6 weeks post op and stuck, I could use some moral support



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on the Dec.17th , I am 6 weeks post op and have lost 41lbs, I am however feeling kind of sad because I seem to be stuck. I haven't lost any weight in a week and that scares me. I continue to drink 2-3 shakes per day, I snack on two Weight Watchers string cheese per day and I eat 2-3 oz of fish for dinner and I drink lots of Water through out the day. I feel like I am doing everything right and the weight is just not coming off. Any one else experiencing this type of issue??

Stalls are perfectly normal... if you search for stalls in this forum you will find MANY threads on other people expierencing the same thing. It's unfortuante to go through this, but after reading a lot of people's testimonies, it seems as if the body needs to go through this as a way to catch up and deal with the rapid weight loss.

Hang in there... it sucks, I know... but the weight will start to come off again.

That's a very good loss for how far out from surgery you are. I noticed when I had a stall my clothes still got more loose. It's totally normal to have these "stalls" we call them. The wt. loss will pick up again and slow again as you go through this journey. Just keep up with your liquids/protein and the stalll will lift...Good luck and it sounds like you're doing awesome!!! Keep us posted on your progress and ask questions, that's how we all learn from each other and compare notes!

I was sleeved on Dec 19th only lost 30lbs I have been at a stall for over a week. I feel great though and finally feel energetic and sleeping waking up and being awake. I am sure we will start losing again soon. Look at the positives and the numbers will drop before you know it.

Thanks everyone, this was my first post, since then I have lost 3 lbs!!! I also started actually using my membership at a gym yesterday! It felt so good to be back at it! It's been almost 8 years since I've really worked out consistently. Yeah, I didn't like looking at my reflection, but I just keep thinking, this is my temporary body! I will continue to loose weight and start to love my body again! :rolleyes:

      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.
