Wow congrats!!! I'm just at 3 weeks post op and for the past week have lost nothing. The first 2 weeks I lost 17lbs. I don't know what to change up. I'm drinking up to 16oz of Water, 1-2 Protein Shakes a day, Jello, and Soups typically. Why an I having a stall?

Hi....3 week post-op stall in normal. Sometimes it's at 2weeks, sometimes at 4. Just type in 3 week post op stall and you'll pull up a TON of info and posts. Also, 17 pounds the first 2 weeks is a LOT. Your body is probably saying "what the $%#!" and needs time to adjust.

Are you on a PPI like Prevacid or Prilosec? I know it might feel like hunger but it almost certainly is acid. It seems to start around week 3 post -op ( at least from the posts I've read here). I thought I was hungry too but it really was acid.....

Everyone is different but it does sound like a stall. Everyone has theirs at different points but try possible increasing your Water intake and see what happens. We get so caught up on Protein that we forget our water, especially in liquids phase. After the stall, i bet you will drop a lot!! dont give up!

Congratulations! You go, girl! Thanks for answering everyone's questions, too! You're an inspiration.

Of course! My Motto is "No big girl (or guy) gets left behind!!!!" If something works for me, i will tell everyone who can also benefit from it. YOLO :)

I am like right at my 2 weeks. I still have the steri strips on, they haven't fallen off and don't seem to be anytime soon:/ I just got a gym membership and a personal trainer and I really want to start. I have been walking but I want to do more. Any suggestions on what I can do? I emailed me doctor and waiting to here back but my PT wants to know when I can start like ab work outs or lifting minimal for resistance. Any ideas help!

theres lots you can do. you can bike, hike, do stairs, begin muscle building and begin strength building in your arms and legs. theres lots of stuff that doesnt directly involve the stomach but easily burns fat in that area. best of luck!

      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.
