JUST NOT LOSING :(



Recommended Posts

Today I am one month post-op and have only lost 17 pounds. !4 of that was lost in the first 14 days after surgery so in the last 2.5 weeks i have only lost 3 pounds. It is very discouraging as little as I am eating. Just dont know what to do.

Everyone is different. Just make sure you are hitting your Protein and fluid goals and try to be patient. Good luck

Walk at least 30mins a day don't rest on bed for more than 8hrs if you feel exhausted just sit straight on the couch for some time don't loose your confidence you can do it !!!!!

If you look around the forums you'll see lots of posts referencing the "week 3 stall" where it's not uncommon for the body to just go WTF and stop losing weight for a couple weeks while it sorts everything that's happened out. During my stall I put on a couple pounds even though I was eating about 600 calories a day (and I weigh over 300). Sounds to me like what you're experiencing is normal, so don't worry, it'll pass.

Just keep doing what your doing... Your doing fine. Your body is losing inches right now. I always say, sit back and enjoy the ride...The weight will come off. Oh, and keep your diet low carb with lots of Protein. :)

i know how you feel. I was doing great and went back for my post-op 4 weeks and 2 1/2 months and hadn't lost anything :(. It was very disheartening but I know I am losing inches and doing the right things. I have decreased my carbs to see if that is the problem. Just stay strong. Your body is adjusting to new way of living and just needs time. Good luck on the road to better health.

What does your diet, Water consumption and exercise look like? What times of the day are you eating? How many carbs are you eating? How many grams of Protein are you eating daily? What is your starting BMI and weight? All these questions are designed to identify possible areas to improve in.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
