JeffA70 200 Posted January 15, 2013 Had surgery one week ago. scale hasn't moved in four days. Really weird. Am now on the soft food Stage IV diet after yesterday. Got 70+ g of Protein in yesterday, got 60+ oz of Water in. Every day, I've been following the script to the letter. I read about stalls, and I know that people say not to worry, but it's weird. Anyone else encounter one already like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2013newme 42 Posted January 15, 2013 I bet your body is still swollen and you still have all the gunk left over from surgery..... continue to follow the script - I bet you will see it soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeffA70 200 Posted January 18, 2013 Day 10 post-op, day 7 of completely stalled weight loss. Getting all my Protein in (70-80g daily) as well as fluids (64+ oz of water). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FXDF2008 14 Posted January 18, 2013 My surgeon said that the first month is about healing, not losing. Still I can certainly understand your confusion and frustration. What kind of foods are you eating? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeffA70 200 Posted January 18, 2013 My "meals" are 2 oz of mushy Protein 3x a day (yesterday was B - Cottage cheese, L - Baby food, D - Ricotta), and then a Protein Shake, as well as a small homemade protein pudding for a nighttime snack. In between, fluids all the time (broth, sf Jello, Water, C Light, etc.). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ilovekili 0 Posted February 9, 2013 I had my surgery 10 days ago and have lost 16 pounds. I have also stalled. Everyone says it is normal while we heal, but I definitely want to see movement! Hang in there Jeff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
