Only Lost 8 Lbs Firt Week, Stall For 6 Days After Surgery.



Recommended Posts

Hey guys... I'm totally not comparing... Well trying not to. 2 weeks post op. 8 first week and nothing in week 2. Wth. I'm on full liquids for a month! Anyone know what I can do different. I'm drinking about 30/ 40 oz of Water and 50/60 grams of Protein in my shakes.. I'm also doing some broths, not much because I can't take in alot so everytime I eat I'm trying to do protein. I'm also sick of liquids. Like dying from something different. Is this stall after surgery normal and any ideas???

I don't think you can qualify an eight pound weight loss in one week with "only". If you are still at eight pounds a month from now, then you have permission to hit the panic button. Otherwise, sit back, relax, and let it happen at its own pace.

I hit the two week stall, too. I'm at seven weeks now, and in the middle of another week-long stall. My body is really fighting me to stay at its comfort weight. Bleh.

      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.
