Just started mushy foods. I had lost 26 total at two weeks out. Then I hit a stall for a week. Today I weighed and i'm down three more pounds. I had talked to the doctor and they said your body is just adjusting to everything and this will happen. I am sure you are losing inches still. So don't worry, you'll be fine!!

Please stop weighing yourself every day. It will drive you crazy. I am a victim of the scale. In the beginning, I didn't bother weighing myself and was very happy :). Then I decided I wanted to see how many pounds I would loose over night. That's when I noticed that I was in a stall. I have a hard time staying away from the scale now. I am trying to not weigh myself until Valentine's day which is next week.

Eat alot of Protein, drink alot of Water, and just focus on enjoying today. You will do fine with your weight loss! Trust me. You will lose it. ;)

      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.
